Students in grades 4th through 6th had a lot of fun with an escape room in library class this week for their version of Stories by the Fireplace! Students worked hard to solve different types of puzzles in order to find codes and "escape." Congratulations to all of the groups that were able to solve all 5 puzzles and complete the escape room!
Students in grades kindergarten through 3rd had a lot of fun with Stories by the Fireplace in library class this week! There were many Christmas and winter stories shared. Some of the 2nd and 3rd graders even read their stories to their classmates!
The third grade students learned about the Icelandic tradition of a Book Flood that occurs each year on December 24. After learning about how people in Iceland gift books and read them on Christmas Eve, they had a chance to read holiday and winter-themed books by candlelight.
A big thank you goes out to everyone that made the Scholastic Book Fair at the elementary a success this week! Many students were able to walk away from the fair with books to read. Additionally, another big thank you goes out to everyone in the community that donated money for students to shop the fair! Thanks to all of the community support, 40 students were able to shop for books that would have otherwise left empty-handed!
Tis the season! What's cooking in Food and Nutrition? Updates to come!
The goal for this fair is for every student to be able to walk away from the book fair with a book! If you would like to contribute to the Book Fairy eWallet, please use this link. https://shop.scholastic.com/ewallet/fund?lang=en_US&walletId=363a058a-6eeb-4702-9aff-236554897827 All of the money donated will allow students to shop the fair that might not otherwise have been able to do so. (If donating online isn't your thing, you/your child can also donate at the book fair. Please just send a note to let us know that is what the money is for.)

4th grade students recently completed a STEM challenge with Mrs. Bohon. They were tasked with keeping a candy cane from breaking when dropped down the stairwell from the top floor to the bottom floor. They were able to use common materials to protect the candy cane and it had to fit in a brown paper bag. 4 groups were able to keep their candy canes from breaking!
