Mrs. Wheeler, our art teacher prepared a fun activity last week for our paras. You're never too old to have fun drawing and coloring.

Students in Mrs. Beasley’s 1st grade class had fun playing a game to practice their math facts.

Kindergarten teachers planned last week for students to participate in lots of fun activities to celebrate Johnny Appleseed, who's real name was John Chapman. His dream back in the 1800's was to produce so many apples that no one would ever go hungry.

Make sure to fill out the intent form so we can best plan how many to have in each line!

Students in Mrs. Fielding's kindergarten class were showing what they learned with counting and labeling sets. As you can see from their big smiles that they are having fun learning math.

Mrs. Chandler's first grade class had fun researching extreme weather.

Last Friday, Mrs. Strickland's second grade students teamed up with JHS seniors in Dr. Golden's class for a writing project. Our students had a great experience writing their stories.

JHS students in Mrs. Wilburn's HOSA class visited our kindergarten students last Friday. They gave everyone's teddy bear a check-up. Lots of boo boos were tended to, and all patients left happy.

A big shout out to our PTO ladies and Anytime Fitness for the sweet and salty treats. It was enjoyed by all.

We are so proud of these two young girls.

Mrs. Taylor's class enjoyed having a couple of high school students read to her class last week.

Last week, we enjoyed having JHS Yearbook staff opening car doors and greeting our little dragons as they arrived for school.

Mrs. Strickland and Ms. Horn's 2nd grade classes explored states of matter with ice cream floats. A yummy way for these students to learn.

First grade students in Mrs. Whetstone and Mrs. Schroeder’s classes learned about Theodore Roosevelt on Teddy Bear Day!

Mrs. Annie Holman's 1st grade class read, studied and created about apples. The students even made applesauce.

Our Kindergarten students enjoyed having community helpers visit our school.

Reminder to all our parents!
Fall Pictures will be taken tomorrow. Students will need to be dressed in uniforms.

Students in Mrs. Thompson's class earned the letters of “compliment” from admin each time they were complimented on their hallway behavior. Last week, they ate outside for lunch and enjoyed eating ice cream sandwiches.

Ms. Horn's 2nd grade class celebrated "National Eat Outside Day" last week by having a class picnic while enjoying the sunshine.

Mrs. Chandler’s class had fun creating matching games with related addition and subtraction facts.
