The Kindergarten team rocked their groovy buttons, cupcakes and shoes as one of the grade's favorite story book character, Pete the Cat!

In Mrs. Banks' class, they are learning about the letter Dd. They took a dance break to celebrate the letter Dd!

Kindergarten had a visit from the Lower Southampton Fire Department! They learned all about fire safety and the firefighter’s equipment. Students even got to go inside of the fire truck!

The EL students from Mrs. Stahl's class presented their projects they created about their favorite place in the school to their kindergarten class. It was a big success! The students asked questions at the end of each presentation, and the class was so proud of the progress their classmates made they applauded at the very end!

Three “likes” from fellow students in Mrs. Neff’s class. These students agree with their classmate’s shirt which reads, “Be Kind!” What a perfect motto for all of our Tawanka Eagles!

First grade team was Playdough for Halloween! They each chose a color to dress up as!

Mrs. Fedele's class has been recording jokes using the green screen for the morning announcements.

Second Grade is working on map skills this week. We learned all about different map tools including a compass rose, map scale, map key, and map grid. We took our map grid lesson to the pod! We each took a turn throwing a bean bag onto the map grid and recorded what coordinate it landed in. Then, students organized the data they collected to make a picture graph. It was so much fun and now we are expert map grid readers!

Ms. Wells' class had fun investigating pumpkins by measuring , weighing, and counting how many seeds were inside them!

We had fun dressing up, estimating during Pumpkin Math, and had a visit from honorary Eagle Chance!

Second Grade ELD Students Connect with Community!

While learning about communities around the world, the second graders took a keen interest in our local community and began exploring jobs that people in our own community do. The second graders self-selected from a group of community jobs, researched them, and planed interview questions. This week community workers in those jobs came in to answer questions and share a little more about their work in our school community.

Third grade is working hard to “join the club!” Students are working independently on their My Path lessons that are just right for them. When students pass 25 lessons they join the 25 club. When students pass 50 lessons they join the 50 club. Students in each class are tracking their lessons and improving their skills daily.

Students in B206 worked on the Distributive Property of Multiplication.

Mrs. Fedele and Mrs. Blaydon got together as buddy classes. The students worked together to create fall poems.

Fourth Grade has been working hard on Opinion Speeches for the past couple of weeks during Writing. Today, they had the opportunity to share their opinions with their peers!

Each class rotated every 15 minutes throughout each 4th grade class. Each teacher ran activities such as: Spooky Bingo, Fun and Games, Q tip Skeleton craft, monster mashup drawing, yoga and musical chairs.

The fourth graders are working together to sharpen their math skills 😊

This month's fruit provided by Giant was red apples! They were delivered to classrooms by the rainbow butterfly.

Eating apples supports a healthy immune system. They are low in calories and full of good antioxidants and fiber! Did you know that apples are 25% air? This is why they float and make the perfect fruit for bobbing!

Our Veteran's Day service project is still going on! Donations for Stockings for Soldiers are being collected now through November 10th! Every donation is appreciated!
