March is Reading Month Storyteller

We were thrilled to have Storyteller Kathleen Wright (also a Kindergarten teacher at Lakewood Elementary) come to Allen during March is reading month.   She was so much fun and did an amazing job not only with her storytelling, but also her focus on writing and personal narratives.

Third Grade Performance and the Space Shield Tile

The Third Grade Performance was a lot of fun and a learning experience for us all.   We also acknowledged Ms. German who donated the Space Shield Tile to Allen School.  Thank you for the gift and support.

Allen gets in the GROOVE

Groove - a high energy percussion group from the University of Michigan -
visited Allen Elementary School on Friday.  Based on a percussion
foundation, Groove's instruments include paint-bucket drums, construction
barrel drums, propane tank steel drums, trash can drums, and much more.
Their assembly introduced students to how they think of new instrument
ideas, how they compose songs, and how fun and easy it can be.  What fun!!
