Students in Mrs. Minssen's Reading classes have been continuing learning about Veteran's Day through expanding vocabulary & comprehension activities. They found a cloze read page to be challenging & an abc order word sort to be fun! We look forward to honoring all veterans!
We are sharing an update of our lost and found table. Please notice that there is a pair of eye glasses there too.
If something belongs to you please call the school at 815/379-2900 and we will be glad to get it to your student. Thank you!
The third grade class is practicing how to measure using the metric system. They are doing this by measuring their feet.
Their partners measure both the right foot and left foot. They have to measure using centimeters, and then covert to millimeters.
Did you know that most people tend to have one foot that is slightly larger than the other one?
Also, it is easier and more accurate to measure metrically.
Screening is Open for Fall 2023
This is a reminder that tomorrow, November 5th we will set our clocks back 1 hour. Don't forget to fall back!
Mrs. Dye's and Mrs. Monier's 2nd grade classes read the story Pumpkin Jack. We discussed the pumpkin life cycle. Then we set up our own Pumpkin Jack. We will keep the pumpkin in this container and observe the changes it goes through. Hopefully the end result will be new pumpkin plants to plant in the school garden! Students will record their observations throughout the process.
Ms. Michlig and Miss Mall's students read a fun story called Christopher Pumpkin! In the story, Christopher decorated the witch's castle with fun, colorful decorations. The students were able to decorate their own haunted castles! Teachers came in and voted for the castle they would attend a party at! Which one would you vote for?!?
BV Walnut 4th graders had fun on Halloween morning by solving the Mystery in Cardiff! Students had to use inferencing and sequencing skills to solve the crime of the stolen painting. Special shout out to our winners Camden, Alexa, Tucker, and Bella for solving the mystery!

We have had a few visitors in the Walnut Preschool classroom. We missed a few photo ops but we appreciate all those who have given their time and look forward to the next round of visitors.
5th Grade is working on expository writing. This week, that meant writing step-by-step directions on how to make a PB&J sandwich. Students also got to enjoy their creations, of course!
Please help me decide... which teacher team had the best pumpkin?? Like your favorite photo to vote.
