Greenwood Laboratory School

4th and 5th Q1 Oral Presentations:

Students in 4th grade shared about their favorite month and they used different prompts or objects connected to that month. They shared this like holidays, seasons, colors, activities and celebrations connected to that month.

Students in 5th grade share about them and their families. They use adjectives to describe themselves and their parents and also shared about things that they like.

Greenwood Debate started their season over Fall Break with an amazing performance at a tournament held on campus at Missouri State University also co-hosted by Gloria Deo Academy and Springfield Catholic! 18 schools from across the area competed in the tournament.

We had some amazing victories, so please make sure you congratulate these students when you see them!

Go Blue Jays!

What did Mr. Madsen do on Fall Break? He took students hiking, camping, and floating!

"We explored some of Missouri's best natural wonders, bouldering at Elephant Rocks State Park, exploring and swimming at Johnson's Shut-Ins State Park, floating down the Current River and camping in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways region. Great time was had by all!"

They read informational texts, charted the best way to eat apples, explored what happens to pinecones submerged in warm water, measured circumference of apples, created arrays and equations with Apple Jacks, and of course sampled apples and homemade applesauce that cooked all morning in class!

Look for some fabulous fall descriptive writing in the halls soon!
