It's been too cold for outside recess, so these kindergarteners worked collaboratively with magna-tiles during indoor recess! #starryinspire #misdinspire


See the flyer below about Starry FASTWORKS!
A great opportunity to connect with other Starry families!

2nd graders in Mrs. Vasser's class learned a new math game called "Beat the Calculator". They worked to see if their brains - with 'fact power' - could beat a calculator!

Students of the Week!
Congratulations to these Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade students for earning Student of the Week and showing the Marion Way!
#starryinspire #misdinspire





Something new for Starry that started this week is another PBIS incentive.
It is called Student of the Week! Each week, each class will be assigned one of the Marion Way expectations of Respect, Responsibility, Safety, or Integrity and their teachers will nominate one student who went above and beyond with that expectation. That student will be Student of the Week!
Student of the Week winners will receive a certificate, have their name read on the announcements, and will have their pictures posted on the front bulletin board for the following week! Stay tuned!

Kindergartners are learning about Motion in Science. Today Mrs. Young's class used different amounts of force to roll balls fast and slow and talked about the effect of gravity on objects.

Starry students are working towards another school wide celebration!
