Thank you to our guest speakers from Arkansas Department of Transportation for leading our WIN assemblies today, and for sharing their #WhyApply ideas!
📚 Mrs. Kali’s class started their day with Mrs. Pool reading the tall tale of the infamous Paul Bunyan. The students loved learning about all the exaggerations in his story!
📝The students also worked on the draft for their fictional narrative. The kiddos have come up with some great stories that include dialogue between characters!
🧮 For math, they extended their knowledge of measuring with a STEM Project! Students were challenged to build a structure out of straws using specific measurements. It was awesome watching them problem solve and measure accurately!
Don't forget to join us Monday night, 5-7 PM, on the elementary campus for STEM night! This is a student and community event; we would love to see you all there!
📝Mrs. Kali’s class is back at it again with writing. This time, they are planning on writing a fictional narrative! Students spent the day planning and getting their ideas out, then they wrote and illustrated their ideas for their characters, setting, and plot.

🇺🇸 This morning in Mrs. Kali’s class we stopped to take a moment to discuss the significance of 9/11. I shared my own accounts of that day and was honored to have our foster grandparent, Mrs. Karen, speak about her experience that day as well. We took a moment of silence to remember the fallen and the sacrifices that are made for us each day.
📝 Students have also been working hard on an opinion essay over our Arkansas Unit. They were challenged to write a three paragraph essay and so far have completed the introduction and body paragraphs. We will be working on the conclusion tomorrow. I have been so impressed with their writing and the details they have wanted to share!
📚Finally, we finished our day with a new book that was graciously donated to each student by one of our parents! I’m so appreciative of the all the parents support we recieve at our school and how much they give to our kids so each of them can be supported and successful. Thank you so much!

Coach Ninemire's U.S. History classes have been learning about the Dust Bowl and what life was like for people living throughout that time period. After classroom instruction, students utilized the STEM lab to create dioramas that accurately portrayed what a scene from the Dust Bowl era would have looked like. They did a great job collaborating with one another and using available resources to make some really creative pieces!
