Mrs. Amanda's 4th Grade students practice identifying types of figurative language by reading various books and identifying figurative language then creating a flipbook and illustrating various non literal sayings. The "timed" game Kahoot, played on the smartboard, is an exciting way to review these skills and prepare for a test! Students are learning that not only is figurative language used in our daily speech, but writers also use it to make their writing more vivid!
STAR STUDENT: SAGE SCHOPP
Congratulations to Sage Schopp for being selected as Mrs. Sonjia's 2nd grade Star Student. Sage was chosen because she has demonstrated perseverance in the classroom. Officer Donald Crispell presented Sage with a certificate and water bottle filled with goodies. Way to go, Sage!

West Side Elementary is ready for the Eagles basketball game tonight in their first round of the state tournament! Students made signs and cheered for the boys in their walk through prior to dismissal today. Go West Side!
West Side Senior Boys Basketball got some extra encouragement for tonight's game from WSE this afternoon! Go West Side!
West Side School does monthly fire drills, and yesterday they paid off. Our 5th & 6th grade building had some smoke from a heat and air unit that set off the fire alarm, so the building was evacuated. The faculty did an excellent job of making sure everyone was safe, and the kids conducted themselves very responsibly. Thank you to our local fire department for their quick response time, and for the local heating and air company for already replacing the unit.
West Side Juniors took the state mandated ACT on Tuesday. A community member donated two Sonic gift cards for a random drawing
for students taking this test. Kendra Harness and Caden Brown were the lucky winners! The Junior class is thankful for the school and community support.
