#KonaIce #SweetFriday #TreatYourself #CoolDown

In Mrs. Conaway’s class, students are learning how to write step-by-step directions, just like in expository texts. To practice, we used a fun and tasty recipe! The class followed each step in order to make ‘Pie-in-a-Cup,’ and everyone enjoyed their sweet treat!

✨ Mrs. Sheffer’s second graders are gearing up to begin reading and writing expository texts! 📚✏️

This short week, we kicked things off by exploring the “how-to” style of expository writing. Students practiced sequencing and adding important details… all while making pie in a cup! 🥧🎉

📚 Book Fair is Next Week!

📚✨ What’s in the bag?! ✨📚

This week, Mrs. Evans’s students sharpened their inferencing skills with a hands-on mystery challenge! 👀👜 Using only their sense of touch and their prior knowledge, students had to guess the hidden items inside the bag.

The room was full of excitement, teamwork, and some pretty incredible guesses! 🔍💡 Activities like this make learning fun while helping students think critically and use context clues in new ways.

🌪️ Our 2nd graders dove into nonfiction this week with the text Hurricanes! They explored text features, learned their purposes, and went on a “Text Feature Hunt” to spot them in action. 📚✨ Students especially enjoyed this text because they could all relate to it after experiencing Hurricane Helene last year. 💡

✨ A huge THANK YOU to Dairy Queen of Lake Park for sponsoring a sweet treat for our staff! 🍦💙 During collaborative planning, each team member got to enjoy a classic Dilly Bar — the perfect pick-me-up. We’re so grateful for your support! 🙌 #DQ #StaffAppreciation #CommunitySupport

In Pre-K, we have learned so much about kindness, friendships and what it takes to be a good friend this week by making friendships bracelets & today we made our very own “friendship recipe” using all the lucky charms🤪👯💙

Today was a BLUE day! 💙💙 💙 Not because we're sad, but because our kindergarteners are joyfully celebrating color days! What color do you think we should celebrate next? Share your thoughts! 🌈✨

📚✨ Today was an exciting day for our 4th graders in Mrs. Evans’s class! Students attended orientation in the Media Center, where they learned about the library's expectations, how to check out books, and even created their own bookmarks. 🤩✂️📖

The highlight of the day was receiving their library cards and checking out their very first books of the year. The smiles on their faces said it all — a new year of reading adventures has officially begun! 💛 #ReadersAreLeaders #LPEFamily #TheVikingWay
