Greendale Elementary shows Officer TJ some love for School Resource Officer (SRO) Appreciation Day. Thanks for doing a great job keeping us all safe.
First grade students have been learning the digraphs "sh" and "ch." They used shaving cream to practice spelling words with these sounds. It was such a fun way to combine a sensory activity with our phonics lesson!
