THURS. December 5 You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch: Wear green today!

The SAVE Promise Club worked together to present a reenactment of "The Polar Express" today in representation of our leadership trait of the month, collaboration. Students focused on points of the book showing teamwork skills. There are sixty-two students in the Rockford SAVE Promise Club, each one playing a special role. All students in the club from each grade-level have worked very hard the last few week putting this together and working as a team to achieve their goals. This month's leadership goal is, "I can work with others effectively to reach my goal." Great job SAVE Promise on being amazing leaders and presenting so well!🐊🧑‍🎄🚂

We are thankful! Mrs. Day’s classes participated in a variety of activities centered around Thanksgiving. Third grade students learned about Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving proclamation. Students then aspired to be future presidents themselves, as they shared their own proclamations. Fourth and Fifth grade explored nouns and wrote essays displaying gratitude. Kindergarten students worked on fine motor skills and directionality by practicing left and right while creating turkeys, followed by reading a text from left to right to reinforce literacy concepts. Second grade wrote a poem of thanks, and drew conclusions about turkeys after reading a nonfiction text. First grade sequenced how to bake a turkey. They stuffed their turkeys with some interesting ingredients! 😄
