Mrs. Swisher's first graders explored materials in Science from the perspective of how much light they let through. They worked together and sorted materials and determined if they were transparent, translucent, or opaque. As a culminating activity they made Paper Stain Glass and looked at how light shined through it.

PBIS Volunteers Needed
We could use a little help. Our school-wide PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) program is a system where students are recognized for showing PRIDE. The Leo Cart is a mobile treasure chest that roams the hallways to pop in and reward students. We would love to have a few parent volunteers help out with the Leo Cart. Spend the day with the Leo Cart or maybe just one grade.
Volunteers need to have clearances on file with the King's Highway main office. Please see the attached letter (below).
Interested in helping out with PBIS? Contact: Ms. Mayan - mayanc@casdschools.org

The King's Highway Student Safeties, led by Ms. Ollis, visited La Mancha Animal Rescue to learn about the work they do for the community. Students got to see the horses, goats, cat condo, and numerous dogs at the shelter. Part of their volunteer work was to help socialize a few puppies through playtime—a very important job that the King's Highway team took on. In addition to their visit, students collected and donated essential supplies (food, cleaning supplies, towels...) to the shelter.

Students in Mrs Pandosh's kindergarten class cashed in their filled star chart for a sweet treat. The star chart is part of the khs whole class PBIS system.
Today, students in Mrs. Pandosh kindergarten class at Kings Highway collected data on a sampling of adults in the building asking the question do you like spiders. It was close. Seven of the people asked like spiders and nine of the people asked did not. Officer Ollis was even asked if he likes spiders :)
