Tawanka was well represented on The Neshaminy Dream Team. Many Tawanka children and parents came to the game versus the Harlem Wizards to support Mr. Wright, Mr. Blaydon and Mr. Finkel.
FIRST GRADE
1st grade finished their Math Measurement unit by having a Measurement Olympics. Some events included: javeling throw, high jump, frog jump and Olympic flying. Each child competed and then measured their events using the nonstandard measurement tool of popsicle sticks!
They practiced mindfulness using a few different techniques;
Ms. Napolitan taught them mindfulness by noticing how their breathing and heart rate changed with exercise. They thought about their breathing as they blew bubbles, and they also used their senses.
Third graders had hands on fun exploring fossils during our rock assembly. We dug up rocks and minerals to experience life as a paleontologist. Science rocks!
For the month of April, Giant Food Store gave the children sugar snap peas to sample.
One of the most notable health benefits of the peas is they are high in vitamin C.
The kids and staff really seemed to enjoy this month's treat!!
As always we thank Giant for their generosity and help in teaching the children the health benefits of the fruits and vegetables they have shared with us this year.
The Township Library of Lower Southampton Librarians read to our kindergarten and first grade students. The students were excited to have them read them!
We had a great turnout to see our Tawanka students showcase their amazing talents from singing to dancing to playing musical instruments. What a fabulous show they put on. A great time was had by all.
And of course we can't forget the teachers' amazing act as well!!!
The students who participated in READ TO SUCCEED will receive their Six Flags, Great Adventure Tickets the end of May.
