Bulldog Holiday Spirit Week!

Our district's annual Food Drive, sponsored by the Washington Student Council and benefiting the IV Food Pantry, ended last week. Lincoln School collected 1829 food items, with Mrs. Reynold's class winning the reward for donating the most items! Washington School collected 1436 items! The student council members at Washington, and the fifth grade helpers at Lincoln, loaded up all of the items into the IV Food Pantry van. Thank you to everyone who donated to our annual food drive!

Last Thursday, the preschoolers had fun with Literacy Day! They read "If You Give a Dog a Donut", played games with their special visitors and went to the Book Fair!

Oglesby Washington auditions for Finding Nemo Jr. are coming soon! Don't forget to use the Google form to sign up!

The Cooking Club made a cinnamon-sugar trail mix Friday, and passed bags out to the staff at Washington this morning! The kids were also able to make their own trail mix as well, and learned how to properly measure out ingredients.

First grade finished their unit on the Human Body by having a Doctor Day. Students in Mrs. Pescetto’s class practiced math and phonics by mending broken bones, writing words about the body and putting bandaids in correct bins. They also put puzzles of the human body together, labeled parts of a body, asked Nurse Jordan questions and were able to listen to their heart beat and the heartbeat of classmates. They played operation and watched The Magic School Bus: The Circulatory System.

The doctors are in!! First grade celebrated the end of Knowledge Unit 2: The Human Body with Doctor Day today! Students scrubbed in and reported to the OR for a day filled with fun doctor-related games & activities! Miss Simpson's class started with some rotation stations. The doctors got to put together body system puzzles, care for patients, play Operation, repair broken digraph bones, find the sum of 3 band aid numbers, and even helped find all the missing parts of the circulatory, digestive, nervous, skeletal, and muscular systems! We are happy to report everyone was successful, and all patients went home happy & healthy! They wrapped up a great day with some Magic School Bus and are headed into the weekend for some well-deserved rest!

Doctor Day was a total success in Ms. Coble’s Class -diagnosis: extreme excitement! Symptoms included fun, laughter, enthusiastic reading and writing, and science adventures all day long!
