First Day of First Grade!

We had a happy, hot first day of school.  Our popsicle party cooled us off.

While enjoying our pops, we found a couple of frogs, who knew where to hang out, the shade!

We finished up with a cool, calm ending to our day.  We talked about our team name, played with real Kaleidoscopes and drew our own.

Soil scientists

We have been experimenting with clay, sand and humus.  Ask us about our discoveries.  We may be able to give some good gardening advice this summer.

Field Day

Field day fun with all of the Kindergarten, first and second grade students at SCS.  Thank you parent volunteers for making this event possible!!

Spirit Week

From Hawaiian clothing to wacky hair, we had fun during our last weeks of school!

2nd grade tech teachers

The 2nd grade students on Kaleidoscope have been helping the 1st grade students publish books on the app Book Creator.  The 2nd graders loved sharing their knowledge of creating an electronic book.  They found out the challenges and rewards of being good teachers. They patiently explained how to use the app without taking over control of the iPad.  Notice in the pictures how they are working so hard not to touch the iPad so that the 1st grade student can learn how to use the app.

3rd grade experts

Kaleidoscope alumni explained all about 3rd grade.  The 2nd grade students listened excitedly and asked many questions. The 2nd graders were happy to hear that they will get their own gmail account, that the homework is similar and that there are many fun traditions in 3rd grade too.
