Mrs. McCallister's 3rd graders at Alderson Elementary studied Halloween and Day of the Dead! Their study included reading about each celebration , and creating Venn diagrams to compare and contrast. The final part of the study was to create their own Day of the Dead skeleton and then celebrate the day with the movie Coco and an offrenda which included chips with salsa, queso or guacamole and of course cupcakes with sugar skulls!! The study will continue next week with opinion writing where they get to choose their favorite celebration and tell why.
Daylight saving time will end on Sunday, November 5. Please remember to turn your clocks back one hour.
Mrs. Bryant’s kindergarten dissected a pumpkin today! Students learned about the different parts of the pumpkin to help them complete a labeling activity in their science journal. They ended the activity with a sick pumpkin! 🎃🫣

It’s Red Ribbon Week! This year’s theme is Be Kind To Your Mind. Live Drug Free.
The theme is a reminder that by staying drug-free, you are sending a message to yourself and others about how much you value yourself, your overall health, your community, and your future. One thing’s for sure...by making healthy choices, like staying drug free, you are much more likely to achieve your goals. So aim for the stars! We believe in you. #RedRibbonWeek
