Oct. 28th was Kindergarten Fall Day. They jumped in the leaves across the street at the park. They also goofed around on the play ground. It was great weather to play outside and get some fresh air. They had a great time with each other and their teacher, Mrs. Thomas. Some people wish they were in kindergarden again. This is the story of the Kindergarden Fall Day.
The second grade students went on a field trip to a farm to learn about some important community helpers. They learned about the different uses of wool, care of animals and the usefulness of honey bees. They also learned all about the different kinds of foods they need to grow big and strong. They saw a dog do hand commands; they saw a goat, a horse, some rabbits, and a sheep. They learned what kinds of foods farm animals give us. and how they help make our lives better. After visiting the farm, they were able to go to the park to play and eat lunch.
October 8th was “Walk to School Day” and some kids got some exercise. In the pictures we took, students looked really happy. We hope you got to walk to school, too. Every student who walked to school got extra recess. Parents, your kids did really great!
If you were driving by Park View on Sept. 29th or Oct. 1st, chances are you saw kids outside walking or running. The kids were giving their all to earn money for the PTA. Every few laps the kids could earn prizes such as silly bands, Frisbees, treats and water bottles. This motivated the kids to try their hardest. Previously, they asked family and friends for donations for each lap they completed.
We had some outstanding runners. Even a few teachers joined in the fun. These are the top boy or girl runners for each grade:
