Augmented Reality Experience

Preschooler, Kindergarten, and First Grade had a different experience during Library this week.  Instead of listening to Mrs. Matthews read a book, they watched the book video of The Dot by Peter Reynolds.  A little girl, Vashti, who thinks she can’t draw is challenged by her art teacher to make a mark on the page and then sign it.  She goes on to make more and more dots.  The students then made their mark by  creating their own “dot” pictures.

The pictures were then turned into 3D creations through the Colar app (http://colarapp.com/). The app is free as well as several sheets to color.  Parents can then download the app and view their child’s pictures.

Here are some samples of the creations from Tuesday:

Preschool Valentine’s Day Fun Night, Monday February 10th

The preschool classes will be having a Valentine’s Day Fun Night on Monday, February 10th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm.  This will be a casual fun night filled with stations for the students to rotate through as they please.  Stations will range from craft projects to leisure book reading.  With the help of Mrs. Varvel the students will also be perfoming a few songs for family members.  All preschool family members and friends are invited to join in the fun!

4th Grade Reads to PreK

The fourth grade class has been working very hard on writing all this year. Normally we are focused on Narrative writing as that is what our state test will be on this year. Recently though we read a story called Cendrillon in our Reading text book. It is a Cinderella type story. We decided to write our very own Cinderella or Cinderfella fairy tales and share them with other classrooms. The 4th graders wrote stories, edited them, then made them into books which they then illustrated. We would like to thank the students and teachers that allowed us to come into their rooms and share our stories.

School Pictures Start Tomorrow. Please send pictures orders to school with them.
