Students in Miss Elmer's first grade class wrote about their favorite Dr. Seuss stories.
Ask your first grader about the new library goldfish, Otto, inspired by their reading of Gustav the Goldfish and A Fish out of Water by Dr. Seuss.
Some kindergarten classes fashioned Cat in the Hat style paper hats.
Celebrating 100 Days of School
Between several school delays, holidays, and snow days, it may have been difficult to track exactly when the 100th day of school fell. But that didn't stop our celebrating and learning dedicated to the number 100.Some kindergarten classes took advantage of a fun app that can age your appearance. The app aged the children to appear 100 and students wrote about what they would like to do when they are 100 years old.
Other classes drew pictures of themselves at age 100.
Miss Kolis' students were greeted with a 100 day banner and door decoration they could walk through.
Winter "Wonder"land was a Success!
For the second year, the Winter "Wonder"land event drew record crowds as parents, students, and staff discovered projects and toured classrooms.
Please enjoy this short video that showcases some of the great learning, field trips, school guests, and teamwork that went into this year's Winter "Wonder"land.
How to Help our Animal Friends
One of Stonehedge's fifth grade clubs, called Let's Unite, is organizing a 'Pennies for Paws' drive now through March 13. Students are asked to bring in spare change and donate to the SPCA. Collection jars are in classrooms. Second Grade Students Enjoy Lively Performance
Our second grade students were entertained by the Merry-Go-Round Youth Theatre as they performed selections from Just So Stories, written by Rudyard Kipling. Selections included How the Whale Got His Tiny Throat, The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo and How the First Letter Was Written. Students had the opportunity to learn about the stories prior to the actual performance by working with the actors to learn about the characters, setting, and text features. If laughter is any indication, the children loved the performance!
Stonehedge's own physical education teacher Steve Shoults is going bald! Well, more accurately, he's going to shave his head in an effort to raise money and awareness of childhood cancers. Mr. Shoults is collecting any size donation to go towards this great cause. Every student who makes a donation will be entered to win a drawing. The prize? The winner will get to shave Mr. Shoults' hair! Be on the lookout for more information.
