Math Measurement

Here are some pictures taken from a math journal lesson on measurement.

Birthday Celebrations

Once a month, we celebrate the children's birthdays for that month. Here are some pictures of one of those birthday celebrations.

Love that Bicycle Helmet

We are always proud of our first graders who wear their bicycle helmets to school. Too often, we see children riding to school without any helmet. As we drive on our way to school, we are always checking to be sure our students are complying with the law. We wanted to include this picture of Seanna's adorable helmet.

Southern Belles

Mrs. Jacobsen and Ms. Payne like to have the children read with different expressions and voices. One of our favorite characters to use in class is Southern Belles. Ms. Payne portrays Miss Belle, our true Southern Belle. Mrs. Jacobsen is the Yankee pretending to be a Southerner named Miss Scarlett. Here is a picture of Miss Belle (Ms. Payne complete with curls).

All Dressed Up and Somewhere to Go

Mr. Patrick Gingras, our senior teacher intern was dressed up to receive an award from his college, Daytona State College. He received an award from the Education Department.

25 Point Reading Counts Club

Students read selected stories and then take comprehension tests on what they read. If they pass their test with 80% or better, they earn points. The harder the book, the more points it is worth. Every student must earn 1pt. a week. To challenge students, Ms. Matilla, the media specialist offers incentives. At 25 points, the children earn a treat and are entered into the club for an end of the year party. The students pictured have made it into that initial club.
