It's the little things that help...



Here at PG, we are trying to do the little things that can make a difference...

*We're collecting Box Tops for Education! (Contest ends on Thursday, but you can continue to bring them in!) These help out school buy some fun extras!

*In conjunction with the Grange, we're collecting pop can tabs to help their project to help the hearing impaired. Collect them all year!

*We're trying out a recycling project: a pumpkin mosaic. Thanks for all the great snack bags!

We're working on vocabulary skills in reading class! Check out the game links for "Synonym Toast" and "Duck Hunt Context Clues" on the side links to work on your skills!
Also welcome to Miss McCallin, a pre-student teacher from Mount Union, who is joining us for the fall!

FUN Friday!



We had a FUN Friday this past week. It was Constitution Day so we dressed in red, white, and blue. Our caterpillars began changing in front of our eyes! The chrysalis' are beginning to form!
Our class met their goal of every student doing their homework that week (it's been a struggle the prior 2 weeks!). We celebrated by making chocolate fondue sauce after we finished reading "The History of Chocolate." What fun!

New creatures!


We've got some new creature buddies taking up habitat in our classroom! Last Friday, our painted lady caterpillars arrived! We are excited to watch their life-cycle first-hand and watch them change everyday! Science in GREAT!

Tech Fun!
