The students in Ms Simpson's 1st & 2nd grade class LOVED this book. In one part of the book, the characters had a debate to determine whether or not Pluto should be (re)considered a planet (& allowed back into the Solar System). The students cast their vote. Then, the next day, they voted to decide who won the debate. "Y" meant "Yes", that Pluto was back! As you can see, We ❤️ Pluto ( to quote the book).
We also ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ reading!!!
Dress like Harry Potter Day was a lot of fun. The kids loved their Harry Potter glasses!

Today is the last day of February, and in Ms. Simpson's 1st & 2nd grade class, we talked about that the spirit of Black History month: love, kindness, respect, empathy, equality, and overcoming obstacles (among other traits) shouldn't cease just because the month ends.
Be proud of your students! They are a great group of individuals with a wonderful sense of right & wrong. They did such an AMAZING job with our Black History Month lessons & activities. I'm impressed.
We sang songs, danced, watched videos, listened to books, completed art projects, had some great discussions, and used our reading skills to read & seek out important details within text.
Some of the noteworthy individuals we learned about were: Benjamin Banneker, George Washington Carver, Langston Hughes, Bessie Coleman, Jackie Robinson, Henry Box Brown, Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Mae Jemison, Jesse Owens, & many others.
We were filming our young Jayhawks learning today for our kindergarten round-up commercial. Spread the word- join the Jayhawk family! April 17th from 5:15-6:15pm at Townsend Elementary.
