Thank you!

Look what's going on in Mrs Ayres' 1st Grade Classroom! The students have new ball chairs to give them more movement throughout the school day. Thanks to the Paw Paw Elementary PTO for donating funds to classroom teachers. These donation funds helped pay for the new ball chairs.


A huge thank you to Midwest Energy Cooperative for donating water bottles to our students in need. This was a nice surprise!

The Early Elementary Staff is asking for candy donations. Please make sure that donations are in a store bought package of individually wrapped treats.
Donations are due by Friday, October 23rd.
We will take all donations and prepare a treat bag for every child in the building.
For more information, look for this flyer coming home with your child.
For writing today, Ms. Luma’s crafty, letter detectives had to search for their letters to write!




Mrs Tapper's 2nd grade class learned about I PICK choices and good fit books. The students created hands as a tool to help them decide whether or not a book is a good fit!

In Mrs. Thorpe's 2nd grade class, students were able to "adopt" reading buddies. They know that the best way to care for their animal is to read to them!




Fall Student Count Day is Wednesday, October 7th!
If your child is well, it is important that they are in attendance on this day.
*Count Day is when all public schools in Michigan tally the number of students attending their schools.
*Count information is critical to districts, because each student translates into state funding.

Mrs. Albertson's kindergarten class reviewed the letter M recognition and sound by making a list of words that begin with M and by sorting M & M's by color. They wrote the number to match the amount. When the students finished their work, they enjoyed the colorful treats!



Mrs. Shugg's 2nd grade class created land formations today. Next week the class will learn about erosion!
