In these pics, the 6th graders were completing part of their lesson in the Amplify ELA "Evidence" app. Students were demonstrating how to evaluate a claim based on the evidence that it supports, or doesn't support. After they found all of their evidence, their theories about the origins of the Yellow Fever were put to the test in a digital "tug of war." The 6th graders learned how reading like an investigator is important and that scientific theories are proven by finding the best evidence
The 2nd Graders ended their study of Fairy Tales and Tall Tales with a dress-up day! What great Characters!
On Oct. 13th, the Elementary held its first Kader of the Quarter assembly. During this assembly we honored students who were nominated by various staff members from classroom teachers to bus drivers to principals. Each student was given a certificate with reason why they were nominated and who nominated them. Students also received a goody bag sponsored by Carmeuse and a sign to display in their front yard. For this first quarter, staff were looking for students who "Feel the Pride!" Examples of this could be picking up trash on the bus, always being prepared for class or students who are courteous to peers. We are so proud of our student and look forward to next quarter where we will recognize students who "Opt for Wise Choices."
