To kick off a math unit about shapes and their attributes, South Elementary First Graders made Christmas trees decorated with different shapes! Our class made a tree together, and each student got to choose an ornament to add to the class tree. We then identified the shapes, counted them, and recorded them on a chart. After the class made a tree, each student got to make their own individual tree.
Our firsties had a great time using their knowledge of shapes to get in the holiday spirit!

In celebration of Veterans Day, the South School first graders learned about the branches of the United States Armed Forces and the importance of honoring our veterans. We were so excited to host Mrs. Brandy Mull, the Technology Director for the Warsaw School District, as a guest speaker. She spoke to the firsties about her 20 years of service in the United States Air Force and answered questions from the students. Our classes were so impressed with her stories and loved the pictures she shared. We are so grateful that she was able to join us!
South Families,
South students grades 2nd - 5th will be having a school-wide reading challenge from November 7th - December 15th, using the reading assessment program Accelerated Reader. Students will read books and then have to pass comprehension quizzes to count toward their total word counts. Programs such as Accelerated Reader dramatically help improve students' reading comprehension skills. We hope that these incentives get students excited about reading and increase the time students read at home and outside of the classroom. Please encourage your students to be active readers!
Students from Mrs. Redd's first-grade class at South School had 'a hand ' in creating this bulletin board for our annual Red Ribbon Week.
