Thankful for the AM Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast this morning!
In library we used legos to create some popular Thanksgiving symbols this week as we read books about being thankful.
Our AM Kindergarten students at Cleona Elementary School are busy preparing for their Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow. Mrs. Ayer's students are working collaboratively to create a festive tablecloth, and Mrs. Hower's classroom is making silverware holders.
Thank you – to the Paraprofessionals – Mrs. Bainbridge, Mrs. Horning, Mrs. Kleinfelter, Mrs. McFeaters, Mrs. Minnich and Mrs. Wagner. The time and dedication you commit to helping students succeed throughout every part of their day is essential. The time you spend working with students on skills, monitoring the lunch and recess, helping kids enter and leave the building and the work done to make this building shine is very appreciated.
Thank you – to the grade level teachers – Kindergarten – Mrs. Ayers, Mrs. Hower, Mrs. Stark and Mrs. Wolfe; 1st grade – Miss Brandt, Mrs. Buck, Miss Hauck, Mrs. Fuddy and Mrs. Long; 2nd grade – Miss Daub, Miss Ditzler, Mrs. Donnelly, Mrs. Yeager and Mrs. Zechman. You are the daily, constant, force in a student’s school day. Your ability to engage students, create safe and welcoming classrooms and academic rigor is no easy feat. Your goal to reach every student is appreciated beyond measure.
Our 2nd grade students shared what they are most grateful for and added it to our grateful tree ❤️
