It's Time for Some Fire Safety!

This week at SVN the third grade is learning about fire safety.  Today the Kansas City Fire Department came to SVN and gave the students a lesson over fire safety.  The KCFD brought their fire safety house and taught the students about the importance of having a fire escape route and working smoke alarms.

In the fire safety house students got to experience escaping a smoke filled room.  They learned to drop to the ground and crawl to safety.   Everyone is very excited about making a fire escape plan and checking their smoke alarms at home.

Food Power!

This year SVN took part in the University of Missouri Extension Food Power program.  Students went to different stations in the gym and learned about different body parts and how those body parts helped us with digestion.

Math Work Stations

This year in third grade we have been participating in math workstations.  Every Thursday we spend an hour engaged in math centers.  Two popular centers this year are the Smart Board workstation and the IPad workstation.  

Math workstations are a great way for students to continue to build on math skills previously taught.  It is also a great way to provide differentiated instruction for all students.
