Sexton Mountain is an Active School

Being active throughout the day is important for both children and adults.  Not only does it promote a healthy physical lifestyle, but it also helps our focus and attention during class.  We make sure to take lots of breaks throughout the day.  We've been taking advantage of the beautiful weather and playing on the field a few times a week.

Details, Details, Details

In writing we have been focused on drawing pictures and adding details to tell a story.

 
In reading, we have been practicing reading the pictures in fiction and nonfiction books.  We can learn so much by looking carefully at the details in the pictures.

When we drew our self portraits we paid close attention to the details of our features.
