Mrs Nikki’s 2nd grade started their informational writing by creating their own stores and informing you what you could purchase at their store.
PBES does a school wide geography project a few times a year. Since the Chinese New year is next week, we have focused our study on China and the Chinese new year. Classes started out with videos about the celebrations and traditions and then branched into more specific research. Classes were asked to create a door display that showed 4 or more facts they learned, a map of some sort, writing, and something about the year of the horse. Classes were very creative with their displays. Judges from the community came in to judge doors and give feedback. Thank you Nola and Gary Parry and Amy Pontius for judging. The winners will be announced next week. 
The CHS Art and Pottery class paid a visit to our kindergarten classes over the last two weeks. This was such a great collaboration between our youngest and oldest kids. The kinder kids were so excited to use clay and design a sea monster with the art students. The art student interviewed the kids and will paint the monster before it’s fired and return it with a story.
