Cape Fear Elementary School

Mrs Robertsons class is continuing to work hard through the gingerbread activities. Activities include quantifying, rote counting, identifying numbers, fine motor, writing, letter identification, following step by step recipes, cognitive challenges, and responsibility. This has been a very exciting study and through hands on activities children will continue to work on large group and individual learning/development goals.

Mrs Robertsons class began their gingerbread study this week. They have been focusing on characters, main characters, parts of the story, reading comprehension, retelling stories, and more. Today the gingerbread man left clues for them to follow directions and use positional words. Children had to use clues to find the next card. At the end of the hunt they discovered they just did miss catching the gingerbread man but he left a sweet treat to share for another activity. Tune in for more activities and upcoming STEM activities. 

Day 6-7: books opened, minds growing, and hearts full. Here’s to another great day at CFE! 💛📚

Mrs. Johnson’s class has kicked off their Gingerbread study with an awesome start! We started with building shapes with gumdrops/toothpicks, character sequencing, build the number with candy, clap it out name syllables, candy cane patterns, five senses gingerbread and our gingerbread bakery in dramatic play for a start! Our next weeks will be full of
learning with fun of course!

From our families to yours! We hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was full of rest, joy, and good memories. Grateful for all our cub families 🐻💙

Ms. McCall is so grateful for this crew and a cozy Friendsgiving together.

Today our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students participated in their very first Cub Council election!
Over the past few weeks, our candidates learned about campaigning, leadership, and the voting process. Students cast their ballots during their lunch periods, and excitement filled the building as everyone took part in this real-world civic experience. We wrapped up the day with the announcement of our Cub Council winners. We are so proud of every student who ran, voted, and supported their classmates—what a great start to student leadership at CFE! Winners will be posted soon.

Congratulations to our November Staff Member of the Month, Ms. Grochan! We are excited to honor Ms. Grochan for her dedication, positivity, and the many ways she supports our students and staff each day. Her hard work and commitment make a meaningful impact on our CFE community, and we are truly grateful for all she does.

See ya later alligator. Have a great Thanksgiving Break.

There will be no school Wednesday through Friday. Enjoy your holiday and we'll see everyone back on Monday, refreshed and ready to learn.

Students also designed Thanksgiving parade balloons inspired by the sea creatures they studied in Wit & Wisdom texts. 🦑🌊🦈

Ms. Grochan’s class earned their 2nd attendance reward and celebrated with hat day!
