Mrs. Lubbers is a valuable part of our Garfield family. Last week she visited many of our classes and taught the kids about the tradition of pomander balls. She also read them a story.











When Fastbridge testing was complete, students celebrated their hard work by getting to decorate their desk on a Friday afternoon. The decorations only stayed up a week but the students loved personalizing their space!







Mrs. Tierney was so excited this week to be able to eat lunch with former students who are now third graders. We had a great time reminiscing and catching up. What a treat spending time with these kids! I'm so proud of their accomplishments in third grade!



December was full of accomplishments, indoor recess fun and math activities that doubled as Christmas crafts. We also had a few birthdays thrown in as well that made for some yummy treats.









For our winter party the kids played board games and was able to rotate to a new game every 20 minutes. The sounds of laughter filled our classroom and my heart.

Buddy the Elf welcomed Garfield students to school today.



Students love to show what they know and teach their classmates. During math students often work problems on the smart board and explain now they got their answers.







Ms. Moon's crew loved seeing Santa today! Merry Christmas everyone!











Happy Holidays!


It has been confirmed by Santa, Mrs. Keal's class has made the nice list!

Today we were blessed with Mrs. Lubbers coming to our classroom and learning about the history of Pomander Balls. Then the kids got to decorate their own orange with cloves to take home. She also read a Christmas book while the kids were decorating their orange.
