Salem School District -

Mrs. McGrath's fourth grade class is getting ready for Forward Testing! Students reviewed skills in reading, math, science, and social studies. After reviewing skills students worked in their teams to play a fun game of Stinky Feet! This was a fun way to review for the test coming up in April!

Did you know it's Mario Day today?! Mrs. Braun's 4th graders said Mar. 10 looks like Mario! 😊 They had a little fun with a Mario themed brain break on this snowy day!

5K is learning about 3D shapes. This week, they played "Shape Detective." Students were given time to explore the classroom to find 3D shapes to fill their boards, bring the items back and discuss the shape attributes. Great work!!

During their plant unit in Mrs.McNeill's class they became expert food scientists! They were lucky enough to plant a variety of seeds, including tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers. They even got to plant some flowers; sunflowers, daisies, pansies and forget-me-nots. With the help of their grow light they should have seedlings in no time!! Stay tuned!

Salem School District will have regular in-person learning today. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

Students in Mrs. Kiefer's 3rd grade class worked on measuring the area of various sized rectangles. They first had to figure out how they could build a square that was exactly 100 square inches. Then they used that square to help them estimate the area of the colored rectangles and found the actual area of each one!
