Congratulations to our Honesty winners for the month of February! Students in grades K-6 have been working on our character trait of honesty, and discussing scenarios when it's hard to be honest. Awesome job to our winners! Next up is Cooperation - how we can work together to reach shared goals!
Our 3rd graders completed their paper airplanes after using I-statements to describe feelings like worried, anxious, distracted, and nervous. Students filled in their I-statement like this: "I feel ____________ when ____________. I would like ____________." Great flying, bluejays!
Any students who will be in grades 10-12 in the fall of 2024:

Students in Mrs. Stafslien’s Social Studies classes have been learning about Ellis Island and the immigrants who came to this country for a better opportunity many years ago! They wrote pretend postcards to family left behind, discussed items they would need to bring with them, packed suitcases with things essential for the trip, and researched the Statue of Liberty and her symbolism of freedom. 🗽🧳
The best reward as a teacher is when your students WANT to learn more! Axel recently contacted his great- grandmother from Sweden who came over to America on a ship. He recorded the phone conversation and shared it with the class. What an amazing story! The kids realized they are a part of living history!
So cool!💙

For the last several weeks Mr. Hellman’s Social Studies classes have been learning about the causes of the Civil War. After learning the causes, the class enlisted to fight for their respective sides. Now that they are finished with basic training they have started to experience military life in 1862. Today they got their first taste of military food called hardtack. This was a real food served to civil war soldiers and was described as “a cracker baked to the consistency and hardness of concrete.” Reviews were mixed: )
