This week has been busy and I am behind on posting the RARE Awards. We have had a bunch. The first one is a 3rd grade girl who has earned an award for being Responsible. This is her second award. She consistently cleans out her folder, gets her planner signed and has already earned points for her October AR goal. The second award winner is a 4th grade student. He earned his award for helping Mrs. Hanna with a door while he was in the gym. He earned his award for being Respectful. The 3rd student was another 4th grade student who earned a RARE Award for being Respectful. He is respectful and helpful to his peers and also to his teachers! The last 4 students to earn their RARE Awards were all 2nd grade students. The first one earned hers for being Accountable. She always uses her work time appropriately at school. She always tries to do her best on each assignment. The next young lady earned her award for being Responsible. She is always prepared for class. She remembers to get her planner signed each night and bring it back to class each day. The 3rd second grade student to earn a RARE Award also earned it for being Responsible. She is always prepared for class and she remembers to take her planner home and return it to the school signed by a parent each day. The final 2nd grade student to earn a RARE Award this week earned it for being Accountable. He works hard and puts his best effort in on each of his assignments. He always tries his best.

Third grade has been learning about extreme weather and finding ways to reduce the impact. Last week the class built paper houses, and produced high winds. They had to problem solve and try some engineering solutions so their house or roof did not blow away. Through this activity, they learned about many construction strategies actually used like foundations and hip roofs versus gable roofs. Additionally, they learned about materials used like ring shank nails.
