A Snapshot of Learning

KINDNESS RULES IN GRADE ONE - Colby M. and Cameryn W. from Mrs. Augusta and Mrs. Carpenter’s first grade class were recognized by Mrs. DuBois for showing kindness. They have been respectful by using polite manners, responsible by helping their peers, and safe by following classroom expectations. These co-teachers have challenged all of their students to spread kindness at Palmer River Elementary. Many others in this same classroom have also been recognized for recording at targeted number of kind deeds.

Little-Rowan-You-Who - Palmer River’s young preschool student, Rowan K., shows her holiday spirit in a “light-up” outfit fit for Who-ville. There is never a shortage of spirit at Palmer River. We appreciate all the extra support from our parents who help our students prepare for our theme dressing, pajama days and other varied

Spreading Kindness Ala Bananas - As their first official “act of kindness”, the kindness crew wrote kind messages on the 180 bananas that would be served at lunch.  Students were surprised by the kind words and shared them around each lunch table.  Palmer River has recommended and selected 10 members as part of the “New” Palmer River Kindness Crew.  This select group of students has evidenced caring classroom behavior, exhibit kindness every day and show great effort on their schoolwork.  Each student has completed an application sharing how they will work to inspire kindness and help to make our school a better place.  Next up, (with the help of our high school), the children will create a video introducing themselves and their vision to everyone at our school.  Pictured left, fourth graders Nick W.  and Sophie-Louise N. spread positivity with their kind messages.

Poetry Party Takes Off! – Students in Mrs. Carswell’s second grade classroom recently hosted a very exciting Poetry Party presentation for their families.  Who knew poetry could be so much fun?  What a great way to help everyone to celebrate our newest “authors”.
