The 1st Graders were SO excited to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with the Kindergartners before Spring Break. We created our own bingo cards, allowing us to work on our fine motor skills, manipulating objects within boundaries, and becoming game masters. We finished our party with some treats and a story!

Say the problem
Think of solutions
Explore the consequences
Pick the best solution

At La Farge Elementary, we use PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) as a way to teach and reward positive behaviors. Each month, we have an assembly to celebrate and reinforce the behaviors being taught, acknowledge students and classes, and to have fun as a school community. This month, these students were chosen for doing a good job at handing strong emotions. Great job to all of our La Farge Elementary students. We are so proud of you using our Wildcat 4 (Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind)!
