Monthly Attendance Challenges
Apples, Apples and more Apples!!
Kindergarten classes combined to learn about apples to celebrate "Apple Day"! We read about an apple orchard, ate apples of different colors, worked on fine motor skills, danced, and graphed our favorite apples! What a fun day :)
1st Graders
The first graders at Silver Lake had a blast on apple day! The students were engaged in many fun learning activities. We started our day off making Johnny Appleseed hats. We read and learned about John Chapman. Each student got to use an apple peeler. We used these apples to make applesauce. Our first graders also learned about the life cycle of apples. They got to taste a green, red and yellow apple. As we tasted our apples we came up with adjectives to describe them. We voted for our favorite apple! We finished the day by reading apple poems. We practiced our handwriting by copying an apple poem onto an apple shaped paper. It was a very busy learning day!
Traffic Reminders
If you are dropping of your students and stop in front of a fire hydrant, please be sure to not leave your vehicle. If you want to leave your vehicle, remember to think about safety and not block a hydrant.
Kdg parents dropping off and picking up their students. Avoid the bus area in the back. The bushes to the fence is the area we need to keep clear. The area in front of the field and after the fence is where we ask parents to park.
Playground Use Outside of School Hours
After school, once students have joined their parents/guardians and are in their care and under their supervision, students may be on the playground sets. Again, this is an issue with supervision and we do not want anything to happen to our little Black Tigers.
Parents with students picking up younger siblings (HS or MS students): please have conversations regarding how they should not be playing on the equipment when our day is still in session. I understand that older students get out earlier but that becomes a disruption to the end of the day here. I appreciate all of your help with this matter.
B.L.A.M.
New this year, students will be recognized for their B.L.A.M.-like qualities, choices, attitudes and actions. Below you can see those recognized in September.
It's not Goodbye, it's we'll see you later
