Frances Drake Elementary
CC Video.MOVGrades 4 + 5 made a movie during an enrichment with Miss Karli! The title of the movie is Don’t Be Shell-fish and is all about being selfless. They worked so hard on their productions and we are proud of them!
Frances Drake will be starting a basketball enrichment for Grade 2 on Monday afternoons during Choice Time (4:40-5:10). Interested students should do their best to attend each week to earn a special party at the end of the enrichment. This activity will be offered to other grade levels throughout the school year.
The kids earned a party so we created a workshop where they could make their own toys! We made paper stuffed animals, yarn monsters and fortune tellers.
For a science experiment, we made unpoppable bubbles during our Early Release program!
Fall means all things apples! We made our own apple buddies during our morning craft!
We have some great builders here at Creative Choices!
