Dolly is my sunshine student this week!! She is kind to everyone!! Keep shining bright!!


We hope to see you on Wednesday!!


Three more members of Team Tierney reached their September AR goal! We are rocking right along!




Our class has received 25 positive reports. To celebrate we enjoyed our lunch and recess in the park.











This goal getter not only hit 25 AR points today (half of the second grade yearly goal) but he also completed subtraction in Xtra Math and moved on to multiplication. What a fantastic accomplishment!



This young lady passed all of her addition facts in Xtra Math today. She has been working hard and showing perseverance to meet this goal!


This week in counseling class, we practiced some mindfulness activities while focusing our breathing and calming our bodies through mindful body poses.









Members of the C.A.M.P. (Cultural Alliance & Multiracial Pact) Club visited third grade students at Garfield today. Two foreign exchange students shared about their respective countries, Denmark and Germany. Another student shared about her Hispanic and Latino culture and yet another shared information about Japan, which is of interest to her. The third graders learned what the club is about, what students do as members and how they can join once they are in middle school and high school.

Our story this week was about a boy who teaches his class how to make a dream catcher. For a little bit of Friday fun,
students wrote about their dreams and made a dream catcher.





September 30th through October 4th is Spirit Week.

Some Garfield se3cond grade students earned the reward of play time in the park Friday for all their hard work and good behavior all week. While most sought out the playground equipment, a small group engaged in a little football fun. Work hard, play hard. Go Vikes!


There will be no school on Monday, September 23 for staff professional development.


We learned about dream catchers and the history of them, so of course we needed to create our own dream catchers and put one dream or goal they had on it to help it come true.










Brooklynn is my SUNSHINE STUDENT this week!! She comes to school every day, works hard, and kind to everyone!!


For the last two Fridays the kids have learned about the constitution, the jobs in the court rooms and all 3 of our government branches. Tuesday they got to watch a mock court case on zoom and be the jury. They did great!!!






Mrs. Strode's class is working great together on their partner reading to help each other build their reading skills.
