Better World Day

We had a special Better World Day! Each year our school celebartes this special day and contributes to making the world a better place. This year each grade level contributed to our garden and learning about composting.

We learned about what items can be composted, visited the garden and mixed compost and helped pick up trash we found outside.

Hawkquest

We have loved learning about birds and what helps them survive.

We had a special visit from Hawkquest. We learned about a few different birds and how we can help.

Students got to see a harris hawk, barn owl, perigrine falcon and a bald eagle.

What makes a bird a bird?

We have started our third expedition- Birds! We reflected on what all birds have and what some birds have.

We learned that all birds have beaks, feathers, wings and feet.

We learned that some birds fly, birds can be diffrent colored and birds eat different things.

We can't wait to keep learning more about bird body parts and how they help them survive!

Happy Valentine's Day

What a special day! Thank you to everyone that made it possible even with a delayed start!

All week we have been working on leaving "heartprints" behind. We have been focusing on kind actions that can leave an impact on others.

Dance Celebration of Learning

Our first graders have been working hard over the last few weeks to collaborate in groups during Specials time (art, PE and technology). Students collabaorted with a group to create a logo, dance and costume. They did a great job collaborting and showing compassion.

We loved seeing everyone's dance! Each group worked hard, was compassionate and had fun.
