Field Day!

We ended the school year by having a great time at field day!  Here are some pictures of the different events we completed!  This will also be the final post of the school year.  I hope you have enjoyed seeing some of the different things your child has been doing at school!  Have a wonderful summer!!!!

 **The above picture was not during field day.  As a reward for all of the positive behavior students at W.E. showed this year, Mrs. Tjaden surprised students with an inflatable obstacle course.  After all of the students had gone through the obstacle course two times, Mr. Shumaker and I raced against each other.  Can you guess who won...???  ME!  :)

Reading with our Kindergarten Buddies!

Throughout the month of May we have been celebrating a successful school year by receiving different surprises each day.  This week one of our surprises included going to Ms. Kragel's room to read with some kindergarten students.  We LOVED reading with them!

Monument Research and Math Fun with I-PODS!!!!

As we count down the last few days of school, we are staying busy with many fun activities!

During social studies we have been researching different national monuments.  We had the opportunity to go to the computer lab and takes notes from different websites.  After researching, we started creating posters to share the fun facts we learned!  Here are some pictures to show you how hard we are working on our projects! 
**Reminder:  If your child chose to create a model of a monument, it is due Friday, May 27th!**






We recently received two carts of I-PODS from our PTO!  (Thanks W.E PTO!)  During our math block, we had the opportunity to play Everyday Math games on the I-POD.  I couldn't believe there was actually an app for Everday Math!  Mrs.  Magee (technology teacher) has done a wonderful job adding educational apps for students to use!  The following pictures show students playing the game Baseball Multiplication!
