Students in Mrs. Catellini’s 2nd-grade class at Mennies had a wonderful time rotating through MLK Student Centers! They worked together on engaging activities, including:
Discussing character traits of Martin Luther King Jr.
Coloring bookmarks featuring his inspiring message.
Solving hands-on puzzles with different shapes.
Listening to a story about Dr. King.
Completing a sorting activity about peace makers and peace breakers.
The students left inspired and are excited to continue spreading peace and kindness throughout Mennies.
Our kindergarten writers in Mrs. Brown’s class at Mennies had a blast exploring writing topics this week!
The lesson began with students learning about all the topics their teacher enjoys writing about. Then, they worked in groups to discuss the topics they love and could write about. To keep the inspiration flowing, students created writing maps to store in their writing folders. These maps will be a helpful tool when they encounter writer’s block and need ideas.
The students were so excited to start writing about their favorite topics—what a great way to spark creativity and enthusiasm for writing!
This week Dallago’s favorite musician & singer, Yosi, came in for a multicultural performance!
Students were not only able to just sing and dance along - this time they also were able to view and listen to different instruments from around the world!
Instruments were from countries including Africa, Australia, India, Egypt, & more!
We learned how to say hello in many languages and closed out each assembly with a “friends around the world” song.
After holding 3 assemblies in the gym he went and held a sensory-friendly performance in one of our classrooms.
Thank you to Yosi for always being so friendly, welcoming, and accepting!

Around the room, students utilized flexible seating while working independently, with a partner, or in small groups. Math games added an extra layer of fun, making review sessions both engaging and effective.
Great job, Ms. Reese and students, for making math both meaningful and enjoyable!
