From Miss Dailey:
"Today, we practiced 2 syllable words by matching 1 syllable cards together to make words! The kids thought it was so nice, we did it twice!!"
The student lounge area is a great learning space for a small group!
From Mrs. Schreck:
"Each text in the next reading unit focuses on animal adaptations. Students participated in an activity today that helped them learn the meaning of adapting and adaptation. After reading a book about a chameleon changing colors, students created their own chameleons to camouflage around the classroom. This was a great way to introduce this new vocabulary word!"
Students reviewed the compare and contrast nonfiction text structure during whole group reading. As an introduction activity, students found similarities and differences about classmates in a real life venn diagram! Students used sticky notes to label each person with similarities and differences! Mrs. Schreck and Mrs. Hammers even joined in on the fun!

Varsity soccer has began Kaysinger conference tourney play. Play began Monday with a 0-6 loss to Sacred Heart.
Tuesday the Tigers faced Smithton. With several opportunities in the first half, the Tigers got a goal just over 15 minutes into the first half. Wyatt Crawford got thru the defense and pushed the ball past the keeper where Trent Sawyer was able to put the ball in the back of the net.
With just under 20 minutes remaining in the game Smithton managed to tie the game. Both teams pressed to break the tie in the final minutes with your Tigers coming up just short on several opportunities but the game remained tied.
The final tourney game will be Friday with a time TBD.

Mr. Tester's 8th graders have started their presentations for their North American Native Research Project. More students will present next week. These were the brave students who volunteered to go first!
Mr. Taylor's students have been studying ancient Mesopotamia. They recently learned about the Epic of Gilgamesh. On Friday, they tried their hand at cuneiform writing using clay and toothpicks. Mr. Taylor gave them a reference sheet of various symbols that stood for letter combinations. They worked hard on their messages!
Mr. Underwood's coding class was busy designing individual projects for the 3D printer. They are also designing some surprises we will share out at a later date! To be continued... 😉

From Mrs. White:
"My students visit the library every other week. Today while waiting for classmates to choose books and check out, Garrett decided to read a picture book to his classmates, just like their earlier years."
