In Guidance, students learned about responsibility and breaking down what responsible choices look like. Students were encouraged to choose one small action that shows how they can support themselves and others, such as:
-Helping without being asked
-Finishing something you start
-Being kind even when it’s hard
-Speaking up for what’s right
To practice fifth graders wrapped up the fall semester by engaging in a team building exercise and made towers using only paper and tape. Good job students.

Although it hasn't been looking like winter outside, it hasn't stopped Mrs. H's preschool class from learning all about it inside. We have discussed what the weather is like, how snow is formed, what we like to do in the winter, and we made our own snow (since there is not any outside!). We also found out that a snowman would melt inside and why.
