One of our very own 3rd graders was inspired by our Drama Module in reading, that he created his own Thanksgiving play for his fellow classmates to perform! It had props, costumes, sound effects, backdrops, directing, and dialogue! Very entertaining! #UnityExcellencePride
Some snow and sunshine brought many smiles to Walnut's 4th grade students

Mrs Krug's 3rd grade class has been given the STEM challenge to build a "bine bridge" using only liquid glue and QTips.
3rd grade has been learning about the Elements of Drama. They were excited to be able to practice those skills and act out one of the fun plays they have been reading, and they did great!
Our 3rd graders got to participate in an obstacle course created by Mr. Juhola! This was an amazing incentive for our students, as they continue to be Safe, Responsible, and Respectful! All our 3rd graders got to participate! Great job everyone, it was fun! #UnityExcellencePride
3rd grade earned their Incentive today for their excellent work at being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful at school. They sure had a lot of fun!
2nd grade enjoyed the obstacle course Mr. Juhola set up for our monthly incentive! It was great to see them all cheering each other on!
Mrs. Krug's 3rd grade Math class spent some time outside to discover multiplication and division in nature! They had fun finding objects in nature and breaking them apart into equal groups, then writing the equations that go along with it.
Thank you Mr. Stabler for coming in to read to Mrs. Monier's 2 grade class! The students really enjoyed it!

K-5 students in Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Minssen's classes have been learning about Veteran's Day. They are practicing important vocabulary words, writing short notes, and citing text evidence.

Veterans Day program rehearsal is moving along!
Students in Mrs. Minssen's Reading classes have been continuing learning about Veteran's Day through expanding vocabulary & comprehension activities. They found a cloze read page to be challenging & an abc order word sort to be fun! We look forward to honoring all veterans!
