Your "Sunday Smile!"

#SpreadTheWord!

Fourth graders have been keeping "tabs" on the
pumpkins that Mrs. Ryan's students planted on our campus
 

There's no lack of creativity or fun in our Preschool classes.

When writing, Mrs. Stevenson's Kindergarteners are mastering  

the use of handy little "Spacemen" to include spaces between words.  

We're celebrating "Family Reading Night," (4:00 - 6:30 P.M.) 

on Thursday November 20th.  Save the date and join in on all the fun! 

We're "on-the-way" to achieving our reading goal of 30,000 + AR points.

Mr. Bailey's third graders' writing project is reaching

out to a favorite professional football team or a business.
Ryder had the honor of hearing from The Dallas Cowboy organization.

Come back here to "Shining Moments" as we share Parkside's important
celebration of honor and pride for veterans from our
community, both past and present.

A Special October

 

"Boots Up," during Red Ribbon Week.

Did you hear Mrs. Ryan's class grew pumpkins?  

Giddy-up!

Mrs. Morgan recently accompanied

her father on his Honor Flight, to Washington D.C. 

Pupils made cards for Mrs. Morgan's
dad, during art classes.  Thank you Mrs. Shick!

Hooray!  The Cozy Cup Cafe is
 open again and the entire staff is amazing!  

"We believe we can change the world."

Learning Together Works Well

Ready for "Throwback Thursday"
and memories from the winter of 2018?
Parkside's very own entrepreneurs shared their goals!  

The twins have a history of caring
for chickens, gathering eggs, and creating

a small business with support from family.

Time for "show and tell," 

along with many questions.

Learning together works well.

#ThankYouBoys

It's important to show consideration

Out and About

  #4for40 *Message Number 40     

Preparing for coming experiments to discover just what

is possible for the second year of Parkside's Garden Club adventures.

These beds, once planted, will be hosting tulips in the springtime.

Cleanup chores include removing traces of old plants and raking the soil.

Gardeners discovered some stray potatoes from last year.  

Dirty hands from digging in those beds...no problem.

Together is Better!

  #4for40 *Message Number 39      

Setting goals with classmates is a sure way to recognize
 how grand any success that comes feels.  We know "together is better!"

Mrs. Stevenson's Kindergarteners' winning ways are mastering counting numbers. 

Mrs. Cochran's 1st Graders were victorious in Parkside's grade level competition .

Bravo to these 2nd Graders, Mrs. Gray's Reflex winners. 

There was no stopping Mrs. Wallace's 3rd Graders in the Reflex challenge.
Congratulations!
