100th Day Of School

We had a great 100th Day of school!!! Check out video of our fun events for the day!

Celebrating Black History Month

This month we have been learning about Black History Month. We have spent some time learning about the extraordinary accomplishments of African-Americans like Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Barak Obama, Maya Angelou, Louis Armstrong, and more. We have also explore a plethera of African American literature!

To help us celebrate Black History Month, we had some guest readers visiting our school. We had the opportunity to hear Mr. G read the Leopards Drum and his friend Mr. K, played the African drums for us. We learned a greeting song, listened to some amazing drumming, and had the opportunity to see a cool mask. Thanks to Mr. G and Mr. K for sharing their talents and insights with us!
