Farmdale Flashback
Posted by Alicia Jay on 11/1/2024 4:00:00 PMFarmdale Flashback - November 1st
From Mrs. Pearson, Principal
What is happening at Farmdale?
Your child attends a monthly “Mini Meet” with their grade level led by Mrs. DeArment, Mrs. Erb, and myself. This month we focused on how to Be Engaged, one of our schoolwide Be the One expectations. Ask your child how they can use their brain, hands, mouth, and eyes to increase engagement. Increased engagement= increased learning=success!
At this month’s Falcon Friday assembly we held our first ever Paper Airplane Competition. Each class was challenged to use their STEAM skills (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) to design a paper airplane that would fly the farthest. At the assembly, each class flew their airplane and the winner was… Miss Malriat’s Second Grade Class.
