Such an inspiring assembly this morning! Thank you, Patrick Dunning, for sharing The Signature Project with Wayside School! #SpartanLegacy @DPalaia

Last week’s STEM Day was all about ocean life! 🦀🐠🦈 After exploring the sea, we used pattern blocks to build the different creatures that live there. Check out the beautiful ocean scenes that students created! #SpartanLegacy @ASteckhahn @MrsKubaska1 @DPalaia @JaniceMcD85

We had a FIN-tastic time drawing up plans for mermaid traps after listening to the story “How to Catch a Mermaid” for our STEM Day last week! 💡🧜‍♀️ @ASteckhahn @MrsKubaska1 @JaniceMcD85 @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

Thursdays are for STEM during our Spartan Ready Summer Program! @ASteckhahn @MrsKubaska1 @JaniceMcD85 @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

This year’s 1st Grade auction prize Pool Party winners! @MrsONeill_Way @tgarrett013 @DPalaia

Our Poetry Celebration this morning was a big SUCCESS! 🎉 During our Poetry Unit, we learned about and then wrote 7 different types of poems! Afterwards, we chose our favorites to recite at a Poetry Reading for our families! Way to go, 1st Grade! @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

Hard to believe that these first graders will be all grown up before the next solar eclipse! We made the best of this special day by learning all we could about the eclipse, and the importance of keeping our eyes safe while viewing it! 🌚🌞@DPalaia #SpartanLegacy #Eclipse2024

Another fun-filled day in first grade! We had a Green Snack Party, attempted to capture a leprechaun, AND completed all sorts of fun St. Patrick’s Day math centers, including Lucky Charm Math! 🌈🍀 @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy #WaysideRocks

For St. Patrick’s Day, we focused our Mindfulness lesson on gratitude, and how important it is to notice even the little things that make us “lucky”! Check out our bowls full of lucky charms! ❤️⭐️🍀🌙🌈🎈@DPalaia #mindfulness #SpartanLegacy

The 4th graders who are a part of the Social Justice Program read to our class again this afternoon for the month of March. This time we listened to “Rescue & Jessica”. Such an inspiring true story about overcoming challenges and friendship! @DPalaia @KathyHackler #SpartanLegacy

What a special day at Wayside School! Thank you so much @KUFootball212 and @CoachGarrett53 for helping us celebrate National Read Across America Day by reading to our class this morning!📚 @DPalaia @tgarrett013 #ReadAcrossAmerica #WaysideRocks #SpartanLegacy

Happy Random Acts of Kindness Day! 💙🩵 @KMcHughGuidance @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy #RandomActsOfKindness

The 100th Day of School and Valentine’s Day all rolled into one! We had a whirlwind of a time yesterday celebrating love and being 100 days smarter! @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

Happy Valentine’s Day from my littlest love ❤️🫶

Another FIN-tastic 1st Grade trip to Jenkinson’s Aquarium! 🦭🐟 We were also able to do the Penguin Focus this year! Did you know that the majority of penguins only live in the southern hemisphere? These first graders do now! @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

As a part of Wayside’s new Social Justice Program, headed by @KathyHackler, 4th grade students visited our classroom this afternoon and presented a story about black history! Students then engaged in conversation about equal rights and fairness! @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

We had a Character Education Assembly this morning! Students who were listening, participating and supporting their peers got to lead the demonstrations! 🏀🏀🏀 @DPalaia @KMcHughGuidance #SpartanLegacy

We had a blast getting into character for our Community Helper Research Writing Project! Check us out behind the scenes with Mr. Pringle taking photos in front of the green screen! Stay tuned for the finished product! 🚓🍕🍎📚 @CoachPringle @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

From eating popsicles and snow cones to having snowball fights, check out what these 1st Graders think snowmen might do at night while we’re all fast asleep! ⛄️ @DPalaia #SpartanLegacy

We had a lot of fun learning about Syllable Division this week! Syllabication makes it so that these first graders can read just about any multi-syllable word (that contains sounds and spelling patterns we have learned to date, of course 😉)! @DPalaia @IMSEOG #SpartanLegacy
