Get ready for a sweet day of learning! Today, everyone is invited to show their autumn spirit by dressing in candy corn colors: yellow, orange, and white! 🟡🟧⚪

Here is a quick peek at the fun learning activities we have planned:

📝 Literacy: Students will put their creativity to work writing autumn "acrostic poems" and fall short stories shaped into candy corn triangles.

🔢 Math: We’ll be using candy corn pieces as hands-on math counters for addition. Plus, we'll use the pointed tips of candy corn as "alligator mouths" to master greater than and less than ($>$ and $

🌾🍂 Scarecrow Day was a whole lot of FUN at Whiteknact! 🍂🌾

Our crew really understood the assignment today! From flannels and overalls to straw hats and a little extra hay, our hallways were filled with some pretty spectacular scarecrows!

We love seeing our Whiteknact crew go all out to make learning fun and create special memories for our students!

Who knew we had so many outstanding scarecrows at Whiteknact?!

🚌Celebrating National School Bus Safety Week! ⚓

In honor of School Bus Safety Week, our Whiteknact Anchor Council kicked off their first project by recognizing some very special members of our school community, our amazing bus drivers and monitors!

Every day, our bus staff work hard to keep our students safe, and we wanted to make sure they know just how much they are appreciated!

Our Anchor Council members took time to write heartfelt thank-you cards for each driver and monitor. This afternoon, every member of our bus staff will receive a small gift and a personal note of appreciation from their Whiteknact family! 🎁💌

Thank you to our incredible bus staff for all that you do! Your dedication, patience, and care do not go unnoticed!

What a wonderful way for our Anchor Council to kick off their year by spreading kindness and appreciation throughout our school community! 🚌⚓💙

🎃📚 We’re jumping right into Reading & Math Week with The Great Pumpkin Plot Day! 📏🧡

Whiteknact is looking extra festive today as staff and students sport their best orange and pumpkin gear! 🎃

📖 In reading, we’re enjoying The Legend of Spookley the Square Pumpkin, exploring important messages about celebrating our differences, embracing what makes us unique, and learning about shapes!

📏 In math, we’re getting hands-on with pumpkins! Students are measuring circumferences, weighing pumpkins, and graphing class data on charts. Who knew pumpkins could teach us so much? 🎃📊

🎶 And the fun doesn’t stop there! Each day, our incredibly talented music teacher, Mr. Rachdouni, shares a Mystery Song, a clever parody of a popular tune! Classes put their listening skills to the test as they try to guess the original song. 🎤🎵
