After 3 days of inside recess, we decided to turn our Kindergarten classroom into an Antarctica obstacle course! Kindergarteners pretended to be penguins. We hopped on rocks, crawled through an ice cave, ate fish in the sea, carried “eggs” on our feet, jumped on icebergs to avoid predators and slid on our bellies through the snow.
Great Salt Bay has the BEST cheering squad. They motivated our players and audience during the three intense basketball games Wednesday night! The Red boys won a nail biter of a game against Richmond, Blue boys lost a hard fought game against Woolwhich and Girls won against Richmond!
The crowd was on the edge of their seats during all three games and the near constant encouragement from the stands was a sight to see and definitely a motivator for the players!
GSB Students go to Doyle Preserve with Ms Leslie!
How do 4th graders make the most of inside recess on those super cold days? Here's how...
4th and 5th graders have rolled right into their skateboard unit with Ms. Erin! The students have been so excited she has started keeping a quote wall, it currently has things like, “I’m as good as Tony Hawke!” , “This is my favorite” , “I want Mrs Girard to do this, we can teach her!” , “This is AWESOME!” Thanks so much @firstpushsyndicate for loaning us your boards and safety gear!

Cindy from the Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District visited Ms Tracy’s class to teach a lesson on the importance of animal habits. The students helped sort animals and plants into their different homes and learned what happens when habitats are destroyed. The students will soon begin working on their poster for the yearly contest. The theme this year is Home is where the Habitat is.
