Our newcomer ML students (students who have been in the country less than two years) took a trip to Rocksteady Pizza Parlour. We spent several weeks learning food and restaurant vocabulary, how to read and ask questions about a menu, and how to order food in English. This was such a great experience for them! #WarsawInspires

We also discussed the process of changing a solid to liquids and the healthy benefits of juicing. #WarsawInspires

A group of 1st graders earned a prize in their Library special by working hard to follow instructions, be respectful and keep the library a clean and happy environment. After earning 10 points for great behavior, they earned a "Stuffy Sleepover" in the library. Students excitedly dropped off their stuffies on a Thursday, left them overnight for a slumber party, and then picked them up on Friday during their Library special, where they got to introduce their stuffy to the class, and received a "photo album of all the fun things their stuffy's got to do during the sleepover. The beloved stuffies had a chance to read, color, look at the fish, and play with legos! #WarsawInspires
