Kurtz Elementary

Congratulations to Carter Sternfels and Brennan Kennedy for earning the Student in the Spotlight for April. Both boys have been tutoring 1st graders in math. Keep up the great work!

We are collecting cereal boxes this week for Community Sharing. Our goal is to collect 400 boxes. Thank you for your support.

Art students at Kurtz Elementary are grateful for the donation of beautiful paper from local watercolor artist and designer Kelly Ventura. First grade students recently completed a work of multi-media collage art inspired by Henri Matisse’s 1912 Goldfish painting. The addition of Ventura’s lovely floral, natural motifs and gestural patterned papers added the perfect touch to their finished work!

Kindergarten students love tech time. They are learning to use chrome books and computer mice.

First graders were invited to visit Village Dental in Milford last week. Every year, Village Dental transforms the office into an amazing theme full of costumed characters, props and special activities to teach healthy dental habits. This year the theme was Lego! This is by far one of our favorite field trips! We toured the dental office and learned the importance of dental hygiene and how to keep our mouths healthy! Not only does this field trip encourage lifelong healthy habits and supports the first grade health/science unit called Personal Health and Wellness, it also helps us build community connections. Thank you, Village Dental!

Kindergarten Orientation is at 6:00 in the cafeteria here at Kurtz Elementary. You can find more information on this link: https://5il.co/176a8.

First graders love to hear books read out loud. Happy March is Reading Month!
