A Lesson in Perseverance
From the book The Glorious Flight: Across the Channel by Alice Provensen and Martin Provensen, Mrs. DeSa's second graders learned about the perseverance and ingenuity of aviator Louis Blériot, who was the first person to fly across the English Chanel. Students then challenged their own ingenuity by creating paper airplanes designs.




Ancient Celebration
First graders commemorate their year of studying ancient history by learning about the Jewish holidays that where established throughout that time period. A big thanks to Marci Coulter who help lead the festive activities.
