Who said you can't go sledding indoors? Ms. Conte's 2nd grade class is burning some energy sledding indoors in P.E. with Ms. Allen. We're so happy to have our scholars back in the building for in-person learning today. Happy Friday everyone!

Here's a glimpse into Mrs. Alexander's E-learning Snow Day: Yesterday, during Speech/OT Group with Ms. Kohut & Mrs. Kirkham, students listened to a story called the "Magic Hat" & decorated a magic hat. After they were done, students got a chance to burn some energy with a movement break called "Animals in Action" with Jack Hartmann. Awesome job Mrs. Alexander's class!

February is Black History Month! Yesterday, our 3rd grade scholars from Mrs. Adams' class read an excerpt from "Harriet Tubman & the Underground Railroad" by Terry Miller Shannon. Then they answered questions on the passage. Way to go 3rd Grade scholars!

Yesterday in CAPE class with Mr. Jordan, our kindergarten friends from Ms. Cristelli's class participated in a scavenger hunt. The students were searching for items of different shapes, colors, & sizes to create a sculpture. Then they put a piece of fabric on top of it to make a snow blanket. We love the creativity here at 21st Century.

Good afternoon District 163 Families, Our vaccine event scheduled for Thursday, February 3 has been moved to Friday, February 4th from 2-7pm at Michelle Obama School. All scheduled appointments will be moved to the new date. There is still room to register. https://events.juvare.com/IL-IDPH/ltuzz/?year=2022&week=5

Here's a sneak peek into Mrs. Petrulis E-learning Snow Day with her 3rd Grade Class: Yesterday was Ground Hog Day so 3rd grade worked on a Ground Hog Day vocabulary activity where they had to match the word on the left with its definition on the right. They did a great job! You ROCK 3rd grade!

Let's take a look into Ms. Ansburg's 1st class. Students were reading a story on Raz Kids titled, "How to Make a Snow Person." Students listened to the story, read the story, & then took the quiz. After they were done, students made a snow person either inside with indoor materials or made a snow person outdoors. Then students came back & talked about their snow person with the class. Awesome job 1st grade!

Just because it's a snow storm, doesn't mean learning has to stop. Here's a glimpse into E-learning Snow Day 1 with Ms. Mulderink's Kindergarten Class. Yesterday, our kindergarten friends practiced counting down to the 100th day of school with 10 frames. Yesterday was Day 98! Then our little meteorologists determined what the weather was for the day. Lastly, our students learned about courage & overcoming fear by listening to a read aloud with Howard B. Wigglebottom. Way to go kindergarten friends!
