Miss Moore's Kindergarten class is working hard to learn the letter C with our first Superkid, Cass!

Our first grade teachers welcome their students to a new school year! It's going to be a great year! From left to right: Mrs. Rydzewski, Mrs. Curtin, Mrs. Wendling, Mrs. Mannherz, Mrs. Fedele, Mrs. Reichert, Ms. Mortimer

First grade has been busy learning expectations and procedures, but best of all, they have been working and playing with their friends! Many new friendships are being made during class and at recess. These new classmates are taking care of each other by helping one another learn, including others in their recess play, and using kind words to brighten everyone's day. We are having fun in First Grade!

On the first day of second grade, the students played “where the warm wind blows” in the pod.

In 2nd grade, we like to dream big! We read the book "The World Needs Who You Were Made to Be" by Joanna Gaines. The book explores how everyone thinks differently in their design of a hot air balloon. Some dive right in whereas others calculate their every move. Differences among the group are accepted and even embraced. This led us into a discussion on how we also learn and think differently in our own classrooms. We each have different hopes as well. We expressed what dreams we have for second grade and created a hot air balloon to showcase our goal. Check out C-Pod to see our hopes and dreams flying high!

Another great first day of school photo from our 4th grade staff!

We are celebrating Dot Day in art class this week! We read the book "The Dot" by Peter Reynolds. We created our own mark by decorating a dot with different lines, shapes, and color!

Mrs. Rothman’s class had so much fun the past two weeks learning about school. On this Fun Friday, we read “Pirates go to School” by Corinne Demas, made a School Bus snack, and sang the Wheels on the Bus!
