Today, Greenfield Elementary students celebrated the 100th Day of School for the 2018-19 school year. Some students decorated t-shirts with 100 of something on them. Pennies, gumballs, googly eyes and stars were used to help us celebrate. It's hard to believe we are over half way done for the year. The next few months are very important as we continue to prepare our students for moving on to the next grade level and MAP testing. Please continue to encourage and support your child to do their very best each day!
We Have A Dream
Last week, in the Little Cat room, students were learning about Martin Luther King. Jr. They learned he was a famous man who told everyone that he had a dream that all people would be friends. They drew a self portrait with clouds to show everyone that we have a dream too!
Tips for Parents from the School Health Office
The pre-school playground received a new tree last Friday. The students were so excited to watch the truck with the tree and machinery to plant the new tree pull in. We watched all morning as they measured and dug a hole. We were able to see them set the new tree and saw the big ball of roots. Our tree is very tall and strong. We are so excited for the shade it will provide us!! Thank you Greenfield Administration, Board of Education and Pinewood Nursery!!!
Our new unit in the Little Cat room is about Snow and Snowmen!!! We read, The Snowy Day, and discovered a lot of fun things to do in the snow. We will learn about the letter S, it’s sound, words that start with S, and how to write it. This morning lots of giggles, squeals and WOWS were heard as we made our own snow and played with it!!!! Snow in the classroom and sunshine on the playground!!!! This was a great Monday!

Happy #GivingTuesday! Today I am choosing to #CaretoGive and support Care to Learn Greenfield which provides immediate funding to meet emergent needs in the areas of health, hunger, and hygiene so every student can be successful in school. A coat. A meal. A pair of eyeglasses. These are the simple things that often stand between a child and their ability to engage in learning and be accepted by their peers. Join me in supporting CaretoLearn Greenfield, and your donations will help students succeed! Go to https://caretolearn.org/southwest-missouri/greenfield/ to donate. Thank you!
