An extra reading incentive was introduced at an assembly on Monday afternoon.  In addition to the regular rewards for reading, the children who fulfill their reading goals for March will earn chances to win rodeo tickets and cowboy/girl boots.  Those who read EVERY day of the month will receive twice as many chances!

Here are some of the Show and Teach Presentations from last Tuesday presented by the Tiny teachers in Kindergarten.

February 25th was the long awaited bus ride to Bean Museum to see the newly remodeled displays. Kindergartners and an impressive number of parent/grandparent/uncle and aunt helpers explored the museum looking at animal displays.  The goal was to look at animals in order to analyze how their characteristics enable them to thrive in their habitats.  The children filled out graphs to show their findings.

You would have sworn you had just walked into a real wax museum if you walked into the fifth grade classrooms.  The fifth graders were dressed up like famous people from different states.  When you pushed the button in front of them, they talked and told you about themselves.  Then they turned back to wax.  These fifth graders mae of wax were very convincing!

All of the children participating in the Artists in Residence groups got to exhibit their hard work and talents for the rest of the school and many parents and grandparents.  You can see some of the ways these students are using their talents if you look through these pictures.
