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!

Parent FAQs
-
- When is the school day?
- School day begins at 7:50 a.m. and ends at 3:20 p.m. Car riders should not arrive before 7:25 a.m. Students arriving after 7:50 a.m. and before 8:30 a.m. or leaving between 2:40 to 3:20 p.m. will be considered tardy and must be signed in/out through the office by a parent/guardian. Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. or leaving before 2:40 p.m. will receive a 1⁄2 day absence.
- When does my child have to be picked up?
- Car riders must be picked up by 3:40 p.m. Parents/guardians should remain in their cars when picking up their children in the afternoon so that students may be more closely monitored unless a parent needs to speak to school staff. No one will be allowed to wait inside the building.
- How many days of school can my child miss?
- Students shall not be absent, as defined in this policy more than 8 days in grades K-5 in a semester. When a student has 4 days in grades K-5 absences, his/her parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be notified that the student has missed half the allowable days for the semester. Notification may be by telephone.
- Whenever a K-5 student exceeds 8 unexcused days in a semester, the District shall notify the prosecuting authority and the parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis shall be subject to a civil penalty as prescribed by law. A K-5 student with 8 unexcused days in a course in a semester shall not receive credit for that semester. If the student fails to receive credit for a sufficient number of courses and at the discretion of the principal after consultation with persons having knowledge of the circumstances of the absences, the student may be denied promotion. Excessive absences, however, shall not be a reason for expulsion or dismissal of a student.
- Can I come eat lunch with my child?
- Yes, we have an outside lunch area set up for parents to eat with students. You must sign in at the office with Ms. Whitney and she will call for your student.
- Can I bring cupcakes for my child’s birthday?
