Around Amity Elementary
We have had so much fun! The Kindergarten classrooms have been building gingerbread houses this week. This is a follow up activity to our 3 week lesson on shapes, including solid shapes. The Kindergartners built the walls, roofs, and made really cool trees. They finished the project by decorating their houses with lots of candy. It was great to hear how they planned to use different shapes to create tables, lights and sleds! Our Kindergarten rooms smelled so delicious!
Polar Cats Running Club
Calling all 6th grade students who are interested in joining a running club. During the months of December, January, and February the Polar Cats Running Club will be meeting after school on Mondays and Wednesdays to run around the Deer Park community.
