3rd-grade semantic gradients
Clutter Mess Disorder Confusion Destruction Chaos Semantic gradients are a great way to deepen students' understanding of related words! Today, 3rd-grade readers warmed up their brains by trying to organize words from the least amount to the greatest amount of "disorder", one of our newest vocabulary words. We even tossed in a few antonyms at the end to enrich our discussion! #eeslegends #GreenbrierProud

K-5 Music
K-5 Music Classes this week have been learning about the Lunar New Year. They have learned about traditions around the New Year, instruments specific to Asian countries, and have learned how to sing and dance to several Lunar New Year songs. Here you can see them performing a traditional Lunar New Year fan dance with fans they made themselves. The video shows them playing a traditional Japanese game called "Se, Se,Se." Can you guess what the game would be in English?

C and K rules!
Kindergarten was learning about the letter k and the phoneme /k/! They have already learned that the letter c can also make the /k/ sound. The teachers were introducing that letters a, o, and u often come before c with the cat graphic and letters e and i often come before k with the kite graphic! The c and k rule is important when spelling words that begin with the /k/ sound!
