One of the important lessons in AVID is teaching students the importance of organization. One way to stay organized in the classroom is with a binder. These kindergarten students enjoyed setting up their binders earlier this week.
Ms Franklin’s first graders created piñatas out of boxes. They used pattern block shapes to create their designs. On some you will see butterflies and pineapples. On some you will see overlapping. Students can’t wait to take them home and show their families! This month's book is "The Piñata that the Farm Maiden Hung" by Samantha R. Vamos.
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) lessons are applied to a variety of courses and skills that students use daily. It is fun to see students of all ages learn that STEM is Lit! #pcssdproud #equityandexcellence

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Sergeant’s class have been learning about the letter O. After reading this month's STEM is LIT book, they each created an octopus piñata. This month's book is "The Piñata that the Farm Maiden Hung" by Samantha R. Vamos. Great work students!
