Who's Who Wednesday!
This is Becky Doyle, Starry's Behavior Strategist. Mrs. Doyle serves our students by helping put behavior plans for students into action to help our students succeed.
Fun fact about Mrs. Doyle: She is originally from Utah!
Here, students in Mrs. Vasser's class are playing Fishing for 10. They worked on combinations of 10 this week in math.
Students are working for the next school wide celebration!
This time, when each class earns 100 class points, they will put up a puzzle piece that will provide letters that spell out the next school wide reward!
Reminder! It's homecoming week!
As part of Kindergarten and 1st grade safety unit, the Marion Fire Department stopped by with a fire truck! They showed us ways to stay safe in case of an emergency, showed us their gear, and even showed us some of the tools on their fire truck.
These Kindergarten students are using the visible thinking routine of "Think, Pair, Share" during a class discussion. This routine encourages students to think about a topic or question and share their thoughts with a peer. Since all students are listening to and sharing ideas, this routine gives every student an opportunity to participate and encourages students to understand multiple perspectives.
See below for homecoming week dress up days. Homecoming week is next week, the 11th-15th.
Our very first Who's Who Wednesday staff member is Mrs. Rowell!
Mrs. Rowell is one of our special education teachers. You might recognize her as she has previously served as a member of our first grade team! This is Mrs. Rowell's 4th year at Starry and she LOVES coffee!
We are getting some really amazing book character pumpkins! Good job everyone!
