We will be holding our first fundraiser of the school year! Students will have the opportunity to sell $1 chocolate bars to their family and friends! We will have prizes for participating students such as lanyards and chocolate bars. Hollie Richardson pulled the shark lanyard and won 5 pounds of chocolate! Our top seller will be able to be principal for a day! The monies raised will allow us to purchase instructional items for the students.

The students in Mrs. Wharton's Kindergarten class completed a science project entitled Make It Rain which involved shaving cream, food dye, and water.

Her students also made Easter stick puppets and dyed Easter eggs together. All of the students received Easter baskets filled with fun treats. Mrs. Wharton would like to thank the parents for donating items to include in the Easter baskets.

Students have been focusing on their global regions of study for the past month. Kindergarten students have focused on North America and have learned about the United States, Canada, and Jamaica. First grade students have focused on South America and have learned about Brazil, Colombia, and Ecuador. Second grade has focused on Europe and has learned about Ireland, Italy, and Germany. Third grade students have focused on Africa and have learned about South Sudan, Egypt, and South Africa. Fourth grade students have focused on Asia and have learned about China, Russia, India, and Israel. Fifth grade students have learned about Australia/Oceania and have focused on Australia, New Zealand, and Vanuatu. Mrs. Lynch's class has focused on Antarctica and have learned about research stations, animals and landscape. We will be culminating our month of research and global learning with our Global Expo on Thursday, April 29 at 6pm on the Monday Morning Meet link in Google Classroom. The research projects that our 2nd-5th grade students have created this past month will be presented. We will meet students from Colombia and visit places around the world. Please come out to see what all of our students have learned and the wonderful research projects they have created! We look forward to seeing you then!

The students in Mrs. Wharton's Kindergarten class made music instruments after reading the HMH story entitled Let's Make Music. The class made a band and Mrs. Wharton and Mrs. Boyd were the lead singers in the band. We can hear the beautiful music now! Checkout the amazing instruments the students made.

Mrs. Barnes and Ms. Carroll's Pre-K class celebrated Week of the Young Child. Week of the Young Child is a time to recognize that children's opportunities are our responsibilities, and to recommit ourselves to ensuring that each and every child experiences the type of early environment—at home, at child care, at school, and in the community—that will promote their early learning. Students created hands-on activities through art and music. Our students made butterflies, drew rainbows, talked about Earth day and drew pictures of different types of trees. At the end of Week of the Young Child the Pre-K students had a Pizza Party Celebration and students were able to pick prizes from the treasure box.

As spring has sprung, students have been listening to Mr. Vivaldi's "Spring" and "Summer" from his Four Season's work. They have listened for the dynamics of loud and quiet, the tempo for fast, medium or slow, the instruments they hear and the mood they feel when listening. Most interesting to the students was that PARENTS chose the career path and spouse for their children in 17th century Italy! As one third grader pointed out, "I prefer to choose my own!" Third graders have learned "Jamaican Farewell" by Harry Belefonte and will share a bit of it for Global Night. They love watching Mrs. Cole-Bailey dance to it as they play their shakers!

Now that more students have returned, recorder playing for 4th and 5th graders is improving.

It is most important to have all instrument kits and recorders returned to school at this time.

Thank you for your support of music in our school!
Mrs. Colin, Music Teacher

We received a donation of 24 computers and 12 docking stations! Each classroom will receive two computers and one docking station for teacher and student use. This will make it much easier for our students to complete their Google Classroom assignments. We are very thankful that Mrs. Barbara Brayboy ensured Vaughan received the computer donation provided by Eric Locklear and the Social Security Administration of Fayettville. Thank you Mrs. Brayboy!
