Board Meeting Agenda for April 13th.

These sweet kids saved up their Tiger Bucks and bought a coupon to read to a therapy dog. They got to cash in on that today! 🐾 HUGE thank you to Amy Gibbs who is always more than willing to donate her time so that our students have have this awesome experience 🐶

Sunshine, smiles, and learning! ☀️✏️ Mrs. Sleeper’s kindergarteners took their lesson outside and practiced reading, listening, and writing with a fun “Headbanz”-style activity. Students worked with a partner—one wore a sentence on their head while the other read it aloud. The listener had to carefully hear each word, write the sentence down, and then the pair checked together to make sure it matched. It was a great way to build teamwork, strengthen phonics skills, and practice sentence writing 💛💜

Fourth graders organized a “living museum” to showcase what they had learned through research and informational writing. Each student selected a historical figure to research. They then used this research to write an informational piece, focusing on clear structure, accurate details, and strong explanations.

For the living museum, students transformed their writing into interactive presentations. . When someone approached, each student presented key information about themselves.

The project helped students strengthen research skills, organize information effectively, and build confidence in public speaking. It also made learning engaging and meaningful by combining writing, creativity, and performance. We are so proud of our fourth graders!
