Building, Building, Building!!

This week our schedule had us learning in many new ways!


Fourth Grade took a walking field trip to HEB and learned some nutritious ways to shop and where things in the store were located. We are more knowledgeable consumers now!

Fourth also had the opportunity to stretch with our first writing benchmark. We worked hard on Thursday, expressing our thoughts in written form!

Third Grade practiced and performed Kiker's Rendition of "Schoolhouse Rock!" We enjoyed watching them Friday!

As Third Grade was in final rehearsal, we had the chance to learn about the people and events in the PTA. We've compiled a book of thank you letters from Second Grade and Expository pieces from Fourth to present to the PTA Board at their next meeting. It was exciting to find out their roles, and the wonderful things they do here at Kiker.

Second grade investigated how heat affects matter by melting various solids. We observed and described the properties that change and the properties that stay the same. We also got some fresh air and collected ten bags of leaves to contribute to our keyhole garden.

Finally, last but not least, we built our Keyhole Garden on Friday. THANK YOU to everyone who donated items and time to make this a successful build. We appreciate it, and this was a perfect culminating activity for what we've been learning!









A very Happy Thanksgiving to all our SBLC family -- we are so grateful for each and every one of you!!
