The 4th grade Q3 writing prompt is presented as a persuasive essay to convince someone to try a new food. Emma Beyer, originally from Wisconsin, jumped on the opportunity to convince her teacher, Mrs. Birch, and her classmates to try a KRINGLE. None of them had ever heard of the treat. Emma went into great lengths to teach the class about it. She even stood in front of the class and gave a short speech on why they should try it.
If you do not know, a Kringle is the "state pastry of Wisconsin" and is essentially a really big danish-style pastry. Today is Emma's birthday, and her class is celebrating with a HUGE, straight from Wisconsin, Kringle! It's delicious!

Students in Mrs. Bridges' first grade class, and Mr. Berger's fifth grade class worked together on a sound lesson over the past three days. The final activity was for students to make a sound code, having objects represent a letter to spell a word using only sounds.
Miss Indie - a therapy dog, visited AGR today, shown here in Mrs. Minavio's 1st grade class. It looks like students are hugging themselves, but they are actually showing what to do if a strange dog is ever near them, they need pretend they're a tree and put their head down.
Congratulations to Grayson Cox, Ian Balino, and Kaedyn Sutherland - our spelling bee participants from last night. We are proud to announce that Grayson took 1st place, and Ian took 2nd place. Thanks to Mrs. Marini for all her work in preparing for the bee. Congratulations!!

Mrs. Sheads' 5th Grade class is pictured here investigating volume by filling different sized boxes with a base, and then counting the layers. This helps to understand the formula for finding volume! What a "filling" activity! Hustle and Heart Set us Apart!
