The children enjoyed visiting the Wonders of the World and learned a great deal. Thanks to all the parents who helped. Students in Dru Markle's 6-1 communication arts classes are exploring story elements of plot, setting, character and conflict by creating game boards of books read during literature circles. Students have been working cooperatively to develop colorful board games that are clever and enjoyable to play. Students will travel between groups sampling each other's handiwork.
Today is progress report day.
Pinewood Elementary First-graders in Jane Neu's class are wrapping up their weather unit with a visit from Tim Ross, the Fox 17 ''weather guy'' on Tuesday. Tim will speak to the entire school in a 2 p.m. assembly program. In addition to his job at Fox 17, he is also the author of several children's books, including Brewster, The Rain Makin' Rooster. He has several other books scheduled for publication over the next 3 years. Pinewood students are looking forward to an entertaining presentation.
