Students haven't been able to go out for recess in a long time and finally we had our 1st day of our door recess this week. The kids were really excited to be outside. Hopefully, we will have many sunny days from now until the end of year! Please remind your child to play safe at recess by not playing rough or putting their hands on others. Thank you for your help.

Focus on Student Learning
Students in Mrs. Anderson's 1st grade class used the chromebooks to type their shared research papers into a Google presentation. They look like high schoolers!
Ms. Goldman's kindergarten students where working on clapping out
syllables and then in small groups taking turns deciding how
many syllables each word had on the picture cards.

Artist of the Week
Mason Cockerham
Our 3rd graders were introduced to the artist Vincent Van Gogh. We recreated the painting Wheat field with Crows and discussed how artists show space and movement in their work. The students began with the horizon line and they learned that when objects get closer to the horizon they get smaller. Next we used oil pastels to make our lines stand out, and then we painted with watercolor. Mason Cockerham was selected by Mrs. Sperk for his wonderful painting. Mason is a 3rd grade student in Mrs. Geisler's class. This is his second year at Groveport Elementary. He has a younger sister, Khloe who is in first grade. He enjoys drawing, baseball and riding his bike. Mason's favorite things to draw include dinosaurs and his family. Congratulations Mason for being our Artist of the Week!
