Mrs. Beyer's Kindergarten class read the book "10 Apples Up on Top" by Dr. Seuss during their apple unit. They had so much fun experimenting if they could stack 10 "apples" on top of their friends' heads after reading!

Check out some activities that have been going on in Mr. Watkins' 4th grade class!
Molly is showcasing "Sweet, Sour, Service"! "Sweet, Sour, Service", is part of their closing meeting each day, and it consists of a reflection of the day. A "sweet" is something good that happened, a "sour" is something that happened that wasn't so good, and a "service" is an act of service/kindness they did to help someone. This lesson encourages students to share about their day and fosters help and service to our community. Molly shared her acts of service to the class!
Kian is showcasing the class science experiment about the Sun's energy! In this lesson, they conducted their own experiments using four different variables to see which one absorbed the sun's energy the greatest and which one did not. Kian was super excited to see that his hypothesis was supported!
Way to go, Trojans!

Last Friday, our Northwest Kindergartners filled the hallways and sidewalks with joy and excitement when they held their 2nd Annual Nursery Rhyme Olympics at NWE! Students and staff engaged in activities and events based on classic nursery rhymes, such as Jack Be Nimble, Little Bo Peep, and Hey Diddle Diddle. What a fun day!
Our 3rd graders had a great time in the STEM lab learning about flight. Their "Stop Rockets" really flew!

The JPS website has answers to your most common questions about what to expect in kindergarten.
