kINDERGARTEN BY RITA

Mrs. McCarthy's Classroom:
Mrs. McCarthy the kindergarten classroom teacher has 26 students. Sometimes if the students are good they get a warm fuzzy to put in a jar. If they fill the jar they get a classroom party. If they are having a problem Mrs. McCarthy talks to them what she wants to see next time. For fun Mrs. McCarthy's class plays camouflage which is basically hide and seek. Mrs. McCarthy's class just visited the firehouse, and fireman Zack showed them around and did a fire safety talk. They also picked apples at Larry Bell's house. I'll look forward to sharing what's happening in Kindergarten next month, Rita Taylor!

5TH AND 6TH GRADE BY KYLA

In 5th and 6th grade math, we’re are learning about fractions, and decimals.
In history we’re learning about cro-magnons, and magnons. We have a new teacher Ms. Zellmer. She is a very nice teacher and makes us want to work hard for her!

7TH AND 8TH GRADE RIVER

So far in Mr.Russell’s 7th and 8th grade class, we have been learning about cells, in science. In math we have been doing positive and negative integers. Usually, this would be really boring for me, but Mr. Russell makes it okay. In history we are doing a Native American project. Where we make a video with pictures about our group of Native Americans in our groups. We recently got chrome books where we have been doing a writing program called Amplify. On Amplify we will be learning writing narratives. So far I am almost positive everyone loves having Mr. Russell as our teacher. The 7th grade has gotten 4 new students. We have been learning about cellular respiration and we made a city where each place represents parts of cells. We also have been learning about Christopher Columbus. Some people are trying to prove Christopher Columbus may not have been the first person to find America? I didn’t until our amazing teacher, Mr. Russel taught us. Most of us are also selling concert tickets to raise money for our Washington D.C. trip. The concert is on September 30, so make sure to find one of us and buy your tickets fast! In math we are learning how to turn fractions into decimals. So far my year in Mr. Russel’s class has been great.
Signing off, your favorite reporter,
River.
