CCHS: CCHS is proud to introduce the Greenwave Food Pantry. They are looking for food donations to make sure students in the Students in Transition (SIT) program have plenty of food on the weekends. CCHS is working with a local food pantry that will assist, but they have devised a plan to get the supply started. The advisory class that donated the most non-perishables won their choice of root beer floats, pizza, or sundaes. March 11 through 14, students were encouraged to bring non-perishable food items. The winners were announced on March 15, and the party will be on the following Monday.
Numa: Trudy Mills and Lisa Solinski's 5th graders learned about ecosystems and food chains. Students chose an endangered animal, researched the animal, and wrote reports. They had to learn several facts, including why the animal is on the endangered species list. They used the information they had gathered and created a 3-D habitat using materials from the classroom. Some animals that students picked included elephants, polar bears, tigers, capuchin monkeys, Galapagos turtles, Aye Ayes, and gorillas. Students included facts from their reports on their display. They then presented their information to their class, other 5th-grade classes, and their parents. Students enjoyed the opportunity to present what they learned. "It was fun and was good because you're learning how to talk in front of different people," student Kylie Tidwell said. Classmate Trinity Taylor agreed, “I really enjoyed it. It was a fun experience. I hope we get to do more projects like this. I learned a lot." (Pictured left, students in Trudy Mills' and Lisa Solinski's 5thgrade class present their endangered animal diorama to parents and their peers.)
E.C. Best: Students celebrated Dr. Seuss Read Across America week with dress-up days, fun reading activities, and a new event this year: Pastries for Parents. A special time was reserved for parents and their children to read and enjoy pastries in their child’s classroom. It allowed parents to not only have some quiet time with their child but also interact with their peers, other parents, and their child’s teacher. (Pictured right, ECB student Maddex Albury reads to his mom Michaella Albury during Pastries for Parents)
Lahontan (main photo above): Students in Kirby Goetsch’s Kindergarten class had a blast celebrating Dr. Seuss’ Read Across America Week. They wore their crazy socks, came to school with crazy hair, even wore their whackiest clothes, and got to dress up as their favorite Dr. Seuss character. They worked on Dr. Seuss-related classroom learning activities, had a guest reader during library time, and even got to taste green eggs and ham. This is a week to honor Dr. Seuss and his contributions to making reading fun for young students.
NELC : This week was Read Across America week. Students at NELC celebrated with crazy hair day, crazy sock day, wacky Wednesday, and then to end the week they got to dress as their favorite character or wear red, white, and blue. For Octavia Merritt’s class, they packed in some fun Dr. Seuss-related learning as well. They learned about different Dr. Seuss books, rhyming words, and about green eggs and ham. (Pictured below, Octavia Merritt and Montana Koplin’s students showing off their crazy hair in celebration of Read Across America Week).
