Resource:
Art: Our awesome little artists have learned that it is National Pizza Month!!! We have learned fun facts, a little history, and discussed our favorite toppings. Students then created their very own pizzas. It has been super fun watching their creativity this week! I also want to say a huge THANK YOU to students and parents that have and still are collecting bottle tops!
Music: The PTA performance videos are posted on Williamston Primary School’s Music Classroom website. It can be accessed by clicking on the link under Wanda Hardison on the WPS Staff Directory.
Thank you, as always, to Mrs. Edwards, for capturing the performance on video! This week, students will sing seasonal songs, learn correct table setting and etiquette, and play musical instruments while reading rhythms.
Library: 1st and 2nd graders have been checking out books this month. They are making sure to take care of their books, and be responsible for bringing them to the library on their resource day, to exchange them for a new one. As students show and practice this, they will be able to checkout more than one book per week!
BOOK FAIR TIME Coming Soon! The last week of October will begin our fall Book Fair! From OCT 30 - NOV 3. As your students are becoming more advanced readers, think about adding to their book collection at home!
