3 year olds have been working on colors and shapes, and some are learning to write their names. The 4 and 5 year olds are diligently working on learning beginning sounds and applying their knowledge of sounds on to paper. They are looking at pictures and writing the first sound they hear. They have having fun with the process!

Mr. Jenson’s class in Math are on track to finishing the curriculum early, so they are moving into addition with regrouping. In reading they are identifying parts of speech; nouns, verbs, adjectives, prepositions and prepositional phrases. In writing the focus is on brainstorming notes from a source and put it into writing.

Mr. Near's class creating a movie from a story they have written. They are working on firming up multiplication skills in math. In writing, we are preparing for our district inservice which will be addressing 6 trait writing. We will be assessing student writings with colleagues and focusing our discussion around good writing samples for each age group.

Parents joined forces to treat our class to a student appreciation breakfast. Students dined on waffles, bacon, eggs, heart cut-out toast with eggs, strawberries, pears, adn apple juice. We ended with Tony lovell leading a rhythm session on guitar. It was a fabulous day to start the day.

DISSECTION!! One of the most fun things in school is learning about animals through the process of dissection. Also, similar to Mr. Near's information, MS and HS classrooms (like all our other classrooms) have been writing samples for our staff professional development in April. The SOAR grant has provided a counselor to come in and work with students on the AK Career Inventory System and the Personal Learning and Career Plans.
