A Magical Monday

 When teaching youth to write, they're
also learning to think.  Writing opens that
door to thinking, for many days thereafter.

Sunday Smile

      "Rise & shine," the school day begins.
         Lessons learned, great books to discover!
     Completing fall assessments, yes pupils do.
      No doubt... our cafeteria staff is THE best!
     Mask breaks mean some fresh air & fun...
     ...along with messages written in sunshine.
Lots of joy here, can you tell?

Before you know it, another busy day ends.

So thankful are we- for talented, young leaders within our school community!

Wonderful Wednesday- 9/23/2020

We believe in nurturing our pupils;
thankfully volunteers agree.  Many adults
buy books monthly, for every child in the class.   
We believe in projects that are fun,
and kids enjoy them every single day at school.
We believe in stimulating the imaginations
of youth.  This is a brand new dinosaur.
Don't you agree it's creative?
We believe practicing handwriting can
improves hand-eye coordination for kids, 
especially when shaving cream's involved.
Our young leaders remind us
of how very blessed we are, for
being in the 
"business of education."

Fun in Our Media Center!

 Children love to be read to; it's magical.  
Their imaginations & vocabularies flourish.
Mrs. Banks helped us celebrate "Curiosity Day" with George, a favorite friend whose antics 
have entertained readers for 79 years!  
Thanks in advance for making 
stories "come alive" for special boys & girls.

Sunday Smile- 9/20/2020

Step into this school and you'd quickly see  

"responsible boys & girls."  

Each community of learners help manage
 their classroom, take on special tasks, and then
guide one another if someone needs assistance.

The best thing is that our children 
 often lend a "helping hand" even 
when no one's looking!

Tremendous Tuesday- 9/15/2020

  How about counting on a responsible child to politely take messages and then accurately
 relay important information back to you 
 throughout the school day?

We've got you covered!

Sunday's "Sneak Peek" - 9/13/2020

 

We feel learning must include challenge, variety, choices, and moments of sheer joy for all involved.    

Outside, Mr. Williams will lead the way......

                Don't worrythe water "feels fine."

Yes, many will be showing off their talents.
Thanks to these folks for paving the way for us because you can never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun.  "Together is better!"

Growing Green

 September's Habit:  Be Proactive!

We take the initiative to get jobs done. Having a "can do"
attitude is at the root of accomplishing good things.

Championing Learners is What's Important


Colleagues are a wonderful thing.  Yet
mentoring, that's where the real work gets done.

Marissa Routien will soon complete 
her  Bachelor's Degree in Elementary
Education, from Eastern Illinois University.

We welcome Miss Routien as she
 completes 
student teaching alongside
 Mr. Samuel Mikeworth.  As a
child, math was her favorite subject.

Mr. Mikeworth teaches 3rd grade,
coming to education after studying & 
performing professionally in the
theater.  He's 
passionate about projects.

Did we mention she's a dog
lover and adores 
Ruger & Wrigley?

He's wild about this duo of dachshunds, 
Miss Phyllis Vance & Mr. Dunder Mifflin.
