Mrs. Crystal and Miss Ellie's preschoolers had a fun Halloween week!
Preschool had so much fun dressing up to celebrate Halloween!! (Halloween means All Hallows' Eve, which is the night before All Saints' Day.) We enjoyed playing fun games, eating delicious snacks, and making a beautiful leaf craft- all courtesy of our amazing parents! What a fun way to end our school week! 🍁🍂🎃
Art classes have been visiting Peru to learn weaving and to learn to draw llama.
Mrs. Crystal and Miss Ellie's preschoolers had a busy and fun week! We were still learning about pumpkins. We did a lot of pumpkin math by counting lines on pumpkins and measuring pumpkins. We enjoyed a lot of time outside with the beautiful weather that God has given us this week as well! Some of our friends have learned some new gross motor skills! we have a couple that have or have almost mastered going across monkey bars, and others are going upside down or flipping over on the trapeze bar! We had bring something that started with letter H for show and tell and we had a lot of similar items this week so we went up in groups to see what was similar and then the last group what was different. Each child still told us about theirs. We ended our week with Grandparents day and the kids were so excited because that was the first no nap day :) They all had so much fun!
Our kindergarteners celebrated 50 days of school!
We love our grandparents! Thank you all who were able to celebrate with us today.
As we learn about layers of the Earth and fossils, we made our own sedimentary rocks with sand art in 4th grade.
Thanks to Arts Quincy for a great field trip to John Wood Mansion.
Our kindergarten and 8th grade buddies had so much fun at the pumpkin patch today!
In light of this being National School Lunch Week, we wanted to give a shout-out to our amazing cafeteria crew (of only two)! These ladies work hard at making our school lunches delicious and healthy. Their behind-the-scenes work and dedication do not go unnoticed!! We are blessed to have them at our school. Thanks for all you do, Kathy and Amy!!!
Mrs Crystals preschool class and Mrs O'Neals 4th grade buddies went on a fall walk to Columbus Road Church and back. The 4th graders helped the preschoolers make some beautiful fall collages along the way.
Our preschool classes had so much fun learning about pumpkins today from Theresa Roegge from Mill Creek! She brought a pumpkin and guard for each child to pick out as well!
