#StartWithHello kicked off at FAWE today with students focusing on ways to "break the ice" with a friend who might seem lonely or isolated. Students chose topics that were easy and fun to talk about, such as their favorite food to eat. These topics help to find things in common to help make a new friend.
Start With Hello Kickoff Day is here! Today, students will learn all about why at FAWE, we start with hello. They will learn and practice 3 simple steps to help them feel more comfortable breaking the ice and having conversations with peers.
No matter how the cookie may crumble, FAWE Staff will always SAIL! Cookie treats were provided to help close out the week🍪💚🍪💙
Second grade wrapped up ELA Unit 1 Plant and Animal Habitats. The culminating project was to write a post card to a special friend. Mrs. Hollinger’s students wrote some neat new facts, addressed, stamped, and mailed our post cards c/o Ms. Guerra’s mailbox at FAWE. 💙💚 While some of the recipients of these post cards are family pets… we truly enjoyed sharing all of our new knowledge in the form of mail!
Thank you FAWE PTA and Fisheye Graphics for providing two new banners to show off our school spirit #FAWEPROUD and to help
promote participation at the School Advisory Council (SAC) meetings💚💙
FAWE's annual "Start With Hello" week is coming up on Sept. 20-24th. Start with Hello is a prevention program, inspired by the Sandy Hook Promise that teaches children and teens how to be more socially inclusive and connected to each other. Start with Hello asks students, educators, parents, and community members who interact with children to take steps in the classroom, the lunchroom, recess, and other times in their day to be intentionally inclusive and connected to each other. FAWE has blazed the trail for the program to be shared in all MCSD schools over the years. We are #FAWEPROUD and excited to be #ALLINMartin!
FAWE Fall Individual Picture Days will be Sept. 22nd for PreK, VPK, Gr. K-2 and Sept. 23rd for Gr. 3-5.
To help learn more about place value, Mrs. Hollinger’s class used some snacks as manipulatives to help us build numbers! We used graham crackers at hundreds flats, pretzel sticks as tens rods, and mini marshmallows as ones units. This kinesthetic learning activity helped us understand place value even better. 💙💚

Fifth grade students and staff enjoyed getting into costume and enjoying some tasty treats for their celebration of learning at the conclusion of their ELA unit learning about cultivating natural resources, specifically the importance of corn crops. Some interesting facts of ways in which corn is useful to both humans and animals-Toothpaste, ethanol for vehicles, grain for cattle. Did you know that corn can grow to be 10ft tall, it is the most popular vegetable in the US that we grow, and the US is considered to have the best corn crops worldwide!

Student notes of gratitude to first responders and military personnel for their service🇺🇸
Great example of how our students SAIL at FAWE by being bucket fillers of kind words to help others during the day. Ms. Langlois and her students are excited to fill up their buckets and those around them in the classroom and at home!
🦅WE WILL NEVER FORGET🦅
Students in Ms. Urbay's third-grade class at Felix A. Williams Elementary School wrote notes of gratitude to first responders and servicemembers in remembrance of the 9/11 tragedy this week.
"September 11 was a turning point for me personally, as my dad left almost immediately after to serve with the military for many years to follow," Ms. Urbay shared. "I'm thankful to honor his post 9/11 service, share with the kids each year and reflect on others who lost their lives or stepped up to assist those in need."

FAWE Class Community Building in Action! Mrs. Berkely's 4th grade class decided that they want to ALL have breakfast on Friday, together, at one table in the cafeteria. Then they decided to all wear green or blue and figured out they should be dropped off a little early to have “FAMILY breakfast” at school. They decided to call it The Breakfast Club! 😂 They even coordinated with Mrs. Snyder to allow them to have a table together. Later on in the day, they created a class cheer and are really showing more than their school spirit, they are creating a community within our classroom. Mrs. Berkely and her students all agree breakfast together starts the day off in such a happy mood! #FAWEPROUD - Way to SAIL!
