I Love to Read Week Finale
Today we concluded I Love to Read Week with some fun activities involving all students in Kindergarten-12th grade. During the afternoon, students participated in jungle games, created a bookmark and went on a safari, did some buddy reading, and listened to the final story from the Montana Treasure State Reading book series. Last, all students went out and enjoyed some recess time together!
Special thanks to the staff for their efforts to make this fun opportunity possible for our students. Secondly, kudos to our older students as they all were exceptional big buddies and great examples for our younger students (and they had fun, too!)!
More photos will be on our Facebook page!

Those pesky leprechauns avoided all of our students' traps and made a mess of many classrooms! On a positive note, they did leave some fun notes and treats!

Today's chilly morning was warmed by a gift of books. A team of authors worked with the Sunburst Schools librarian to get a book for every 7-12th grade student. Because of the way the were delivered, Mrs. Bergstrom (inspired by the Johnny Cash lunchbox Cadillac song) brought them to school in small batches in her lunch bags. The high school staff worked together to label gift bags and wrap books. Homeroom ended with every student receiving a book for their home libraries. The smiles in the halls show how reading has the power to brighten dreary days.

In this lesson, 3rd grade students saw that by learning to think about pushes and pulls — forces — they can accomplish extraordinary things! In the activity, Hopper Popper, students made a folded piece of cardboard jump high in the air, propelled by the pulling force of a rubber band. We discussed the forces involved in making this “Hopper Popper” jump.
