Week of May 4, 2026

This week in Preschool, students learned about measuring, bugs, and birds, and got to be part of Touch-A-Truck!

Kindergarten students loved learning about careers on wheels at this year’s Touch a Truck event!

First graders are acing their math facts on XtraMath. We’ve also enjoyed our A-Z countdown to the end of the year. We wrote kind notes to special people. On Friday, we visited Touch-A-Truck and had the best time!

Today in Mrs. Platt‘s first-grade classroom, students worked on a Mother’s Day gift. They drew a picture on a canvas for their mothers. This was a fun way to tell their mother, grandmother, aunt, or friend how special they are. The students had a great time drawing on the canvas. 

Second grade enjoyed ice cream treats on letter I day as part of our A to Z countdown! 

For Kindness Day, third graders practiced their friendly letter-writing skills by writing to an adult whom they appreciate. 

Some photos of our “Game Day” in the ABC Countdown to Summer! Students brought their favorite games to share with a classmate, and Miss Thomas brought her Nintendo GameCube and Mario Kart. It was so much fun to share one of my favorite games with the class!

Fourth-grade students participate in a STEM lesson. They are pretending to be Benjamin Franklin. They are using different-sized containers to move water. They are simulating the first fire department.

Teamwork in 5th grade! I love how this large class of fifth graders gets along so well!

This week in STEM:

5th graders went outside to try their very own sundials that they made themselves. These sundials actually work to tell the real time. The 5th graders have been learning all about how the sun interacts with the Earth.

This week, 1st graders learned about constellations and why we can only see them at night. Students practiced making their own constellations using cups and flashlights.

STEM Student of the Week: Lawrence Moore

Lawrence has really been enjoying STEM class lately. He has grown so much this year. He loves hands-on work in STEM and has learned to get working and persevere when things get challenging. Congratulations, Lawrence, you deserve recognition for your great improvement!
