Mrs Olson's class uses Pass the Spider to greet each other during morning meeting. They say 'good morning' to each other, then, using only one hand and a straw, they pass the spider ring to the person they greeted. By the end of the greeting, the spider has been passed all the way around the circle! It takes teamwork, fine motor skills, and perseverance!

Our 1st graders had a fun fall adventure at the school pumpkin patch! Each student got to pick their very own pumpkin, and will spend the week diving into pumpkin-themed reading and math activities back in the classroom. They will have the chance to decorate their pumpkins and bring them home later this week to enjoy with their families. It was a hands-on, seasonal way to combine learning with creativity—and smiles all around!
