@Millar_S I wish you were there reporting! It's so hard to find out scores. Hoping I can find the Lockport scores to follow.

First grade students had a blast using shadow puppets and flashlights to explore how shadows are made! #pawsome58

1st Graders had fun with @isleofartists’s “Strike A Pose” Like A Sculpture Lesson that Avery even tried to get Little Mr. Belonio to pose like the Lincoln Memorial. 😂 #dg58pride #dg58learns @1stgradefun

We learned all about dairy during our Ag in the Classroom lesson and the kids made butter! 🐮 It tasted "Moo"velous!! #pawsome58 #dg58learns

It's a busy time of year and today was no exception! We read to Scout and Samson from the Pawsitive Therapy Troupe, Avery shared her star poster, we decorated an ornament for our Celebrations Tree, and learned about Suits of Armor during PIA. Phew! #pawsome58 #dg58pride

So much fun when we have a Mystery Reader visit our class. Especially when they read to us in an Australian accent!! #pawsome58

@Hillcrest4th @Hillcrest_58 @DGDistrict58 Way to go big buddies!!

[Hillcrest School @Hillcrest_58]

It’s always a great day when the Hound Dogs get to welcome in a few furry family members to practice our reading! #pawsome58 #dg58pride
