| Kindergarten Studies Polar Bears and Penguins! | | Brrr! It's Cold Outside! Kindergarten has been studying polar animals. We have learned many interesting facts about polar bears and how they stay warm. We have also been learning about the 17 varieties of penguins and where they live. Kindergarten students have made penguins from toilet paper tubes (recycling) and we are also creating penguins from paper tracings of our own bodies. We have created polar bears from cotton balls and Q-tips. Though polar bears and penguins do not live together, we have created frozen worlds for them to share using styrofoam (recycling). Each Kindergarten student will have one penguin type to study for homework and report on. We will be penguin experts when we are done! | |
| Fourth Grade Begins Using Google Docs | | Fourth Grade is taking part with the Middle School in establishing a Google Doc account through the Barnesville School web address. Our hope for both classes is that each student will type their homework right into the Google Docs account for Word Processing (Powerpoint/Excel/Calendar), which instantly saves the document. Then there will be less problems getting it back to class. The children can print it out, or come to school and do so. In fourth grade, we are trying to find more ways to make each child personally responsible for their homework and be more organized in their approach. The class will carry this Google account all through their Middle School experience. We ask parents to take a look at the new account next week and become familiar with what your child is experiencing. Thanks for your help in this new area of technology. | |
| 8th Grade Fundraisers | | Hot Dog Lunch There will be a hot dog lunch on February 11th. For $5 your child will get a hot dog, chips, cookie, and fruit. The sale will benefit the 8th grade trip. As always, your support is greatly appreciated! Please click here to download the order form. Valentine's Day Flowers Order exceptionally
beautiful and high quality Valentine’s Day floral arrangements! You can also add a Teddy Bear or Chocolates
(or both) to each arrangement. All proceeds will be used to offset costs
associated with the 8th Grade class trip to New York City this coming spring. Please click here to download the order form. | |
