Salem School District -

4th graders who met their October PBIS goal of no missing work were able to participate in choice rooms! They got to choose between a movie, choice tech time, or an art and board game room! We’re so proud of them!

As a part of their Civics Unit, 8th graders have completed a primary election to narrow the candidate field for 8th grade representatives from 29 down to 15.

The election will take place on November 7th!

"Students first made estimates of how many beans were in the bag, then we read the story Jack and the Beanstalk. Students then worked in small groups to count and sort beans into groups of 10s and if they had ten 10s they made a 100. Throughout the lesson we learned that 100 can be grouped into ten 10s called a hundred. We added all of our work mats up and all together we had 1,159 magic beans!" - Mrs. Bruni and her second grade class

Clock fractions!⏰ Ms. Schneider's 5th grade students got to use a spinner to generate 2 fractions. Then they needed to write down an addition equation with those fractions, and solve! The first player to completely fill all three clocks won the game!

Thank you to all of our Salem families who volunteered at our Sleep in Heavenly Peace Event this past weekend! Our Salem students met new friends, learned some carpentry skills and had a blast doing a good deed! They also got to learn sanding, staining + drilling, and were engaged and working hard!
