Our first ever Summer Social July 19, 5:30-8:30 PM☀️☀️☀️ We will have water inflatables, a foam machine, DJ, and food trucks!! We hope to see as many students and their families as we begin to transition from summertime back to school

The only thing left now is to see the seats filled with my awesome new group of third and fourth graders!

It was an incredible open house tonight! I am very excited to work with these families!

It was a great day being back in the classroom and getting to know everyone! The kids did an activity called "Quiz-Quiz-Trade" today with questions to get to know each other better. It was great seeing them relax and start forming friendships.

It was a great first week! On Thursday and Friday, we started our Leader in Me learning. Students learned ways they can be a leader, and the class worked together to create our class mission statement. Students also spent some time sharing highlights from their summer.

Third graders learned about magnets this week. Part of the learning involved them just "playing" with magnets testing out what was and was not magnetic. Some comments I heard include: "The magnets stick to the board!" "The magnets stick to the pen!" They had fun!

Fourth graders have (temporarily) become system engineers. They are learning about different systems to help them gain the understanding to solve the problem of blackouts in a fictional town. This week, they created a small system using a solar panel, clips, a fan, and a motor.

The class got to enjoy extra fresh air today as their class reward for meeting their lead slip goal!

Third graders spent part of the afternoon showing off their balloons for the third grade parade. Fourth graders spent time time trying to COLLECTIVELY choose only 2 "system improvements" for FINALLY solving the blackout problems in the fictional town of Ergstown

Elif placed 2nd in Written Composition!! So proud of you! ♥️

All the classrooms were individually decorated by PTO over the weekend! What a nice surprise that I know my class will LOVE! JRES
