Kings news flash

February and the beginning of March are always interesting. Kindergarten and First Grade enjoyed learning about the Presidents, the origins of Valentines Day, the Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day and they celebrated the 100th day of school. The Dragon Parade presented by Mrs. Rosenblum’s class was especially fun for many classes to participate in. We are all looking forward to reading about leprechauns and the tricks they play.

First Grade incorporated the Olympics theme into learning. PIE 1-2 focused on geometry. Second Grade classes are reading books in preparation for the Reader’s Theatre they will be performing. They also did research projects comparing penguins and polar bears. The problem solving strategies they are learning in the math unit of geometry and fractions are being integrated with language arts projects.

Third grade is getting into shapes big time! The story of “The Greedy Triangle” energized their study in geometry, while “Energy in Our World” enhanced their study of science.

Fourth and Fifth Graders are busy with book reports and learning about the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Fourth Graders also made posters for the 2nd grade instructing them on health and safety.

We have just kicked off our “Parents as Reading Partners” program and
are excited about “Going for the Gold” as we read every day with family and friends. We also had fun celebrating P.A.R.P’s “Crazy Sock Day” and “Crazy Shirt Day”. Student Council collected bingo prize gifts for the senior citizens at Shervier Pavilion and will soon sponsor a food drive. The PTA Family Dance Night and Family Ski and Snowboard Night were enjoyed by many!
