Grandparents' Day at Barnett

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

Grandparents' Day with the third grade at Barnett Elementary is always a fun day for third graders and their grandparents, not to mention the parents that come to watch the program.  Not only is  it a fun day, but it helps students become more aware of the loving community around them, as they learn in social studies.  After a lunch provided by Barnett's own lunch ladies, some students took their grandparents on a tour of the school, while others sat and talked with their grandparents who had come for the special day.

Principal's 200 Club Winners

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

 

Barnett Elementary Students have been working hard to earn Brag Notes. When a student earns a brag note their name is added to the Principal’s 200 Club Board. Brag notes can be earned by making good choices, working hard in school, and being a good friend or helper just to name a few things. Once the board is full of student names we have a drawing for books and prizes. We are filling up our Principal’s 200 Club Board faster than ever! Thanks for making so many good choices Barnett Bulldogs! Here are some of our recent winners.

Barnett Elementary recently held their First Annual Parent Night where parents could come meet with grade levels to receive instruction on how to help their children at home with reading, writing, and math. Teachers were excited to share with parents ways to check for understanding when reading, ideas to get kids writing at home, and how to solve real world math problems. Parents appreciated handouts, games, and strategies they could use at home with their children. Prizes were handed out to families as a thank you for attending.
