On Wednesday, Mrs. Byrum, our School Counselor, visited Mrs. Harrison’s 1st grade class for a fun and interactive lesson on friendship! Students learned how to make new friends, join in, and include others. Together, they created a “recipe for friendship” and practiced kind words they can use, like “Can I sit with you?” and “Come play with us!” To wrap up the lesson, students showed their learning through creative artwork. We’re so proud of their growing friendship skills! #SchoolCounseling #FriendshipSkills

Today in Mrs. Leggett’s Kindergarten class, Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor, shared an important lesson on putting INTEGRITY into practice! Students explored real-life scenarios and asked themselves the following questions: 1. What would you do?, 2. What's the right thing to do?, and 3. Would your choice change if no one was watching? We’re proud of our students for learning that strong character is built one right choice at a time! #WisdomWednesday #SEL #CharacterEducation #Integrity

K–2 students had a blast combining reading and STEAM last week! After reading Learning to Ski with Mr. Magee, students enjoyed the author’s use of rhyme and then built ski slopes for their own “Mr. Magee” (a ping-pong ball), making sure it traveled the full length of the table without falling into the ravine. We also read The Thing About Yetis and put our creativity to work by building snow castles. Hands-on learning and imagination were on full display!

Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten class has been working hard on writing sentences using our three important writing rules: always start with an uppercase letter, leave a finger-space between words, and finish with a punctuation mark. Our scholars did an awesome job remembering the rules on Friday and encouraging one another during Reading Horizons as they worked to do their very best!
