This week, Kindergarten read both The Mitten and The Hat by Jan Brett. We did so many fun activities that went along with the books. We talked about characters, event sequence, compared and contracted the two stories, and even made our own mitten craft!
First grade is enjoying comparing objects in math this week.
A new semester of seniors is beginning their journey to financial literacy. Looking forward to a semester of learning and growth. Started by playing the "bean game" for financial choices and opportunity costs.
In Middle School Art:
Sixth Graders took a time machine back and designed their own cave drawing with Chalk pastel.
Seventh Graders are discovering the difference of Radial, Asymmetric and Symmetric balance in their first project of the semester.
Fourth grader Greysen Greenwald was the closest student in an attempt to predict last Saturday's Bears vs. Packers game score. The final score was Bears 31 - Packers 27, and Greysen predicted 30 - 28, matching the final point total.
FGS 4th and 5th graders are in the process of predicting scores for this weekend's playoff game between the Bears vs. LA Rams. Good luck students & CONGRATULATIONS to Greysen!
