teachers, and parents. Even with all the experience that I have, I look to her for

mentoring, advice, and modeling. If there was ever a person God wanted to work

with students with disabilities, His chosen one is Julee Snyder.”

Teacher of Excellence 2015

dergarten students, Jaden, Lucas, Noah,

Kaiden, Mady, and Emily! You are all

welcome additions to our elementary

classes!!! Our teachers have been very

busy learning our new curriculum and

implementing it in their classrooms. Our

first unit taught us all about our school

and the people who work there. The next

unit is Animals in Their Homes. Looking

ahead, we have a field trip tentatively

planned for Gross Farms on October 22.

Please be on the lookout for more infor-

mation about this trip coming soon.

The students in elementary room 114

have been busy this past month. They

are learning the alphabet, numbers 1-10

and doing activities about their family,

farm animals, apples and all about

me. Everyone is getting use to the class-

room routine and working hard. We have

had an amazing start to the new school

year! We want to welcome our new kin-

The preschoolers in Mrs. Best’s class have

had a busy first month of school. We have

been learning classroom rules and routines,

getting to know new friends, and learning

how to use school tools. Our writing center

has been a popular spot in our classroom.

We took our first field trip of the school

year to the Regional Lee County Fair where

we saw story tellers perform, visited farm

animals and rode some exciting rides.

We’ve been learning “All About Me” in

recent weeks, and fun activities have in-

cluded tasting salty, sweet, bitter, and sour

foods, creating skeleton chalk drawings,

and finger painting pictures of ourselves.

Safety and Stranger Danger. Special

visitors have been Lee County EMS

(ambulance) and Officer Meghan Turn-

mire. We will take a field trip to Fire

Station #2 to take a tour of the facili-

ties, learn about fire prevention from

real firefighters and see them in their

full uniform.

The Middle School has been learning

about Emergency Response for the

month of September. We have learned

about Bus Safety and how to enter and

exit the bus safely. We have also prac-

ticed how to evacuate the bus during an

emergency. Our students have learned

what is a real emergency and when to

call 911. We will also cover Fire

We are having a great time in Room 117! So far we have learned so much throughout the month

of September. The students learned all about themselves and discovered common connections

they had among their classmates! During the month of September, we learned about our 5 senses,

our body, our families, and how to be a great friend. The children had a lot of fun with the many

activities we did throughout the month. They even learned to recognize and identify their own

name, as well as, some of their friends! On top of our theme of the month, the students were able

to get into a classroom routine throughout the day and use their social skills to make friends by

sharing, playing, and taking turns with other students. It's been a great start to the Preschool year!
