5th grade to Washington, D.C.!

Last week our fifth graders had the amazing opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. One of the highlights of the trip was our visit to the Whitehouse and the students were buzzing with excitement! Listen as a few of our students answer the following questions: "If you could ask President Obama one question, what would it be?" and "What would you tell the President about Club Boulevard School?"

Kindergarteners love books!

Listen as students from Mrs. Reuther's kindergarten class share why they like the Media Center and why they like reading!

Second Grade Electives

Second graders have participated in a wide range of electives  on Friday afternoons so far this year. Thanks to all the parents who have volunteered their time and talents to teach a class! Take a look at the pictures from the electives Miss Stitsinger has taught: cooking, team-building, library scavenger hunt, and line dancing. Who knows what will be next?!

Mrs. Archer's class visited the Media Center last week to research information about inventors. First, students learned about the wonderful online resources available  free to NC students on NCWiseOwl. Then students got to work using books and Grolier Online Encyclopedia to complete their research.
