Welcome back, students! We hope you had a restful break. We're excited to see all the growth and learning that will happen in the remainder of the school year!


We had another great week of kids SOARing at Folwell. Here are this week's Falcon Flyer drawing winners. Also way to go Mrs. Mueller's 2nd graders for earning the Wings award this week too. Goooo Falcons!



We enjoyed singing winter songs together this morning at our Winter Sing!









Mrs. Pearson's 3rd graders were writing paragraphs in Wit & Wisdom and practicing phonics skills with consonant-le words. Great work kids!






Mrs. Nelson's Ks were exploring how to make combinations of 10 yesterday. They created animal parades with different combination of animals that total 10 feet.





We recognized these awesome Falcons for SOARing this week, plus Mr. J's 3rd graders earned the Wings award this week. Congratulations!



Mrs. Lewis's class sang to the Kelso's choices song as they reviewed ideas for solving small problems with friends.


Our Kinders practicing their fine motor and gross motor skills in our SMART room.







A favorite weekly tradition is our Friday Google Meet, where we recognize a class for earning their Wings and our Falcon Flyer drawing.winners. Our school earned a record-breaking 334 Falcon Flyers this week!Here are this week's Falcons who SOARed!



Proud of these Falcons-they have gone Above & Beyond in their classrooms this month. We honored them at pur December assembly on Wednesday.


Our December assembly on Wednesday focused on R-Respectful. We talked about how we can SOAR at school and home by showing respect for others. We are Folwell-together we SOAR!

One of my favorite things to do as a principal is to read to kids. Mrs. Leisinger's Kinders were studying bats, so I was the guest reader of Stellaluna. Notice their fun bat.hats?


We held our November assembly this week. We explored what A-Always.Learning means with our SOAR acronymn. We also recognized Above.&.Beyond award winners who consistently SOAR every day at Folwell!






Mrs. Lanza's 4th graders played Battleship in PE with Mr. Thome last week. It's one of our favorites!
