Deputy Becky Rice-Kane delivered a Top Secret message to Mrs. Streb's first grade class!
The students were given a mission to do anything and everything it takes to solve and check tough words in their books.
Using the Units of Study in Reading, BLAST Foundations, and help from Rasheed, we will earn our Word Detectives Badges to become stronger readers and build strong literacy skills.
Thank you Deputy Kane for helping us sharpen our investigation skills, as well!

From all of us here at York Central School - We wish our families and neighbors a Happy Thanksgiving!

The first Thanksgiving occurred in 1621 in Plymouth, Massachusetts between a group of indigenous people and Pilgrims. The tradition is celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday in November.
Fourth grade students in Mrs. Crane's, Mrs. Lippold, and Mrs. Carrick's classes looked at the first Thanksgiving and what it might have been like. They were given a choice of projects to create to coincide with their unit study.
The students did a fantastic job. This is just a few of them we hope you will enjoy!

How do you review for a Science test?
Students in Mrs. Brubaker's Living Environment class created Shrinky Dink keychains with facts about cellular respiration and photosynthesis, the topic of their upcoming unit exam.
Shrinky Dinks is a popular children's art activity that shrinks down paper when baked in the oven.
The keychains will be a handy way for the students to review for their exam this week.
