In 3rd-4th grade Library, they read Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds, and then used materials to "corral those carrots." Students had a great time putting their imagination and creativity to work!
The 3rd grade classes of Ms. Hesse, Ms. MaGee, Ms. Resnick, Ms. Cole, and Ms. Wyatt paid homage to our veterans with their fall musical. Students performed a myriad of patriotic songs learned in music class. A special thanks to music teacher Laura Cornelius for the hard work she put into this awesome production.
This month, we are focusing on the Word of the Month, Teamwork. Teamwork happens when a group of people trust each other and work together to reach a goal. Through teamwork, students are learning that "Alone, we can do little; together, we can do so much"!.
