It is difficult to stay on top of the latest technology and how your student is using it. Especially with apps on their devices. Here is a guide for parents and teachers on the latest apps and what students use them for: https://smartsocial.com/app-guide-parents-teachers/
Shari Johnson and Susan Mann's preschool class are published authors!!! The students wrote a book called "Where Are You Going" and the idea on how the book came about was rather interesting. Shari Johnson during one of her morning routine lessons rolled a ball around on the floor to each student and asked them where they were going. Each student would respond differently. One of the answers the students said was that there were going to the store. From there, Shari Johnson asked the students what they were going to the store to get and that is where the fun began. The students went to the store to buy items for a party. Each student named their items from cupcakes, party hats and punch and they also illustrated their own pictures as well. Parents from the class came to hear the story as each student stood proud and stated loud their part of the book. Congratulations to the preschool class on becoming published authors and a huge thank you goes out to Shari Johnson and Susan Mann for all of their hard work and dedication on this project!

A group of Rockhill third grade students enjoyed a pasta party with homemade cavatelli and sauce with Mrs. Searfoss. This was a culminating activity after reading the book Granny Torelli Makes Soup. In this story by Eileen Spinelli, the main characters learned how to make homemade soup and pasta with Granny Torelli while she shared valuable life lessons with them. John Babb, Dallas Curtice, Cicero Davis, Frankie Dennison, Kenny Johnson, Merric Miller and Khylar Nordquest worked on literacy skills while enjoying this realistic fiction selection, and also discovered they love cavatelli pasta.

Jordan Schwartz competed this past weekend in the State GEOGRAPHY BEE Competition held in Columbus. The State Geography Bee went very well for Jordan on Friday. He was one of 14 students (out of 101 students competing) to get all eight of his questions correct in the preliminary round. Unfortunately, he was one of four students eliminated in the tie-breaker round that followed, so he finished tied for 11th and just missed the 10-person final round held on the big stage.
Bee officials said it is the only the 2nd or 3rd time in 27 years that a perfect 8-for-8 didn't automatically qualify for the 10-person final. Indeed, in our 3 years of being at the State Geo Bee only 29 of 301 total competitors have gotten 8's (7 two years ago, 8 last year, and 14 this year.).
This year's champion was again Saket Pochiraju from Lewis Center, who has won it three years in a row. (He's an 8th grader and he won't be back, but his little brother made it to State as a 4th grader this year!)
