Fun Discovery During Recess

Students in Mrs. Lines’ first grade class made a fun discovery during their recess time. Students noticed a grasshopper on the playground and gathered to see it. Once recess was over they placed it safely in the grass and went back to their classroom. A discussion about grasshoppers led to students researching information. Their favorite fact is that a grasshopper is that it can jump between ten to twenty times its body length! Great job first graders!

Book Vending Machine

Recently, our first group of students from Jefferson were rewarded with tokens to get a book from our new vending machine. Students can earn tokens for the machine by doing a great job on work, being kind, following the WARREN acronym, and many other ways. Congratulations to our students that already earned tokens!
