Greenwood's Theater Arts class travelled to Penn State University on Saturday to participate in a technical theater workshop. They got a backstage tour of the facility, interacted with the tech crew and set pieces for the upcoming production of "Crazy for You" on the PSU stage, and had the opportunity to learn from students and professors about lighting, sound, and makeup techniques.
First grade has been researching and studying career paths for their future. At the end of the month, they will write an entry about what they want to be when they grow up. This entry will then be published and turned into a book! This week, they had a local coffeehouse, Shine, visit. They learned all kinds of things needed to run a business. They also designed some coffee sleeves that the shop will use for their customers!
Our Elementary Book Fair is in full swing! Students will be shopping from now until Tuesday, October 21st. You can send money along with them to school or create an eWallet account for them to shop cash-free at the Book Fair. This year we are also trying to raise funds to provide a book for every student in the school. You can donate to Share the Fair anytime during Book Fair Week. For additional information about our Book Fair visit: www.scholastic.com/fair
Mrs. Woodard's American History 1 class took their learning a step further by comparing and contrasting historically significant people, places, and events from America's earliest colonies using Venn Diagrams. The best part...they got to demonstrate their learning OUTSIDE using chalk! Learning is way more fun in the sun!
Please contact Mrs. Brummer if you have any questions about Career Planning or Internships. hbrummer@greenwoodsd.org
To wrap up our time learning about social health and practicing communication skills, we celebrated with a class game day! The students got the opportunity to improve their social health by having some fun with their classmates and a chance to identify different styles of communication that were used while playing the games.

Special thanks to retired second grade teacher, Lorraine Cameron, for sharing her time, talent, this beautiful arrangement, and passion for gardening with some second grade students today.
Third grade had a creative opportunity to paint with flowers from our school garden! They used flowers that our fourth graders grew by seed last spring. Everyone agreed that life feels better in the garden!

It was great to see so many GWDES families at Back to School Night tonight! This partnership is what makes our school such wonderful place to learn and grow! Thanks for being on the Wildcat team. Together we'll make this the best year yet.
Our garden is blossoming! Today kindergarten, first grade and second grade picked over 40 pounds of produce! We had kiddos digging potatoes and picking okra, green beans, and peppers. Some grades also planted some new veggies in hopes of another successful growing season this fall. Check out our garden cart at parent pick up for an opportunity to take some fresh produce home! Also, make sure to check those backpacks as we have some friends filling up their bags to share with their families too!
