Modelling the digestive system

This is my digestive system.  I made the small organs out of spaghetti, the gull bladder is made of gum balls, the poop is plasticine, and the stomach is made of a balloon.

Mrs. Leiske's busy fall

It's been an incredibly busy fall! School is off to a great start and I have another fantastic group of kids.  I thought that I would share the pink award and merit awards that one student wrote out for me. This student wrote me out a pink award for "finishing all my school work" and the yellow one says " I love you Mrs. Leiske".  I was so thrilled to see this student writing phonetically.  I know that merit awards have been a part of of the Savanna School culture for a very long time.  It is also exciting and rewarding to know that they are still inspiring for students.

New this fall we started an at home reading program.  As a parent, I appreciate the incentive for getting our children to focus on reading.  As a staff at school, it is very exciting to see reading encouraged more at home.

Have a great fall!

Stories on the iPad.

I like reading stories on the iPad. My favorite is Little Red Riding Hood. I like showing my kindergarten friends the stories. Cole (K)

Art and iPads

We are learning to use the iPads in Mr. Young's art class. 

We have used some really cool things so far.
