Some pretty amazing things are happening in Mrs. Garrity’s classroom! On Friday, she and her students celebrated a fantastic first quarter of school by creating their very own Reading Tree! 🌳📖

Mrs. Garrity has been sharing a love for reading by taking advantage of the wonderful resources available through our local public library!

Through the Missouri Evergreen system, more than 50 libraries across the state work together to share books and resources. Students can search for books they’re interested in, request them through our local library, and enjoy reading them right in their classroom!

The REALLY impressive part is that Mrs. Garrity’s class has already checked out and read 132 books from our local library! 📚

To celebrate all that reading, students created a colorful Reading Tree, with each leaf representing a special category:

💛 Yellow Leaves: Books connected to our monthly character words.

💚 Green Leaves: Fiction books.

❤️ Red Leaves: Nonfiction books.

Thank you to Mrs. Garrity for going above and beyond to bring books into her classroom, encourage young readers, & show her students just how much fun reading can be!

🐣 Exciting things are happening in Mrs. Garrity’s elementary classroom at FALC!

Students are learning about the life cycle of quail through a hands-on egg-hatching project!

This week, students completed their first round of candling, examining eggs for signs of development. They’ve been making predictions, recording observations, and counting down the days until hatching!

Students are hopeful that as many as 30 quail will hatch! While that may be an optimistic prediction, it has provided a great opportunity to practice collecting data and comparing predictions with actual results.

The learning won’t stop when the quail hatch! Students plan to use the proceeds from selling the quail to purchase a larger hydroponic garden, creating even more hands-on learning opportunities.

👏 A great example of Mrs. Garrity bringing science, math, and real-world learning together in her classroom!

We can’t wait to see how many quail hatch! 🐣🌱

Fredericktown R-1 : Fredericktown R-I needs your support.

Fredericktown R-I has joined fellow MAAA school districts in sharing information about the potential impact of state funding decisions on our local schools.

If funding for Missouri public schools is not restored, Fredericktown R-I could face an estimated $793,000 reduction in state funding.

Our schools need our community to stay informed and engaged. Please take a few minutes to read the joint letter below to learn more about what is happening and how community members can stay involved.
