Happy Thanksgiving to all of our McVey families who celebrate! This Thanksgiving, we are thankful for these wonderful second-grade authors who recently wrapped up their ELA unit on fairy tales. The unit ended with a culminating activity that had the students create their own fairy tales using Flipgrid. Students were then able to share their stories with their classmates. The audiences really.........gobbled up these wonderful creations. Who needs Disney when we have these fantastic fairy tale writers??
On November 8th, the fifth Graders tool on the wilderness at Project Adventure. Working together, they were able to successfully manage nature and a variety of challenges. Working in groups, they moved through a series of hands-on activities designed to develop communication, cooperation, trust, and problem-solving skills in an atmosphere of safety, respect, and fun. Participants are guided in making connections between these activities and "real-life" situations. Teachers report a positive impact on classroom climate, student performance, and interpersonal dynamics when these activities are reinforced in the classroom.
Pumpkin Picking Perfection
On Wednesday 10/25, McVey’s Pre-K and Kindergarten classes ventured outdoors to partake in some pumpkin picking. The students enjoyed games such as cornhole and a scavenger hunt, and each got to select a beautiful plump pumpkin.
A Howling Good Time-
On Monday, Oct. 30th, McVey students enjoyed another terrific Halloween Howl! The Gym was full of children and parents rocking along with the DJ, and the cafeteria was home to pizza, fresh popcorn, and a whole host of other delicious treats. As always, the Spooky Walk in the APR stole the show! This year’s Hogwarts theme was a hit with everyone who was brave enough to venture through its haunted hallways.
