First few days of Kindergarten.

Kindergarten

On the first day of school Mrs. Fedele's class did their first team building activity to try and save a gummy worm named Fred. Fred fell off his boat and didn't have his life vest on. Using only paper clips, the students had to get the life vest onto Fred. Every group was successful and did a great job communicating!

1st graders in Ms. Wells' class completing a STEM challenge where they had to get a gummy lifesaver ( the "life preserver") around a gummy worm (his name is Fred) while only using paperclips!

Second grade got to know each other by playing "A Warm Wind Blows" in the pod!

Mrs. Atwater’s class is showing off all the different strategies that they know for adding! Including number bonds, tally marks, make a ten, and ten frames! Way to go!
