Mrs. Johnson’s first graders have been very busy receiving Valentines from all around the world! We started with Mrs. Johnson putting out a request for Valentines from people using social media. The goal was to get a valentine from all 50 states.
First grade is definitely feeling the love on this Valentine’s Day! Plus, we are definitely learning our 50 states and their locations on the map! It really makes our learning fun!

STEAM / Connection Time Event held last Friday
Once a month, students in grades K-6 meet in small groups to complete community building activities with an adult mentor. Last Friday, February 2nd we celebrated the 100th day of school. Students worked together to list the many reasons why we LOVE school, notice the hearts picture. Then students complete a 100th day activity.
Some groups used legos, cups, magnet tiles to build structures of all sorts. While Mr. Omdahl's group completed a 100 day basket challenge. Miss Bartholomay's chemistry class assists with the events, too. Nice work students and mentors!
