Kindergarten students have been learning all about apples! Some of the fun activities included an apple market for dramatic play, sorting apples by different attributes, investigating apples with the help of our fourth grade reading buddies, apple-stacking challenge, and an apple foods taste test!
On Friday, the First Grade Helpful Hedgehogs created Sprout Houses in science lab. Students “planted” the seeds and placed them in the classroom window.
When the students are on the playground, they will be able to see the houses and watch for the plants to sprout!
Congratulations to Jacob Putty: Moved into the Competitive Fitness 500 lb Dead Lift Club!
Mrs. Gray’s 3rd graders and Dr. Hammerschmidt’s 1st graders are doing a multiage collaboration with Dr. Bolyard’s ELE410 Methods Class. The university students are studying to become teachers. This experience provides the university students with hands on learning situations and how to locate, read and design a lesson utilizing the Missouri Learning Standards. Today, the university students met the first and third grade students, then completed an icebreaker activity and student interest inventory with the Greenwood Students. The university students have selected one of the first and third grade social studies standards and will present an activity in November to culminate the collaboration.

Representing the state of Missouri and Greenwood, Kai competed in many events against 90 IGC high schoolers and finished in the top 10 seven times and top five four times, including placing in the three country geography exams offered - Slovak (3rd Place), Austrian (4th Place), Hungarian (6th Place); making the finals in three buzzer-based quiz events – Scramble, Visual Geography Bee, Blitz; and placing in one other event - Geoguessr (4th Place). According to Kai, “I got to know a lot of amazing people. It was an extremely memorable experience and so much fun!”
