What We Have In Common!

 There's something new on our door: it's the Commonality Chart!

Students meet in partners and discuss together to find something they have in common. Two examples: "have a birthday in May" and "have seen the Hollywood sign". The findings are then presented to the rest of the class and recorded on the Commonality Chart.

Hopefully by the end of the year, each student will have found something in common with each member of the class!

Missing School Supplies?

  This is the time of year where students discover they have run out of school supplies (like pencils or erasers) or have lost their school supplies (like scissors or glue).

**Students have been asked to let you know if they need any additional school supplies at this time. 

Thanks!

Let it Snow!

 After reading Snowflake Bentley 

and learning more about how snowflakes are formed, students had the chance to create their very own snowflakes!

Party! Party!

 Thanks to the Party Committee for a fun-filled party!

Students searched for penguins, participated in the Candy Cane Drop Challenge and watched a short movie.
