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.
Happy 165th Birthday, Kansas!
Gwen and Ms. Moon's spirit week fun on twin day!!

Oh the weather outside was frightful... but the hot chocolate was so delightful. What a nice treat on such a cold day.
We are working to strengthen our hands and build dexterity and Play-Doh is a fun way to do it! Second grade is hard work but also a lot of fun!
No decision has been made about the status of school on Monday, but if you've wondered what factors into the decision to cancel school due to winter weather, there are several variables that are considered. Our goal is to make the decision no later than 6 a.m., however conditions may warrant making the decision the night before.
All activities for Saturday and Sunday have been cancelled due to the anticipated weather conditions. Athletic activities scheduled for Friday evening will continue as scheduled.
No decision has been made about the status of school on Monday. We will monitor the weather throughout the weekend and make a decision based on conditions.
As a reminder, if you haven’t been contacted by phone, text and/or email by 6 a.m., school is in session. Please make sure your contact information is correct in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal to receive notifications. If you need assistance, please contact your school.
