Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We went to P.E. We played at stations. There were 8 stations. One of the stations was jump rope. One was hula hooping. We had to throw balls into a basket. You jumped to see how high you could go. It was fun. (Hayden, Rose, Caroline, Rylan, and James)

We had morning meeting. (Azayla)

We had Fundations. We did tapping. (Aiden and Adalynn)

We did the calendar. (Abby)

We did project. We stretched out cotton balls to make it look like something. They were like clouds. (Parker)

We did writing. We talked about what we want to teach kids how to do. (Kent) We will be writing “How To” books!

Adalynn was the teacher assistant. (Will C.)

We did math. There was one container with 10 cubes and we used it to help us guess how many cubes were in the other one. It was called estimation. (Aster)

We read a book today. It was called It Looked Like Spilt Milk. (Xander)

Message from Mr. Gwinner…

As you may have heard, we are planning a project that will involve every student at Mill Creek painting a rock.  The painted rocks will be gathered together in a location to be determined on the school grounds—to create a large display celebrating the power of teamwork.  We will paint these rocks during art class but we are asking students to bring rocks to school for the project.  Students should bring 2-5 rocks that would be good to paint on.  Ideally, these rocks should be smooth (but not polished), round, and lightly colored.  Rocks should be small enough to easily hold in the palm of one hand, but not so small as to be easily held between two fingers.

Rocks will get painted next week in art class!!
