Patriotic Week Part 2

At the end of the week we had the privilege of honoring our local veterans through song.  It was a wonderful opportunity for students to show our veterans how much their sacrifice has meant.   Here are a few pictures of the event.

Patriotic Week

This week was full of opportunities to teach students about what it means to be an American.  First, on Tuesday we ran an election in Learning Lane to decide our reward for our next R.O.C.K. Star chart.  Students were asked to give their name and show their ID (library card).  They then were given a ballot with the four choices that were decided the previous week by the different classes in Learning Lane.  The choices were movie and popcorn, cooking, stuffy day, or game day.  Later in the day the ballots were counted and Mrs. Peavy was invited to share out on the results, it was a very exciting experience for everyone!
