The Spanish enrichment group learned about Puerto Rico and made "coquis", which say their name, and carved "Taino petroglyphs" in soap. 

The clay enrichments group was busy making super creative projects that will be fired and glazed next week. 

The board gaming enrichments group have enjoyed learning new strategy games each week.

Next week, we will check in on our historical fiction, roll-playing game enrichments group!

Our trip to the Nittany Mall was great! We enjoyed shopping for others, singing and dancing at the Senior Center, and meeting "The Big Guy".

A Christmas Carol by Adam Swartz Puppets was a blast. The audience (us) was involved in the performance, and we had so much fun!

Science class  was learning about the property of water and  cohesion, by seeing how far they could fill a cup over the rim.

Report Cards will come home this Friday. Please email your child's teacher(s) to set up a parent-teacher conference. 

Our school is hosting a St. Jude Math-A-Thon. We're solving math problems and asking for pledges so we can help kids with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. 
In the spirit of Thanks and Giving, let's give thanks for the healthy kids in our lives and give to those who are not. Please register your student today! We start on Tuesday, 11/27.

Tallyrand Park and Mike's House Trip

Check out our group Egyptian Pyramid building challenge, using the material given. 

This Friday is our last fall field-trip. We are going to the Nittany Mall to "hike" and to exercise at the senior center. Bring a packed lunch that does not require heating. 

Today we will sign-up for winter enrichments!

TOMORROW (yes, tomorrow instead of Friday due to the weather) we will go to Tallyrand Park and then to Mike's house to have lunch.
Ms. Ivy has donated hot dogs for us to roast, but you will still need to pack some lunch and bring a refillable water bottle. :)
Friday will be like a Thursday class schedule.

Wheels Day was a blast and the students all remembered about brain safety, and used helmets while riding!

Egyptians?

On Monday, the students in Shannon, Verna, and Brandy's classes will attend the school-time matinee at Eisenhower Auditorium: "Diary of a Worm, a Spider, and a  Fly"

NVCS got to meet the State College Mayor!

Our students had really great questions to ask him about his work as a public official.

Brandy's class is studying Egypt, but they didn't know how to "Walk like an Egyptian"!

Learning their Spanish colors in a fun way.

Trash Walk and Lederer Park:
