Mill A School

iPads, legos and pattern blocks in Ms. Erika's class.

At today's morning meeting, and as part of our "Read Across Mill A School" reading challenge, Mrs. Durham entertained us all with a very dramatic reading of "Fox in Socks"!

Mrs. Durham's class has started planting seeds.

Propagating plants with Mrs. Durham. Several students had an opportunity to make plant cuttings to propagate in water. They also had an opportunity to plant new cuttings that had already been rooted by water propagation. Watch for more school-wide plant studies in the future. We are very excited for our students to learn all about plants!

Watering Plants Several students help water plants when they have a few minutes to spare. Taking care of these plants is a team effort! The next PTO Plant Sale will be on Saturday, May 21st from 9 am-noon.

Read Across Mill A School! This is a school-wide reading challenge! As students read a book, they can fill out a book review form, add it on to the worm and help our bookworm grow. Students also have an opportunity to do a read aloud to the whole school on Fridays this month. Students can sign up by talking to their teacher.

Happy birthday, Dr. Seuss! Thank you Ms. Naomi for making us such a special lunch of green eggs and ham!

Fun in the sun!

Mrs. Talbott's students are learning a little bit about aerodynamics with a NASCAR sponsored activity through Scholastic.

Beginning February 1, Mill A School is launching a supervised after-school study time called BOBCAT STUDY TIME (BST). Every Tuesday and Thursday after school, up to 8 MAS students (grades 3-8) can stay a little longer to get help with and work on unfinished classwork or homework. Parent pre-approval (call 509-538-2522 or email Ms. Lisa loneal@millaschool) is required. GO BOBCATS!

BOBCAT PRIDE FRIDAY! Remember to wear your Bobcat Blue & Yellow!

We still have a lot of snow in Mill A! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. We want our students to be safe and warm while waiting for the bus and during outdoor recess.

Reminder that Friday (1/21) is a Mid-year break for students. Teachers will be working hard finalizing and posting semester grades (will be mailed next Friday).
