More pictures from Prairie West Kindergarten through 3rd grade Media Center students










In library the last two days, our Kindergarten through 3rd grade students heard two of our Iowa book award selections, "Sprout Branches Out" by Jessika Von Innerebner and "Farmhouse" by Sophie Blackall. After reading, the students watched a short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5OSHXIm3Lk from the author and illustrator about the illustrations in "Farmhouse". To conclude the day, students read, made illustrations similar to Sophie Blackall's, played memory based on "Sprout Branches Out" or did a Sprout activity page. Fun library days!









It’s amazing to see kindness and positivity filling our school every day. Let’s keep the love spreading through all of February at Prairie West!

The Prairie West Parent Group has been spreading a little extra sunshine around the school with the ‘Sunshine Cart’! Stocked with staffs’ favorites, students push the ‘Sunshine Cart’ around to classrooms where staff can receive a little pick-me-up each month!
Students can apply for this as a student leadership job! Thank-you to the sun-sational staff for all you do to brighten our students lives! ☀️
