Our 4th-grade ELA students have been learning about the five senses and working in small groups to read stories aloud. This week, they explored excerpts from The Game of Silence by Louise Erdrich. To bring the story to life, we visited the tipi, making a meaningful connection between what we were reading and a real-world experience. What a wonderful way to engage our senses, build reading comprehension, and bring literature to life!
In Ms. Smith’s preschool class we love learning through movement songs!

Congratulations to the whole 2nd grade class! Every student met their first quarter Accelerated Reading goal. They were treated to a popcorn and movie party for their accomplishment. Keep reading kids!
