Happy School Counselors Week to Parkview Elementary's Mrs. Johnson! Thank you for all you do for our students, staff, and school community! #MISDOwnYourFuture #MISDinspire

Did you know our preschool classes also visit specials!? Here, Miss Jess's class has fun learning about the step bell with Mr. Thompson! #parkviewinspire #misdinspire



Through our FOSS science kits, Kindergarten students explore how things move by rolling balls down ramps. They learn about cause and effect, make predictions, solve problems, and use simple science words like fast, slow, up, and down all through hands on learning!










STUDENTS OF THE WEEK!
We are so proud of the following students who have been working hard and showing the Marion Way! Keep it up everyone!




Using their FOSS science kits, first graders are learning about weather and air. Using feathers, straws, syringes, and making their own parachutes to investigate air pressure, they are having so much fun with their hands on learning! #parkviewinspire #misdinspire










Counselor Johnson visited Ms. Jess's class to help them learn some new calming strategies. Students learned and practiced: 5 Finger Breathing, Belly Breaths, and Pizza Breathing. Then, they practiced using those strategies when putting together a puzzle with a partner!


During science, Parkview 2nd graders examined a variety of squares made from different materials and explored their properties. Working together, they observed, tested, and discussed clues to figure out what each square was made of.
Hands-on learning at its best!





Parkview Kindergarteners wrapped up their #CKLA unit with a culminating activity of creating pictographs! #misdinspire #parkviewinspire









STUDENTS OF THE WEEK!
These students have been selected for Student of the Week for showing the Marion Way! We are so proud of you!




What looks like a simple routine is actually hands-on math!
Each morning Kindergarteners do "calendar". They say the month, day of the week, and date. Then they add a straw for each day of school to build understanding of place value (tens and ones), sequencing numbers, and number fluency. They also graph the weather, compare temperature, count attendance, and talk about how numbers change over time.
It's also an extra special job to be the calendar helper!

We will not have school on Friday, January 23rd due to the cold weather warning. We will not have any morning activities. Evening activities for Friday will by made by noon on Friday as we monitor the cold weather warning. #StaySafe

After our already planned early dismissal today, we will not have any afternoon or evening activities for students. Please see Marion Home School's communication about the MHSAP schedule for today.

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK!
The following students have been showing the Marion Way and are being recognized for their efforts this week! Great job, everyone!




Rally Robin is a cooperative learning strategy where students take turns quickly sharing ideas or answers back and forth with a partner. Here, Parkview Kindergarteners are taking turns using their new tricky word "little" in complete sentences. #parkviewinspire #misdinspire
