Kings news flash

Kindergarteners and First Graders have been learning about winter, animals, and Dr. Martin Luther King. Although there was not much snow, it has not stopped them reading and writing about snowmen. Now that colder weather is here, experimenting about the properties of ice has proven to be fun and interesting.

It is always great to walk down the hall and smell the baked goods that the PIE 1-2 classes prepare for their snack. They have also been studying the solar system. Designing their own constellations and writing stories to accompany them is exposing some very creative writing!

Second Graders were inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. They are
reading “Lily and Miss Liberty”, learning about symbols of hope, freedom, patriotism, and are preparing for a debate.

Third Graders are learning about state, local, and national government. Reading and writing incredible stories are fun too!

P.I.E. 3-4 was busy learning about the
Iroquois Indians. They enriched their science lessons about the solar system by writing stories to go with the constellations.

Fourth Graders appear to be future physicians. They were excited to learn about the circulatory, nervous and digestive systems.

The entire Fifth Grade is studying about the “wild west” and it will culminate with an incredible “Pioneer Day” that includes story telling, gold digging, square dancing, games of old, and pioneer foods. The western journals, leather bound diaries, tall tales, and observing different cells through a microscope were only part of their busy month.

School starts early at Kings. There are always children here before school for Reading/Writing club, Intramurals, Computer Club and French club. After school there are Odyssey of the Mind, Drama Club, and Art Club. The Student Council has been busy too! To date, they have collected food for the local Food Pantry, Toys for Tots, almost $1800 for Haiti Relief, and Valentines Day cards for our troops. The PTA has hosted Family Bingo, Family Dance Night, and an amazingly successful Science Fair. You should have seen the walls covered with dinosaur facts!
