Balloons Over Broadway (2nd grade)

The second graders learned about the history of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and created their own balloons based on a book character. The creative and proud second graders paraded through the school to show off their hard work! 

Check out the photos!


Happy Thanksgiving Break!

Have a wonderful, restful Thanksgiving break!
We will see you back at school on Monday, November 29.

 

4th Grade Cultures of South Carolina

Fourth grade students enjoyed learning about cultures from South Carolina history through activities and foods. Students participated in: making butter from cream and salt; making pomander balls from oranges, cloves and cinnamon; weaving paper to simulate basket weaving; and Native American games. 

Many thanks to all of the parents that donated food and materials as well as to those that volunteered their time!

Week 3 of AVID @ Upper Campus

The AVID organization focus for this week at Upper Campus is to charge chromebooks each night and bring them to school each day. Students should find a specific place to charge each night and pack their chromebook each morning in their backpack. This is an organizational strategy that continues developing and using Organizational Tools to develop students' ability to organize themselves and their time. This week's focus  extends last week's challenge for making sure students have all of their school materials with them when they arrive. The goal for this week is for all students to have a fully charged chromebook for a great day of learning!

Thanks for supporting our efforts with teaching and learning and being an AVID school. AVID means "moving up through our your own hard work".
