Students in grade 2 learned about the famous dog race, The Iditarod, and then wrote about the things they found important. The wonderful drawings of the sled dogs really enhance their work!
Telling time is an important skill that is being mastered by our hard working 2nd graders. Number Corner is part of our Math day which involves discussing and investigating concepts in Math. Reading an analog clock is still important even though most are now digital.
Our preschool learners are always busy learning new things, which includes how wonderful books can be. Here they listen to a story and discuss the contents.
An impromptu activity and reminder about being mindful of our words and actions can have the most impact. Here a 2nd grade group talks about being kind. Being a leader can mean using kind words as a model.
**Announcement**
Graham Elementary dismissal will be held until 3:45 due to the tornado warning for St. Paris.
Our number one priority is keeping your students safe.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Our preschoolers recently made Kindness Rocks with positive thoughts to spread around our school grounds. They are spreading kindness to others with the hope it makes others happy to find them!
Students have been learning new dances in their Physical Education and Music classes. Today the student's in 4th grade got a surprise when their teacher's Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Tebbe joined in on the fun!

Science - 4th grade students used light bulbs, batteries, wires, motors and aluminum foils to create closed circuits. They explored with materials to see if they could make the light bulb and motor work.
We had a visit from Deputy Duke (dog) of the Champaign County Sheriff’s Office and his handler, Gretchen Lapp. She explained to the children the purpose of a therapy dog and what Duke’s role is with the sheriff’s department. They are scheduled to visit us again in the future!
Lost & Found - We have a collection of clothes in our Lost and Found area in the cafeteria. Please check to see if any of these items might belong to your child.
Math and Art can be combined to learn and create. Check out the grid artwork put together by some of our 3rd grade students that hang in the hallways!
The Coloring Club is one of many clubs that our students of all ages enjoy participating in for a creative outlet. What fun to display your artistic talents!
You just never know who or what might visit your classroom at Graham Elementary. Baby lambs stopped by to visit with some of our kindergarten students, and the children loved it!
Our first graders know all about love and what it means to them. Check out this beautiful display posted in the first grade pod during February - "the month of love".
More images from a day of Valentine fun on Friday!
This afternoon, it was all about the decorated boxes, the food, the games and the fun for the Valentine's Day parties! A huge thank you to the parents volunteers and the classroom teachers for providing the love to our children!
Party day is more than just Valentines for our 3rd graders. They used heart candy in Math class to figure up problems involving tables, charts, measurement, multiplication/division, fractions and graphing. That’s a whole lot of Math using one box of candy!
