🇺🇸 This morning in Mrs. Kali’s class we stopped to take a moment to discuss the significance of 9/11. I shared my own accounts of that day and was honored to have our foster grandparent, Mrs. Karen, speak about her experience that day as well. We took a moment of silence to remember the fallen and the sacrifices that are made for us each day.
📝 Students have also been working hard on an opinion essay over our Arkansas Unit. They were challenged to write a three paragraph essay and so far have completed the introduction and body paragraphs. We will be working on the conclusion tomorrow. I have been so impressed with their writing and the details they have wanted to share!
📚Finally, we finished our day with a new book that was graciously donated to each student by one of our parents! I’m so appreciative of the all the parents support we recieve at our school and how much they give to our kids so each of them can be supported and successful. Thank you so much!

After classroom instruction, students utilized the STEM lab to create dioramas that accurately portrayed what a scene from the Dust Bowl era would have looked like. They did a great job collaborating with one another and using available resources to make some really creative pieces!
