W.H. Knuckles W. H. Knuckles’ Family welcomes a new member, Mrs. Judith Osegueda, to the 4th grade team of teachers. She is a graduate of UNC-Pembroke with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education. She has eight years of teaching experiences in Robeson County Schools. She lives in Lumberton with her two children. She states, “ I am very excited to be working with PSRC again!” Special thanks and appreciation are extended to our school secretary, Debra Jackson, social worker, Carol Floyd, guidance counselor, Rebecca Freeman, and all administrative helpers in recognition of Administrative Professional week. The Teacher Cadets class at Lumberton Senior High makes a difference at the school by mentoring third and fourth grade students. W. H. Knuckles Elementary School springs into April with some exciting events. The school, held an Educational Day, where students led conferences with their parents on April 25th. The school, also, participated in a campaign for Butterflies, which was led by the Media Department. The project of The Arts and Science Council sponsored the butterfly project, where people could donate money to help butterflies grow from larvae. Each donation of $10.00 paid for 5 butterflies that would be given out to children during the North Carolina Science Festival. Thanks to our school, we raised over $100.00. The top givers were Xzandria L. and Cedrione M. Congratulations to the top giving class: Mrs. J. Osegueda-4th grade class!! All classes who participated received ice cream, and the top winning class won movie time and a special treat in the Media Center. To find out more ways to get involved in other projects, go to www.power2give.org. The first graders have been discussing the life cycles of various insects. Each student had the chance to have their own mealworms in a cup to observe and record what was happening. Each of the classrooms had the chance to have a butterfly kit in the class so students could watch the life cycle of the butterfly. On April 18, the students went to Ripley’s Aquarium to see the various animals and explore sea life. The students had the experiences to participate with the Johnny Rockets wait staff as we ate lunch in their family-friendly 50's atmosphere. On April 30th the first graders held a Poetry Tea in honor of National Poetry Month. Students wrote poems and presented them to parents during a Tea Style Party. Second grade had Kiwanis Club come and visit this past week. The students listened to a story and were each given their very own books. The students have been reading them during their Daily 5 time and taking AR tests on them increase their points before the end of the year! This week in reading we also made comic strips online at http:// www.makebeliefscomix.com/. Students were able to explore characters thoughts and emotions while integrating technology. In Science, students have been learning all about sound. From feeling the vibration of their own vocal chords, to listening to Mrs. Arroyo play her violin, to finding out how their dog know when someone has come to the house before they get to the door, the students have been doing fun engaging inquiries about sound. In Math, students are coming full circle. Ending off with geometry, the students are going back and reviewing the major work of the grade, and concentrating on their math skills as they get ready for the K-2 Summative Assessment. Spring time has brought in a new and refreshed energy for the school year. With April being Jazz Appreciation month, the third, and fourth graders are learning about specific musicians who make a difference on their respective instruments. Each grade has also had a lot of fun learning the instrument families, categorizing the way sounds are produced and learning instrument names. In honor of Earth day, some fourth graders even created an Earth day rap!! We are excited in welcoming the warm weather and shift in season, and in honor of International Jazz Appreciation day, welcomed trumpeter and flutist Gary Lamb to talk and perform a little bit of jazz on his instruments. Looking forward to EOG preparation, students will continue to write poetry and research motivational quotes in order to inspire each other to do their best. 30
Union Chapel Elementary West Lumberton Elementary Union Chapel School recently participated in Spring Fling which was titled “Country Living – Country Loving.” All students Pre-K through 6th grade dressed up in their western attire and danced to various country artist songs. We were also graced by the presence of the May Court and entertained by the Union Chapel Cheerleaders and Mascots. The staff even surprised us with a country step dance performance. Union Chapel hosted a Scholastic Book Fair. The event was a huge success. The students and parents eagerly purchased books and materials. The Book Fair is aimed at increasing literacy among our student population. The Union Chapel 100 Book Club and students who earned 100 points on Accelerated Reader were rewarded with a trip to Fayetteville. They went to Monkey Joe’s where they played games and then they were treated to lunch at Golden Corral. Kindergarten students were able to explore hands-on science activities at Discovery Place. The students were very excited about their field trip. As a followup activity they drew pictures and told stories related to what they learned on their field trip. The 5 th grade students visited Wonder Works at Myrtle Beach. Here the students participated in over 100 interactive exhibits. For example, the students were blown away by 74mph hurricane force winds, were able to maneuver the controls of a NASA spacecraft, and fly a fighter jet. Our third and fourth grade students took a field trip to Fort Caswell on May 2, 2013. During a hay ride students learned how Fort Caswell guarded the Cape Fear River and additional coastal areas in the 19 th and 20 th century. Students were impressively engaging with our host and demonstrated a good knowledge base of North Carolina history. Our host also covered environmental issues with our students. During a walk on the shore, students were allowed to collect shells to bring home. . Also we learned about the importance of sand, the sea life and dunes. A water cycle game was played in which students created a bracelet to bring home. All activities were both enlightening and enjoyable. 31
