The first Study Island lunch parties of the year took place last Friday, January 23rd. These second and third grade students have worked really hard to accomplish their goals and challenge themselves to continue to grow academically. The Cardinal Station donates teas to our students who earn their weekly lunch parties with Ms. Ryan and Ms. McCleary. As one could imagine, these lunch parties continue to grow in size until the end of the school year as more and more students accomplish their academic goals of earning Study Island ribbons. Great work Garfield students!
In preparation for an afternoon game of Kansas Jeopardy, students in Mrs. Strode's second grade class reviewed the various symbols of Kansas they have been learning, by creating flip books. The various activities were in celebration of Kansas Day.
While outdoor recess is most often met with excitement by students, indoor recess during the coldest days of winter allows a time for board games, puzzles and other activities, there is often little time to enjoy at school with so much else going on.
In celebration of Kansas' 165th Birthday, students in Miss Perez's class made state flags, and colored the state seal they glued in the center. The seal for the 34th state symbolizes the state’s frontier history, agricultural roots, and westward expansion.
