Our amazing Culture Unit culminated on Tuesday with a Project Based Learning whole school presentation. The preschool shared a digital presentation of them singing a song from another country, the Kindergarten shared their adorable class book on homes around the world, the two 1/2 classrooms shared a digital recording of their class books, and the 3/4 did a very cool video presentation in front of a green screen. The presentation ended with the whole school singing "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing".
For our class books, the first and second graders chose the cultural topic that they wanted to research. The students researched their topic through both print and digital books, and took notes accordingly. The students then had to type their notes and find photos to match their writing. This process was a huge learning experience for all!
Happy vacation to all of you! Enjoy the break, get some rest, and play outside! We look forward to seeing you all in March!

100th Day
We had a fabulous day celebrating our 100th day of school on Tuesday! We kicked off this special day with an assembly and did many classroom activities.
Here is a peak at what the first and second grade mathematicians did for the 100th day! We had stations where we built 100 using: unifix cubes, popsicle sticks, coins, cups, legos,
and pattern blocks. We also read a book about 100, did 100 exercises, and truly celebrated this wonderful number!
At the bottom you will see pictures of Mrs. Delphia's class making artwork with the number 100. Some made the numbers into trees, cars, and even people! There is also a group photo of the class in our 100th day crowns!

Smiles Cares, Shares, & Reads
On Tuesday we had our kickoff assembly to Smilie Cares, Shares, & Reads! Our goal for the next three weeks is to read 1,000 books as a school! If we meet this goal, we will purchase a hand-drawn picture from a child in Syria. The proceeds of the picture will go to an organization that helps send Syrian children to school.
The students got to pick a brand new forever book to bring home, all of which were based on culture or tradition. For the next three weeks students will borrow books from school to read at home, write down the title, bring the book back to school, and add their book to our school goal. Happy reading!
