Our 4th grade students are building strong comprehension skills by practicing paraphrasing. They began by verbally paraphrasing what a partner said—listening carefully, putting the idea into their own words, and checking for understanding. This is an important step toward becoming thoughtful readers, writers, and communicators!

4th graders are working on determining whether word pairs are synonyms or antonyms. They are learning to decide if words mean the same or the opposite and to explain their thinking using context clues and prior knowledge.

Being healthy is more than just eating nutritious food. The 7th grade FCS class enjoyed doing "Cardio Desk Drumming" with pool noodles and some rock'in music videos from a P.E. teacher. Also the students were laughing and having fun. Another important part to a healthy lifestyle. (the lights were off, so the pictures are a little dark.)

7th Grade FCS was busy with their last lab of the semester making French Toast. They stuffed themselves with golden French toast dripping with syrup. I tried not to help very much to see what they have learned doing labs this semester. They did a great job!
