Let's see what Mrs. Arla Jo Kaimann, kindergarten teacher, had to say about her summer learning experience:
I was able to attend the Elevate your Classroom conference in Nashville this June and it was AMAZING! I learned so much new content on how to improve small group centers, morning meeting time and hands on math activities. I attended sessions about mindfulness in the classroom and the science of reading. Both of those sessions added to what I have already been doing in my classroom. There were 3 fantastical inspiring keynotes by Gerry Brooks, Ron Clark and Mr. Greg from the Kindergarten Smorgasbord. I'm hopeful to be able to attend next year.

Coach Johnson is amazing at kickball. Just ask the kids! Going outside to play every single day is something we do as long as the weather is safe. If we can't go outside, we do our best to find an unoccupied gym. Healthy bodies promote learning.




Mrs. Hudson and her students enjoyed making cloud dough this week at summer school. Look at these smiling faces!
