Our spelling hoop has been a big hit again this year. If they pass the spelling pre-test on Wednesday they earn a shot at the hoop. Then, if they pass the bonus test on Thursday they earn another shot. Students still get a chance to pass the final test on Friday to earn a shot also. I have had so many students up to the spelling hoop this year. They sure are working hard on their words! Below is a picture of Geneva shooting. If they make the shot, they get to choose a prize from the treasure chest.
Four students completed the summer reading challenge. They each recieved a certificate and a pencil for their hard work! Way to go! The hard work and effort you do over the summer is spectacular!
We are really enjoying the iPads! One of our favorite apps to play is math slide. Students compete against each other on math facts and the fastest one to slide all their tiles to the middle wins. I see some great participation when they are working with the ipads. It is a great learning tool!
Noah's dad, Cody came to share fire safety with all the classes in Newfolden Elementary. It was very informational and the students loved it. He showed us some of the equipment they use and the safety tools we need if there was ever a fire. He gave all the students a homework assignment to visit with their parents and draw out a home fire escape plan. They sure put a lot of detail into this assignment and they came back great!
Two thank you letters for Cody!
We have so much more to share and it will be coming soon!
