Today in the IBES hallways students were able to watch a Macy's Day Parade presented by the 3rd graders. The IBES 3rd graders paraded the halls with their own designed and created balloons. Leading up to this exciting event the 3rd graders read about the history of the Macy's Day Parade. The students read "Balloons over Broadway," which taught them about how Tony Sarg's assisted with the transition from using real animals to balloons in the famous Macy's Day Parade #ibtigerpride
As we approach Thanksgiving Break, students continue to work very hard to act with kindness. The Kindness Rock Garden and Kindness Tree will continues to grow. #ibtigerpride

Along with the "Spirit of Giving" all students will meet with me this week for our grade level Tiger Trait Assembly. The focus will be the importance of acting with kindness. Please be sure to ask your child about their exciting assembly with the principal.

Mrs. Jatkowski's Bakeshop II Community Hour has been producing some AMAZING treats this quarter, including brownies, cheesecake, cinnamon rolls, apple pie cake, and macarons. When asked what they like most about Bakeshop (besides the treats!), students say they love that the class is student-centered, always interactive, and that they have freedom to try new recipes in an atmosphere that's built on trust and a true sense of community.
