The preschool class is having a wonderful time. The preschool class loves the computer and plays lots of CD ROM’s. Franklin and Richard Scary games are their favorite. They also like printing pictures from the digital camera of themselves. They are making cards from Kid Pix. They will be learning how to say the alphabet and their numbers.

The children in Kindergarten are learning many basic skills and things about the great outdoors. They’re learning how to pronounce their letters and recognize specific sounds. To enhance their outdoor studies, they will visit an aquarium soon and learn about the weather. They are currently learning about outer space, bears, and penguins.

The First grade is now learning about short vowels, odd & even numbers, reading strategies, the number grid, and your schema. (that means what you know about something). They are also learning about adding to your schema, properties, reading and families. The First  grade is going on many great field trips. This year, they are going to the farm. They will also be seeing an Eric Carle show at the State Theater. The First graders are presently reading weather books, cloud books, and independent reading books. And most of all, as always, the First grade are reading their short vowel books. In other subjects besides reading and ILA, the 1^st graders have been learning how to handle a bully and the 6 pillars of character. They also have been talking about respect and how to treat others the way you want to be treated. As you can see, 1^st grade is doing a lot of fun activities.
