Mrs. Cheers' Kindergarten class is learning important math skills through fun, hands-on activities. In this recent lesson, students used geo boards and tally sticks.
Geo boards help elementary students learn mathematics and geometry, including creating shapes, patterns, and lines. While, tally sticks help students visualize numbers and learn skills like counting and grouping numbers.
These little mathematicians are learning and growing every day!

Mrs. Bright's Food Processing class is getting into the Thanksgiving holiday spirit.
Her students recently dissected pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, and made pumpkin puree. Then, they made pumpkin pie in a bag.
While this process was happening and the days leading up to it, the class learned about pumpkins and how they're made into pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie.
Of course, the lesson ended with students enjoying their pumpkin pie desserts!

Students each held up large letter signs and worked together to form three-letter words. This is a fun and interactive way to build early reading skills!
