Memorial School’s DOJO Store is Open for Business!
Today was Memorial School’s DOJO Store, where students had the opportunity to spend the points they earned by being respectful, responsible, and safe. Through their positive behavior, students accumulate DOJO points, which they can use to shop at the store as a reward for their efforts.
Here’s a look at Ms. Jett’s class enjoying their shopping experience and celebrating their hard work! Keep up the great behavior, everyone! 🎉🛍️
Mrs. Haselhorst’s class had some special reading buddies join them today! The students enjoyed cozying up with their favorite plush pals while diving into some exciting books. This fun and engaging activity made reading time even more special, as the students practiced their reading skills alongside their soft, cuddly companions. It was a fantastic way to combine literacy and a little extra fun in the classroom!

Here’s a blurb about Mrs. Klingler's second-grade pumpkin investigation:
Mrs. Klingler's second-grade class recently embarked on an exciting investigation all about pumpkins! The students explored the inside and outside of pumpkins, measuring their height, counting the seeds, and even predicting how many lines they would find. Through hands-on activities and scientific inquiry, the students learned fun facts about pumpkins while practicing their observation and measurement skills. This festive fall activity brought learning to life as the students made connections between science and the world around them!

Mrs. Kent's kindergarten working on their Creepy Carrots activities with Mrs. Thomas and Ms. Reiser.
Mrs. Thomas and Ms. Reiser taught a lesson using the book Creepy Carrots, where students learned labeling and then used toothpicks and pool noodles to construct a fence around a carrot patch. This fun activity combined literacy and STEM, promoting creativity and problem-solving skills. Here is Mrs. Rexroad's kindergarten class working on their fences.
Mrs. Thomas, our instructional coach, has been busy working with K-4 students, helping them develop a variety of important skills. Here she is in Miss Bortmess's 2nd-grade class, introducing students to Epic as they prepare for their reading centers. Along with teaching the students how to navigate the platform, Mrs. Thomas is also guiding them through an engaging lesson on schema, helping them connect new ideas to what they already know—a key skill for deepening their reading comprehension!
First graders celebrated DOT Day by reading The Dot, with each teacher leading a different activity centered around the story’s theme of creativity and self-expression. Students rotated between classrooms, experiencing various lessons and activities from each teacher. These photos capture Mrs. Lively and Ms. Reiser's activity, where students used augmented reality (AR) to bring their dots to life, adding an exciting tech twist to this creative celebration.
More of 1st grade Dot Day!
Today, 5th graders from Ms. McChristy and Ms. Laker's classes joined the 2nd graders from Mrs. Cope's and Mrs. Vickers' classes at North for a special reading activity. We call them '5th Grade Buddies,' and they teamed up to share stories and foster a love of reading across grade levels. It was a wonderful opportunity for older students to mentor their younger peers while building strong connections through literacy.

Ms. Reiser visited all the 2nd-grade classrooms last week to explore the app Quiver and its augmented reality features. Using the app, students were able to transform 2D pictures into interactive 3D images. They could manipulate the 3D objects and engage with them through various actions, providing a hands-on experience with augmented reality technology.
1st Grade was surprised with 4 caterpillars today! We will observe them for the next few weeks and can’t wait to watch them turn from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly!
