1st grade
Twas the day before Thanksgiving, eight boys and girls take a field trip to a turkey farm. They have fun playing with eight exuberant turkeys, but are shocked to learn that Farmer Mack Nuggett plans to kill all the turkeys for Thanksgiving dinners. So the children decide to smuggle all the turkeys home, and all their Thanksgiving dinners become vegetarian this year. The turkeys’ lives are saved!
After reading this fun and wacky story with our students, we brainstormed ideas of what we could eat instead of turkey. We then compiled a list using commas to separate each item. Make sure you check out our turkey display in the hallway.
2nd Grade
Second graders worked with their classmates to compete STEM activities. The students used team work to put their ideas to life as they used cardboard, toothpicks, paper, pipe cleaners, and tape to construct
a covered wagon. The students reflected on their work to determine how their product was successful and which ideas were their best. The students will test their covered wagons to determine which wagon can hold the most weight.
FUSE
5th grade FUSE Writing students worked with partners to learn more about athletes from their favorite sport of choice. Once completing their research, they will work to develop a writing and technology piece to asses and share their learning.
