Last Day of School - Field Day Fun!
Monday, May 22nd was our last day of school for students and we celebrated with a Field Day. Weather did not permit us to set up everything outside as we had originally planned, but our teacher and volunteers adjusted activities and locations to make it a fun, memorable day for our students. We were so very thankful to have the help from so many:
ACES Celebration
On Friday 19, 2017 Chadron Primary School hosted our annual ACES Celebration. ACES stands for All Children Experience Success and students are given Cardinal Coupons throughout the year for going above and beyond our Cardinal expectations (1. Be Safe 2. Be Respectful and 3. Be Responsible)! When children earn the Cardinal Coupons, they write their name on the back and monthly drawings are held in which the students can earn small prizes. Teachers also select a Cardinal of the Month and those students get to have breakfast with Principal Uhing.
Perfect Attendance
These four students were able to attend every day of school for the 2016-2017 school year at Chadron Primary School. This is quite an accomplishment considering all of the days we are in session and with the sickness that often strikes our young students. Congratulations to these students for their dedication and to their families for valuing education!
7th Grade Readers
Seventh grade students came over to visit our Kindergarten classes and do some reading the last week of school. Our students get so excited with having the "big kids" come visit and it is so fun to see our former students doing so well. Thank you Kathy Smith for helping coordinate this activity!
2nd Grade Bare Books
The second grade classes recently completed their Bare Books. These books were a culmination of everything they have learned in Reading and Language. The students were quite creative with character development, writing techniques, and illustrations. This past week the 2nd graders were able to share their books with the kindergarten classes and all of the children were quite excited to be a part of this time!
Kindergarten coding
This week Team Hoffman and Team Landreth paired up to become computer programmers! Using a program called Kodable, students worked on problem solving, directionality, and teamwork. By using programming language and putting our codes in sequence, our programmers were very successful and engaged!
