Over the past month, our PE program has been bustling with activity, skill-building, and community involvement. We kicked things off with volleyball skills, focusing on teamwork, coordination, and communication, which provided students with a solid foundation in this exciting sport. Our community involvement efforts were highlighted by a highly engaging fire safety session, where students learned important safety tips and had the opportunity to interact with local fire department heroes. Additionally, we embraced the rhythm and energy of jump roping, where students not only improved their cardiovascular fitness but also enjoyed mastering new tricks and routines.
PreK and Kindergarten - Learning to use iPads
This month we began learning how to use the classroom iPads. Instead of treating them like a toy, we are learning to use them as powerful tools for creating and learning.
1st grade - 4th grade - Learning how to type
* Finding “Home Base”
* Building Muscle Memory
* Expanding Finger Reach
* Prioritizing Posture over Speed
Thank you to all of the families who contributed to our 1st annual Storybook Pumpkin Patch! Everyone was blown away at the creativity and attention to detail these pumpkins represented. There were so many different books and characters that popped up in the library.
* If you brought a pumpkin - PLEASE remind students to stop by the library to pick it back up to take home.*
Every student will get a prize when they pick up their pumpkin. 😀
Now that October is over… OUT with the Pumpkins and IN with the Turkeys!
This month in the library, students can look forward to reading tons of Thanksgiving books and doing plenty of turkey activities.
