We had a visit from Benny the Bobcat, Captains of Benton’s fall sports teams and our cheerleaders.

First grade is working on parts of 8 using the counting on strategy. When students use concrete manipulative, we try to organize objects using a tens frame. This allows students to visually see a group of 5, and then continue to count on.
Our preschoolers are establishing and practicing routines to get started with their school day.
It is a great way to build community and relationships between students and staff!
Our Second Graders made text to self connections with the story Chrysanthemum.
We took time to learn about wilting and blooming, and how we all can help one another bloom!
Third grade students participate in delivering the morning announcements. Announcements consist of breakfast for tomorrow, student birthdays, the Bobcat Pledge and the Pledge of Allegiance. The announcements are made over the loud speaker for all students to hear. They do an amazing job!
