AR Goal Makers' Party






Each quarter, those students who make their AR goals with at least 85 % averages get to attend a goal party. For first quarter, they were invited to a pumpkin party where they decorated cookies with Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Hicks. They got a little silly with the icing, as you can see from the pictures. I'm proud to say that 17 out of 20 students in our class made their 1st quarter goals! Congratulations to those students.

Here is a list of 1st quarter goal makers:

Chanchali Agrawal

Allen Billinger

Drake Bryant

LaSeanda Flake

Nils Hoffmann

Dayshawn Holmes

Darrion Hudson

Abed Ibrahim

Russell Leonard

John Lindt

Native American Projects

Here are some highlights from the kids' Native American Projects. They were required to create a poster or model and give an oral presentation. They did a great job!

Science Experiments

Our class has been performing a small science experiment for the past couple of weeks. We put some bread, orange peel and tomato in a jar, and observed it every day for 10 days to see what had happened. It wasn't pretty! The jars were filled with mold by the end of the experiment.

Some pictures of the students observing the changes in their jars:

August PBIS Party

On the last day of every month, Lewis School has a positive behavior party for students who are detention-free during that month. In August, we had a water balloon party, and the kids had a blast. The rotated through three stations: water balloon toss, relay races, and water balloon baseball. When we were done, we got to enjoy snow cones. It was a great treat for those who made positive choices in the month of August.
