Who said learning was quiet!?

January 26, 2018

Well...it is an amazingly wonderful day of morning meeting at NVA when Mr. Klamm has to come down and tell everyone to quiet down because it is too loud!!  This year, the upper elementary grades (4th, 5th, and 6th) are meeting on Fridays for morning meeting as a group.  This month, our hero of the month is Benjamin Franklin.  To celebrate Benjamin Franklin’s inventive spirit, our students spent the morning collaborating in small groups.  Students were asked to use their critical thinking skills to model a machine invention with only their bodies - the rest of the students had to guess what that machine was.  All I can say is, WOW! - what fabulous, creative minds children have!  Students modeled a dishwasher, fireplace, airport metal detector, and even a UFO just to name a few.  In addition, to our inventions, students played a round of “Ships and Sailors,” a fun, LOUD, activity in quickly following directions. Please enjoy the pictures from these activities…









Also in January, Mrs. Perkins held the annual Hoop Shoot Competition.  Elementary winners at the school level included:  Celia Tellez, Abbigail Whittier, Sara Whittekiend, Hadley Hunt, Triston Dayley, and Tyrell Bolish.  Congratulations to those students!
