Word of the Week

This week our class will be presenting the words of the week to the entire school. The words we chose were:

collapse: to fall down due to weakness
avoid: to stay away from a person, place or thing

The students will be presenting the words in front of the entire school Tuesday-Friday in various methods. Feel free to come watch the words of the week in the mornings at 7:55. The keynote presentation and movie will also be posted on the Newell webpage for everyone to watch!!

Kindergarten Buddies!

Reading buddies are so much fun! The 2nd graders were matched with a kindergarten friend from Mrs. Engel's class. The first time together they got to know each other by making a team turkey. The future dates the 2nd grade students will read to their buddy; however, by the end of the year the kindergartners will start reading to them. It is so fun to watch the older kids be role models and teachers to the younger ones in helping them learn to read.
