A BIG thanks to Ms. Davidson, our Instructional Technology Specialist, who taught all 2nd grade classes how to create a digital book and all the skills that go along with it. Students will use these skills to create a Johnny Appleseed book during their upcoming Wit & Wisdom unit.

Ms. Morgan's students had a blast learning all about forces and motion today! The highlight? Balloons + friction = static electricity! 🎈⚡
Good afternoon Surf City Families,
This morning at 9:25 AM, our school conducted a scheduled lockdown drill. These drills are part of our regular safety procedures and help ensure that students and staff know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency. The drill went smoothly, and students responded responsibly and calmly.

✨TEACHER TUESDAY✨Ms. Morgan Bohrer teaches 1st grade at Surf City Elementary. Colleagues describe her as someone who is dependable and easy to work with. She’s quick to share what she knows, especially when the team is learning new tools. This year, she has helped her grade level with Infinite Campus and Planbook, taking time to walk others through steps and troubleshoot when needed. Her support has made day-to-day tasks easier for the team.
In the classroom, Ms. Bohrer looks for ways to keep students engaged in their lessons. Recently, she noticed that many students needed extra practice with number recognition. Instead of repeating the same routine, she planned a “50s Day” for the entire grade level. Students reviewed numbers 1–50 while participating in simple themed activities. The team will join together for this event, giving students a fun, hands-on way to practice important math skills.
Thank you, Ms. Bohrer, for the time and care you put into supporting your students and your team at Surf City Elementary.💙💛

Good morning Surf City Elementary Families, Bus 288 is leaving the lot at approximately 7:45am. We are sorry for the late notice and inconvenience this has caused. We appreciate your continued support!
After reading Balloons Over Broadway and learning about the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Miss. Bohrer’s first graders chose from fun character and animal templates to create their own parade balloons....who knows, maybe the next big Macy’s balloon will start right here in first grade! 💛🎨🦃🔗https://youtu.be/GAwpadwwG88
