How do you make reading even more fun? Mix it with some singing and movement! Kindergartners in Mrs. Nugent's class enjoyed some small group time in the hallway skipping and moving to songs before stopping to read lists of words.

Fourth and fifth graders at North Jefferson brought learning to life with some fun arcade games they designed and built! Afterwards, they enjoyed trying out each arcade game. As a culminating event, they invited their first grade buddies to visit their arcade to play their games. First graders made a donation in exchange for playing, which was in turn donated to the Animal Welfare Society of Jefferson County. Way to go, STARS!

After studying the brain, first graders at North Jefferson enjoyed some hands-on learning from a neuroscientist. He had students use their hands to get a visual idea of the size of the brain. He provided a brief description of what each area controls, mainly focused on the senses. He also brought in a sensory bag, that represented the weight and texture of a brain, that students were able to hold and manipulate. Afterwards, students made playdough models of the brain's centers. Thank you to Mr. Ryder for an awesome learning experience!
