Miss Windham's third grade class created their own (safe) volcanoes in science after reading the book "My Mouth is a Volcano!" They learned how to safely conduct an experiment, worked collaboratively, problem solved, and learned a great lesson about controlling what and when we say something!

This week in PE, we worked on striking an object with control, moving our feet to the ball, and cooperation! Students worked in pairs to strike a ball back and forth as many times as they could. Fifth graders, Tripp Webb and Shawk Tyler, scored a record high of 228! We used the skill of striking in two playground favorites, 4-square and gaga ball! #perocks #dragonpride #striking
Can you believe the second full week of school is over? The beginning of school flew on by!
In third grade, there has been a major focus on building relationships and working as a team. Mrs. Frankenberg’s 3rd grade class participated in a back to school cooperative group
activity called 'Saving Fred’.

First full week ✅
4th graders did a STEM activity using problem solving and communication in Science today!! What fun!
During Social Studies, Mrs. Jones's 5th graders worked together to make the longest chain they could with limited supplies! Students are communicating, collaborating, and creating a positive classroom environment through team building.
This week in PE, we are establishing procedures and expectations! We've learned our daily routine beginning with stretches and a dynamic warmup. Then we identify our objectives and play a game that meets the standards. We've been working together to move the parachute in many different ways using our upper body muscles! We've learned about our biceps, triceps, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, and deltoids! Today we played Shark Attack and Cat and Mouse! Both were a hit with the kiddos! #perocks #ignite #dragonpride #parachutefun
Nothing Bundt Cakes brought the joy to our teachers lounge today! A sweet treat was just what we needed during our first full week back! We appreciate YOU!
4th grade parents.... Tonight at 6PM!
