We look forward to celebrating our Seniors next Friday May 23rd. Graduation is at 6 pm.
Attention track athletes!
Coach Fisher will be leaving the Red Gym at 7:30 AM on Saturday (May 17) for regionals.
Monday was the last day of reading groups at Cannon Ball Elementary, so Mrs. Cutting's and Mr. Engel's groups joined together to do a scavenger hunt. This involved the students implementing learned skills such as solving a cryptogram and reading a map to find clues. They found summer fun activities and finished with "End of year Candy Awards" back in the classroom.
WE HAVE CHRYSALIDES! Mrs. Ferguson's caterpillars have formed their chrysalis and begun their transformation into a butterfly! The chrysalides have been moved into their butterfly habitat. We hope to see some butterflies in 7-10 days! Can't post videos, but we learned that when bothered, the chrysalis will shake to scare off its enemies. We had some angry chrysalides today! The students thought it was pretty cool!
Calling all families with 4 years olds... Pre-K Round Up will be on Wednesday, May 21st!!
Ms. DeCouteau's Kindergarten class closed out our Bookworms Life Cycles unit last week. We read How a Seed Grows and planted our own seeds a few weeks ago. We read more books about plant life cycles and learned a lot! We planted tomatoes, watermelon, cantaloupe and various flowers and got the opportunity to write about what we learned. Plants grow flowers, and plants grow food.

An update on Pumpkin Jack in Kindergarten: It's been about 7 months since we carved him and put him in the container to watch. By December he had lots of mold and was starting to get squishy. Now, coming back to school today on May 12, we finally see sprouts! :)
