Students in Kindergarten got to play triangles in music class last week! They made the noise of the chiming clock in the nursery rhyme "Hickory Dickory Dock." They also got to experiment with how to hold the triangle and how to play loud and quiet on a triangle.

Bulldog pride was on full display! 🐾💙 Timothy Ball Elementary families, students, and staff marched in the parade in their blue and Bulldog gear, carrying our "We Are T-Ball" banner and shaking pom-poms along the route. We loved seeing so many smiling faces and so much school spirit, and we're proud to represent Crown Point Community Schools. Thank you to everyone who came out to walk with us and cheer us on!

This past week in writing, 5th graders in Mrs. Walstra's class talked about how sensory details can help bring our writing to life! Students took a sensory walk and practiced noticing what they could see, hear, smell, and feel. It was a fun way to gather ideas and become stronger, more descriptive writers! ✏️👀👂🍂

Students sit in groups around tables. Tables have pinto beans and sandwich baggies and a clear tub filled with some green water. Students load beans into the baggie and then place it on aluminum foil boats to see if they can hold the weight of the beans.
