The South School celebrated National Puzzle Day with several types of puzzles set up around the cafeteria, giving students a chance to do some brain exercises, while having fun with classmates. There were traditional jigsaw puzzles, Jenga blocks, 3D puzzles, a station to make your own puzzle, and more! “Scientists have discovered that when we work on a jigsaw puzzle, we utilize both sides of the brain, improving memory, cognitive function and problem solving skills in the process,” the National Puzzle Day website states. Take a look at some pictures from Puzzle Day at the South School!
Here some pictures from a recent "Flashlight Friday" in Mrs. Russell’s 1st grade class at the South School! The students worked in partners to go on a digraph hunt using their flashlights. It was a fun review activity on a dark and dreary day!

Second grade students in Mrs. DeMayo's class at the South School were given a challenge on the first day of school. They had to work together in small groups and stack cups to form a pyramid...but there was a twist - the cups spelled out a special message and had to be placed in a certain order. Take a look at the photos to see how each group did!
