Today was "Pancake Day" in 5th grade to end our matter and energy unit. Students got to get some hands on learning making pancakes to demonstrate chemical changes and how adding heat affects different materials.

This morning, our first grade students participated in their very first Reading Buddy Friday! First grade students were paired with sixth grade students from Cape Fear Middle School’s CTE class, and they had so much fun reading and spending time together.
Students truly enjoyed their first Reading Buddy Friday! We can’t wait for more special reading moments with our buddies! 💙


🚨Attention all interested 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders! The fall season of Stride & Girls on the Run will begin Tuesday, Sept. 29th!🏃🏾🏃♀️💨🚨

After 2nd grade learned about feelings during guidance class they participated in stations. Reading about feelings, making feeling faces out of play dough, acting out feelings, and a matching game.

To everyone who came out and supported our PTO for Mario Night — THANK YOU! Your enthusiasm and generosity made the night one to remember!
Here’s to an incredible school community, an incredible team, and many more fun events to come! ✨ Thank you Burgaw's BEST After School and Summer Camp for creating this event and supporting us! We appreciate you!

September Crystal Apple Award

Mrs. Johnson’s class worked on the math concepts of one-to-one correspondence and matching numbers to their quantities using ice cream cones. The students had fun practicing counting while painting their ice cream cones. It was a fun and engaging way to build their early math skills!

🌟 Student Spotlight 🌟
Sophia is a Pre-K student at Cape Fear Elementary School, recognized for her kindness and leadership.
Sophia looks for ways to help her classmates, including students who are learning English. When a classmate is upset and speaking Spanish, Sophia will sometimes help translate so her teachers can better understand what the student needs. She also sets a good example by following school expectations and helping remind her classmates of classroom routines.
Her teachers have noticed the care Sophia shows for others and her willingness to help classmates feel understood and included. 💙
Outside of the classroom, Sophia enjoys drawing 🎨, playing with Play-Doh, and just about anything involving art. She also loves spending time outside with her friends. Her favorite foods are chicken nuggets and cheese pizza 🍕, and her favorite color is pink 💗.
One interesting fact about Sophia—she loves hugs, especially when she’s having a tough moment, and often shows that same care for others through hugs and drawings. 🫶🎨
