These 2 KGL learners had fun rolling 2 dice and adding the numbers up. If they had a colored cube placed on that number on their “Clear the Board” game board, they could remove 1 cube from that number. The first person to remove all 10 colored cubes from their game board is the winner!! This is a great fun way to practice basic addition, taking turns, being patient, and teamwork.

Miss Bormann's second-grade class is nearing the completion of their journey through Charlotte's Web. While some students focused on crafting thoughtful responses to questions, ensuring they not only answered fully but also connected their responses back to the original question, all students diligently delved into expanding their vocabulary through the book. Meanwhile, others dedicated their time to weaving their own intricate webs. Their task was to select a single word that best encapsulated a character from the book, then construct a paragraph vividly describing that character. We are eagerly anticipating the unveiling of their exquisite webs adorned with the uplifting words chosen to portray the myriad characters in Charlotte's Web!

This morning, Mrs. Adrian was working with a small group of our ELL students. Two students in particular were diligently crafting beautiful Mother's Day cards. They are writing sentences in English to describe their moms' best qualities and then translating them into Spanish. We can't wait to see the heartfelt cards these boys create for their moms.

Mrs. Vogl's first-grade class is working hard on writing dictation! Together, they built a sentence and broke down the syllables and sounds in the words. They identified high-frequency words and spelled the words as a class. They mastered the skills of organizing sentences and ensuring they included all the proper components. The students made sure their sentence began with a capital letter, ended with punctuation, and made sense. These first graders deserve a big round of applause for their wonderful sentence-making skills!
