Mr. Miller’s 8th grade Social Studies classes are learning about Colonial America. They have studied the religion, government, the founding fathers, and daily life of the 13 colonies. On Thursday students were able to enjoy the beautiful weather and try out some games similar to what colonial children would have played! They were able to draw similarities to modern day games and enjoyed learning how the games have evolved over time. It was a great day!

Our fourth graders celebrated doing their Tiger best with the first Gold Apple Award ceremony of the school year! Good Apple Awards are given to students who stay remain on green on their color chart each day. This means that students have homework done and turned in on time, assignment books and Friday folders are always signed and there are no behavior issues. Students who have less than four ‘clip downs’ may also participate in the Good Apple ceremony activity. This month our fourth graders really did awesome because ALL were able to participate! Awesome job to all of our kiddos, and their adults who encourage them to be great each day!
