Students and staff enjoyed today's Kindness Spirit Day - Switch to Always Being Kind! Many of students dressed like our staff and LOTS of staff were sporting Crocs like our students!
In Life Skills, to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Ms Armanini’s students made a chocolate cake in a cup. Students identified and gathered the ingredients and tools needed to make the recipe. Students followed multi-step directions in a sequence. Students worked on communicating effectively with peers and staff by requesting and taking turns. It turned out delicious!
Pi Day is coming and it's time for staff to get PIED! Start saving your pennies - starting Monday, February 26th, there will be containers in the school cafeteria with names of staff who have volunteered to get "pied" on 3/14. Vote for who you want most to be pied by dropping in your spare change! The more we raise, the more get pied - including principals!
Ms. Super's 6th and 7th grade students have been analyzing different types of text and how the texts are structured differently. Today, the students focused on reading texts about Valentine's Day. Each group chose a different article with a different text structure from cause and effect to compare and contrast to chronological order etc. After reading their article, the groups discussed the text structure and examples and came up with creative examples of their own to match the text structure and presented them to their classmates.

Today at Pilla we tried to double, triple and sometimes quadruple the kindness by asking students to twin with their friends! #pillaproud💛💙
Students tested how changing the mass of the paper football affected the distance they were able to flick it. They also tested 3 different ways to hold the paper football to see which orientation allowed them to "kick" for distance and accuracy. Students worked together to measure and record their distances. #pillaproud 💛💙
Students from Ms. Colan and Mr. Rosa's classes enjoyed their day at Chick Fil A on Friday!
