3rd Grade - Mrs. Mann Third grade readers are working hard to analyze and respond to text. In this lesson, they looked closely at images to determine how they support the central idea. Reading is an active process. We are learning what questions to ask as we read. | 3rd Grade - Mrs. Street These readers are also "digging deep" to make inferences about what they have read. How can we ask questions about characters, the author's purpose, writing structure, and events to better understand the story? | 4th Grade - Mrs. Clark Have you heard of the Mariana Trench? Students read a story about this oceanic trench located in the western Pacific Ocean. They learned about nonfiction text structures and features as they read this text. Did you know that the Mariana Trench is deeper than Mt. Everest is tall? WOW - it is amazing what we can learn when we read! |

4th Grade Celebration
Calling all 4th grade parents!
We need your help with the planning process of the
4th grade end of the year celebration!
The celebration is scheduled for Wednesday, May 24th.
We would love to hear your creative thoughts on different fun and engaging activities for the students to participate in during the celebration. PTO will be hosting a Zoom call on Thursday, March 2nd at 6:30 PM to start brainstorming ideas and fun activities for the 4th grade students. We want to make this an exciting day for the students to celebrate the end of their time with NBE friends and staff. If you are interested in participating, please email Karyn Havens at karynhavens18@gmail.com for the zoom link.
Nurses Note
The NBE nurse is in need of small and medium, boys and girls pants. If you have any gently used pants at home and could donate them, that would be very much appreciated.
Also, please wash and return any clothes that your child may have borrowed from the nurses office this year.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
Students continued the Second Step Elementary digital program, a researched-based social-emotional learning program designed to improve children’s social-emotional skills. Second Step skills and concepts are designed to help children both in and out of school.
