This is always a fun time seeing all of the SGE Senior Graduates! Best of luck in your next chapter of life!
"Los Machetes" is a folk dance from Mexico that was created by farmers who used machetes to harvest sugar cane. The 5th grade students learned this dance in Music (using rhythm sticks for a safer version of the dance).
Mr. Pittman did the ribbon cutting for the opening of the 3rd grade stores, that was part of their economy unit.
The 2nd graders enjoyed being the first group to use our brand new Botley robots!
The kindergarteners read Nanette's Baguette by Mo Willems this week and got to share a baguette!
First graders are learning to go "in and out the windows" as we sing "Go All Around the Village".
Congratulations to Shye for saving 200 SOAR tickets to have lunch with Mr. Pittman today!
Fifth-grade students are starting their end-of-the-year legacy project, ceiling tiles!
Thank you to the parents and PTO for spoiling the staff this week! It is greatly appreciated.
Enjoy the first newsletter of May!

They are programming their Beebot robots to knock bowling pins down, navigate to specific letters and shapes, and visit different buildings in a community. They even used colorforms to create their own robots!
