Third graders had a fabulous day today!










1B had fun with a pumpkin investigation! We counted ribs, measured, described, carved, and designed our own silly faces. We even did pumpkin science: sink or float?...2 students predicted correctly! They were amazed a pumpkin could float. 🎃









More 1B pumpkin fun! 🎃

This afternoon, Julie Arnold visited the third-grade classrooms to share a wonderful introduction to Japanese culture. Under her guidance, students practiced using chopsticks and learned to count to ten by picking up pieces of popcorn. With the help of parent volunteer, Sara Slaughter, they also played Fukuwarai- a traditional game similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey"-where blindfolded students arranged facial features like eyes, eyebrows, and lips onto a blank face. The children loved tasting a variety of Japanese treats, including roasted seaweed snacks, jagaimo (potato sticks), Haribo gummy bears, and Pocky sticks. Students crafted jumping frogs through origami and created their own traditional hachimaki headbands. Beyond the activities, students discovered fascinating differences about school life in Japan, learning that Japanese children wear uniforms, attend school for a much longer academic year, and personally clean their classrooms to show respect and take ownership of their space. Thank you, Julie, for such an engaging and educational experience!










Sometimes it is just your best day! Congratulations to Paige who won the library coloring contest and used her hard earned tickets to buy a pass to read to Mrs. Stetler.


Here is your update for the week! A busy, but fun week ahead!
