Public Library Visit  reminding students of their summer reading program.  Children can sign up by going to any local library.  A great fun program to do over the summer to help them maintain their reading skills they have worked so hard on all year.

Poetry Recital  -   The students all did so well - I was so proud of them and I am sure you were too.  Thanks to all parents who could attend.

For our past explorations students worked on making a bridge out of K'Nex - today a group worked to finish it during free choice Friday, adding the Star Wars ships.  The whole class was very proud of this structure.


We are starting something new on Tuesday.  Each morning except Friday because we have Family Reading.  It is called ......YOUR TIME!!    This is an idea I got from my university course that I wanted to try.  Division 7 is a group of students that often have a hard time settling down in the morning and love to socialize and share things.  'Your Time' will give them that opportunity to do this or sit with a group of friends to play a new card game they had just learned, read a book together or show their peers a craft they had made, etc. Students are welcome to bring in something from home but they are responsible for this and after 15 minutes it will be put away for the day. Other teachers have found this very successful both for social and academic reasons so we are all anxious to experiment with this.
