Last week's Grade 2 Thompson / Lopez Star of the Week was Levi! The Grade 3 Whitbeck / Lopez Star of the Week was Colton!
Levi participated in all activities, completed his work, waited his turn patiently, and was kind to everyone all week! Levi worked extremely hard in math and writing! He is doing a great job analyzing different types of graphs, measuring objects, answering word problems, and adding more details to his writing samples! Levi also did an extraordinary job performing at the concert. Way to go, Levi!
Colton demonstrated respect, responsibility and kindness all week. Colton also participated in all activities, completed his work, waited his turn patiently, and made safe choices. Colton has worked extremely hard restating, answering and citing when answering text based questions, and he has been doing an amazing job during math review even though he has not been feeling well! Thank you for always doing your best, Colton!
Congratulations, Levi and Colton ! Your teachers are so proud of you!!!!



The C-D Elementary Student Council completed their Domino Challenge with over 400 boxes collected! Way to go, Mustangs! Watch it here: https://youtu.be/TymKNUb7TB0

Mrs. Beare's 2nd-grade class has been studying the life cycle of seeds and plants in science and graphing in math class. They were given five mystery seeds and worked with partners to put them into different categories based on the type of seed they thought it was. Once the students put their seeds in categories, they recorded their information. The students created greenhouse bags to hang on the classroom window and planted the different seeds in the soil. The class then voted and collected data on which seed the students wanted to study further until the end of the school year. Students planted sunflower seeds in soil and paper towels to compare growth, charted their data, and will track the life cycle weekly through the end of the year. They're excited to watch their plants grow! 🌻📊
