A Snapshot of Learning

Pop-Up Candy Shoppe
First grade teachers Mrs. Augusta and Mrs. Carpenter host their October Pop-Up Candy Shoppe. You will be surprised to learn that the “candy” in this shop is Books (written by the students). The first grade Students shared the books they wrote “all about their families’ with parent visitors Pictured above are Mrs. Travers with Reese and Julian (left) and Colby pictured with his Dad, Mr. Murphy.

Using Their Thinking Caps
Mrs. DiPalma and Mrs. Trott's second grade students have been using their “thinking caps” in lots of different ways. Mia S. and Connor Q. were contestants in a life-sized version of the game "Guess Who." They gained great practice asking and answering questions in complete sentences as they competed. In a different activity, these same second grade students designed their own “thinking caps” to show and share what was on their mind . What amazing thinkers!

Celebrating Success
First grade students celebrated by wearing their pajamas and bringing in a stuffed animal for filling their “classroom bubblegum jar”! Students must follow school wide expectations to earn the gumballs. Mrs. Augusta and Mrs. Carpenter were so proud!

In Perfect Form
Alexander B. works on overhand throwing at a target station. Throwing and catching using the proper form is such an important skill to know because most all sports involve some type of throwing and catching skill. Addison B. and Alyssa D. work on their agility and fitness during a circuit fitness exercise. To successfully play sports and other games you need to be able to execute these skills correctly.
