Yesterday, SC staff played a game called “Peppermint in Your Pocket”. 5 staff members were given a peppermint, and all day if you passed someone in the hall, you asked “Do you have a peppermint in your pocket?” If they had the peppermint, they had to give it up! Whoever had one of the peppermints at the end of the day won a prize! It was a great way to get everyone out walking around and saying hi to new faces! The winners were: Sandy Congdon, Jaime Karnes, Lisa Henry, Jesse Hamms & Stephenie Smith. #BKP #SCCares #everyday

Consistent attendance builds stronger reading skills! Research shows that students who miss just 2 days of school a month are less likely to read at grade level by the end of 3rd grade. Make sure your student is in school each day they are not sick. #BKP #SCCARES #everyday

Over the past two weeks, Mrs. Pagano, Miss Miller, and Mrs. Schuster’s classes, had the pleasure of having Dr. Ralston come teach a lesson as well as be this week’s Mystery Monday Guest Reader. Dr. Ralston led a writing lesson on creating a Question Flood. Students were shown a picture from a selected book and asked to think about what they observed, then create sentence statements based on the photo. We then selected an example sentence and worked together to come up with questions related to the sentence, answering those questions to create a written paragraph.
Dr. Ralston also selected two books to read aloud to students as this Monday’s Mystery Reader. She read the book Snowmen at Christmas, which was the book she had used to display the picture for her lesson. She then treated students to a second read, one that is near and dear to her, Katie the Candy Cane Fairy. Students are currently learning about Figurative Language vs literal language used by authors to enhance the storyline in ELA, so we were able to write about and compare selected Figurative Language samples from these two books. She culminated her read-aloud with a special candy cane treat that was enjoyed and appreciated by all. Her time in the classroom has been very exciting for our students and for the teachers. We are very thankful for her engagement and passion for teaching and leading. Thank you, Dr. Ralston, for making 3rd grade so memorable for our students!
