In Mrs. Edwards’ first grade class the students are doing all kinds of investigations in math with counting. They are counting by 1’s, 2’s, 3’s, 4’s, 5’s, and 10’s. The students have started working on plants in science and are growing all kinds of different plants.

Mrs. Messick’s class is working hard on the ARMT test this week! Students have been learning different material all year, and it is now time to let their knowledge shine on the tests! After testing they will begin a new science AMSTI kit on sound.

Mrs. Wagner’s ESL students have been preparing for the ARMT by working on many different reading skills such as: comprehension, main idea, inference, vocabulary building, compare and contrast, cause and effect, and many other important skills. They have worked on computer programs that help with these skills and many others. The students have been reading a story called "Abuela's Records". It is about a young boy who visits his grandmother every summer and she plays all of her old records from Puerto Rico. He learns to appreciate and have a love for music just like his grandma. It is a great story about respecting grandparents and elders.
