Mrs. Lott's class recently completed the Virtual Program presented by Delta Dental. The program teaches children in kindergarten through third grade about good oral health care. The Land of Smiles experience follows Captain Super Grin, as he defeats his nemesis, Caz Cavity, with a little help from his sidekicks, Terri Tooth Fairy and Toothpick. Throughout the adventure, students learn the importance of brushing teeth twice a day, flossing, eating healthy foods and visiting the dentist regularly. After the program, students answer questions regarding what they have learned. After completion, students earn a certoothicate of completion.

Students in Mrs. Scott's homeroom class made clay ornaments while in Mrs. Wilson's Art Class. Students described that they first had to roll the clay out flat. Cookie cutters were used to create the shape they wanted. They also cut the details that they wanted to accentuate. The clay had to dry for two weeks and then fired in the kiln. They painted the ornaments, let them dry and finalized it with varnish spray. The students placed hooks in them to hang for display.

Mrs. Richard's Kindergarten Classes engaged in meaningful conversations this month about children of the past and present. They decided to celebrate Thanksgiving as Native Americans and Pilgrims once did. They used art media to create Native American symbols to decorate our ‘deer skins’. They had a wonderful time!
