5th Grade “Agucation!”
We loved this part of our day! Thank you Richland Community College for offering this program.





Enjoying Agucation!





5th Students had an opportunity to visit Richland Community College for “Agucation.” The purpose for this program is to teach our youth about farming!





Mr. Snively’s class is practicing coding on a few coding websites.



For our 4th quarter restorative lesson, Mrs. Rhodes is reading the book, "How Full is Your Bucket?" by Tom Rath and Mary Rechmeyer. The book discusses how to fill people's buckets by lifting them up, showing kindness, empathy, and respect. It also shows what happens to people's buckets when they are treated poorly or things aren't going well for them that day. That's being a "bucket dipper". After the book each class completed an activity. K &1st grade students determined if certain actions were "bucket fillers" or "bucket dippers". 2nd-5th grade students are writing a compliment note to each classmate and filling their bucket! Ask your student, "Have you filled any buckets today?".
