Mrs. Carlson’s 5th graders attended the annual Metric System Masquerade Ball! These students have worked hard the past two weeks on converting measurements in both the customary and metric system. Way to dig into learning, kiddos! #digintolearning 📏

Last Friday we had some Friendship Awards that were given by our ELL and RTI teachers. There was so much going on with celebrations for the 120th day as well as Valentine's Day, that we wanted to give some space on our website to those celebrations. Today is a quieter day so, here are the Friendship Award winners from last Friday. We are very proud of them!

Today we want to give a HUGE shoutout to our amazing SRO, Officer Mike! 👮‍♂️💙 Officer Mike is truly the absolute best. He works hard every single day to keep our school safe, and he does it all with a smile on his face. Our students adore him because he doesn’t just protect our campus he builds relationships, gives high-fives, listens to their stories, and makes them feel important. He shows up for our kids in so many ways, and we are beyond thankful for his dedication, kindness, and heart for our school family. We are blessed to have someone who cares so deeply about our students and staff. Thank you, Officer Mike, for loving our kids and keeping us safe. We appreciate you more than you know! 💙👏

In Chapter 20, the final chapter, Mr. and Mrs. Popper consider their options for the penguins. Mr. Popper has to decide if going to Hollywood or giving them to Admiral Drake to live in a colder, healthier climate would be better for the penguins’ sake. What will he do? What would you do if you were faced with a choice like this? Listen carefully as Mrs. Amburn reads the last chapter in English https://youtu.be/2IQHKmK33N0 and Mrs. Howell reads it in Spanish https://youtu.be/KGyOsXC7fO0.

We hope you have been warm and enjoyed another day in the snow. We only have two more chapters after today! In chapter 18, Spring arrives, and the warm weather begins to affect the penguins. They become restless. Do you know what that means? What makes you restless?

You can always pause the video if it is moving too fast. Hopefully for the last two chapters we will have guest readers! Tomorrow, Mrs. Amburn will read the questions for Chapters 17 and 18!

We have loved seeing all the snow pictures you have posted. Some of you looked like penguins while you were out playing in the snow. You will get another day to do that tomorrow! Today, Chapter 17 is next in the Popper novel. The penguin act becomes more popular! All the penguins charm the audiences and become well known, while the Poppers earn good money. This is a wonderful way for the Poppers to help pay the bills. Ms. Isabel will be reading the English version https://youtu.be/3c-2aTUqddo, and we have another presentation of the text in Spanish. https://youtu.be/9ywXYcT2sjUhttps://youtu.be/9ywXYcT2sjU We hope to have a few Spanish readers for the next three chapters. Enjoy the story, and the snow!

Mrs. Petty will read to you in English today. https://youtu.be/mF8Vfh5dPzE We are getting some more Spanish readers for you, however, today you will get to read page 16 in Spanish to yourself or your family! https://youtu.be/CO92hgkng50
