Mrs. Gilluly’s class learned about the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. this week by listening to and discussing a book about his life and answering comprehension questions about our reading.
After listening to and discussing the wise words of Dr. King in the book Martin's Big Words, we drew self-portraits and wrote our own "big words" around our drawings. Our "big words" describe the character traits that each of us have. We found similarities between our traits and those used to describe Dr. King. Finally, we talked about the ways we can honor Dr. King's life, and the examples he set, with the kind deeds we perform each day.

First Grade and Kindergarten
Music
In honor of MLK day, students in 3rd grade learned to sing freedom songs. Freedom songs were sung during the civil rights protest of the 1950’s and 1960’s as a way to peacefully send the message of equality. Students were asked to pick a cause or person they were passionate about and that inspires them to write a song about.
Butler's PTO Dine & Donate Night - Owowcow!
Our Butler PTO strives to create events that celebrate our school community! This week's event, in particular, was extra special and sweet! While supporting a local business, our students and their families enjoyed some ice cream on Wednesday, 1/11 - in return, Owowcow presented a check to the PTO which will be used for upcoming school events and initiatives.
Second Grade Pie Day
Students within Miss Lawn’s room work throughout the day and earn tickets when they are active participants in their learning. In the beginning of the school year, Jacob H. and Miss Lawn were discussing fundraiser in which the person gets ‘pied’. Jacob worked very hard to earn 200 tickets. As an earned reward, he was able to ‘pie’ Miss Lawn. It was a fun event for the other Second graders to observe!!
