Today at Clem, Mrs. McVay and Mrs. Stokes visited with all students in each grade level to share expectations that will make us the best CATS in Newark. Here are our visits to 1st, 2nd, and 4th grades. We are ready for an amazing year! @Newark_Schools

We introduced the Cherry Valley staff to the house system and everyone is deciding on their house. This is going to be fun! Stay tuned to see where everyone ends up! @Newark_Schools @DavidLewisNCS

Mrs. Wiseman’s 1st grade friends are wrapping up their arc with Brave Irene by discussing what they know and what they can do now after spending so much time with the book. They are sharing such great thinking. @benfranklin_ncs @JuakitaBowens

Students in Mrs. McCullough’s 1st grade used their response notebooks to write above the problem in their Geodes book “Super Spiny Mouse”. @benfranklin_ncs @JuakitaBowens

In Mrs. Wilkey’s room, after noticing and wondering in Stone Soup, we looked at a painting, The Bean Eater, and talked about noticings and wonderings. We’ve learned so much about what we can learn from art texts this year. @benfranklin_ncs @Mrs_Wilkey_2nd @JuakitaBowens
