Mrs. McGinnis and Mrs. Hough’s 2nd-grade classes visited Frontier Texas in Abilene. They enjoyed learning about area history and were able to view the hide of the white buffalo that was killed near Snyder. #snydertigers

Second graders turned ordinary objects and shapes into extraordinary artwork through stamping! This is a fun and inexpensive project you can do with your kids at home, too!

1. Gather a variety of objects of different shapes and sizes.
2. Dip the object into the paint of your choice, covering the bottom evenly.
3. Press the object onto a piece of paper, fabric, or other surface, using gentle pressure to create the stamp.
4. Repeat the process with different colors and objects to create patterns and designs.

Allow the artwork to dry completely before displaying or using it in other projects. #arteducation #snydertigers

These students traveled to Abilene and saw a piece of Snyder's history! During a field trip to Frontier Texas, this group of second graders were among the first to see the new White Buffalo exhibit donated by a Snyder family ranch. Frontier Texas allows visitors to relive the Old West through the magic of state-of-the-art technology. Students always enjoy this field trip that takes them back through history!

🪐 Mrs. Trawick's 1st-grade classes have been learning about the Solar System. On Friday, they got to create the moon phases using an Oreo! Learning never tasted so good!

Mrs. Leija's and Mrs. Hinojos's second-grade dual language classes honored their loved ones and celebrated Dia de los Muertos yesterday. The goals of the dual-language program are to gain an understanding of the English and Spanish languages and their cultures. Day of the Dead is celebrated on November first and second. It is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries to honor their loved ones who have passed away. People decorate alters with their loved ones' photos, flowers, candles, and belongings. It is a happy celebration of the lives they have lived and to remember them.

Snyder Primary School students with perfect attendance for the second grading cycle were entered into a drawing for Beats headphones!

Congratulations to the winners, and keep up the great work everyone!

Last Friday, Ms. Minyard and Ms. Grierson took their 3rd-grade math students out of the classroom to complete a "hallway scoot." The goal was to find the missing number on input and output tables.
