Scholastic News!

During Science and Social Studies, we have been reading Scholastic News articles about different  topics including current events in the news, national holidays, and famous authors! But this week, we introduced the Scholastic News app, which allows the students to explore the articles independently, have the newspaper read to them, as well as answer comprehension checks at the end! 


The students loved having their own access to these articles! We are so lucky to have our own classroom iPads that allow us to do this :) 

Check out some pictures of the students learning about the Flying Fox bat, which they told me is the biggest bat in the world, growing up to six feet!



If you get the chance, ask your student something they have learned from a Scholastic News article!

Walk to School!

After coming to school on Friday we headed back outside and did our "walk to school"! As a school, we walked around the neighborhood behind Fuller Meadow. We had a beautiful morning and everyone enjoyed being outside! 

Mr. Sam was watching the traffic to keep us safe!


Talk about some happy kids! :)




This was the perfect way to start our Friday! Active bodies lead to active minds!
