Week 5 Highlights

Preschoolers enjoyed PE with Ms. Jordynn. They also learned about various types of apples and had special visitors for lunch on Friday. Kindergarteners had a blast getting active with Uncle Malik during PE. First graders focused on using proper spacing between words in sentences. Second graders honed their writing skills by using spelling words to craft creative sentences. They also engaged in practical math, measuring and estimating the lengths of various classroom objects.

Third graders began their journey into division, learning terms like divisor and dividend. They also excelled with their memory verse and worked on compound and complex sentences in Language Arts. Fourth graders diligently worked through a healthy Language Arts packet, focusing on sentence stretches and spelling word practice. Fifth graders explored unique spellings for plural nouns and took a musical symbols test in band. Sixth graders continued their study of the Earth’s core, watching an insightful video about the activity beneath Yellowstone volcano. Seventh graders connected with kindergarteners for book buddies, fostering positive interactions between older and younger students. Eighth graders delved into Chapter 16 of History, taking notes on the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War.
