A Gingerbread Boy Made His Way Across the Atlantic

Wesley's gingerbread boy first traveled to New York City which is home of Times Square, Broadway, and the One World Trade Center. Next, he flew across the Atlantic Ocean to Oxford, England. England is the country where Queen Elizabeth lives. Oxford is just outside of London. Oxford University is famous and lots of scenes from Harry Potter films were filmed there.

Second Quarter 100 Book Readers

Braylee, Brinleigh, Aiden, Callie H., Cali C., and Devin read 100 books during second quarter. They got to eat lunch with Mrs. Helus, our principal. Great job boys and girls! I know we will have even more students who reach this goal during third quarter.

Gingerbread Kids Return to School

 Both Daylin and Hunter's flat gingerbread boys traveled to our neighboring state, Kansas. Daylin's gingerbread taught us that Kansas is the Sunflower State, there is lots of flat land in Kansas, and you can go shopping at the Legends in the state of Kansas. It was very cold like here in Missouri during his travels.

Hunter's flat gingerbread visited the Kaw Mission, The Katy Depot, saw some deer, and witnessed The Geminid Meteor Shower in December.

Math Counting On Activity

The students were highly engaged as they searched for the ten frames hidden around the room. Next the boys and girls recorded the number to represent the objects on the ten frame. Finally, they wrote the next two numbers in the count sequence (counting on).
