Vocabulary, spelling, and problem solving, OH MY!
Mrs. Guy 5th-grade ELA classes did a word ladder for their learning this week 🪜
Mr. Rinehart's 4th-grade Math classes spent some time this week reviewing their math facts. We love seeing those math brains working! ⚙️

Mrs. Garver's multi-age classroom had their first special of the year - art! They learned all about primary and secondary colors using a color wheel 🎨 thank you, Ms. Stricklen!
On Tuesday, Ms. Carpenter and Mrs. Garverick's 3rd grade class took their learning to the woods with a nature hike!
They brought their iPads to take pictures and a paper bag to collect some items along the way. The students will be working on a science project. They will create a poster or presentation to show what they found, ask questions, and research!
We can't wait to see what they come up with!🌳🪨

Let’s Go TIGERS! 🐅
** primary students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian at all times.
Our 3rd-grade staff spent their week helping our Class of '33 transition to our building. They sure did set the tone for fun learning for the year! 🐯
And just like that, week 1 is done ✅ we loved meeting our Tigers and can't wait for all the fun this year.
Check out our 5th-graders at this first Friday Club.
Students in each grade can earn extra recess each Friday for no missing assignments and following our behavioral expectations!

See, we take safety so seriously that our Superintendent Dr. Hartmann and GIS Principal Mrs. Heimann dressed up as traffic cones to help our morning drop-offs 🧡
As a reminder, our drop-off/pickup procedures have changed! A few notes regarding this: 🔁 If you are picking up/dropping off in the loop, you must be against the curb. 🚘 If you are parked, you must walk your student to and from the sidewalk. We will not allow students cross the parking lot by themselves. 🚸 we take safety very serious, and we thank you for following these procedures!
We are ready for you, Tigers! 🐅
