This week the students worked on their Ipads reinforcing addition and subtraction, reading, and spelling skills. The apps we used are Pet Bingo (math) and ABC Sentence (reading).
The students had a blast creating a human number line! We practiced "hopping" with addition and subtraction!
Click here to view the PreK and Kindergarten video: Murphy's Giving Market Food Drive
Murphy’s Giving Market was founded by a HCA family in an effort to stomp out food insecurities within the communities in which it serves. They believe that everyone has the right to sufficient, safe and healthy food with options and that people should be served with dignity and respect and treated as our friends, shopping at the free market with a choice and a voice.
For our drive, Pre-K and Kindergarten will be collecting canned goods, boxed items (ex.: pasta, cereal, rice, mac and cheese), and especially individually packaged children's snack items (ex.: granola bars, fruit snacks, cookies, goldfish crackers, individual cereal boxes).
The 7th grade will also be collecting gently used adult and children's clothing for any season.
We will have boxes in school to collect the items. The drive will run from February 1-23.
