Today Mrs. Meadow's PreK class started their winter garden in the garden boxes located at the front of their learning cottages.











This week we're supporting #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek by wearing green and learning about techniques we can use to pick ourselves up when we're having a bad day.

4th graders enjoying the love of reading and sharing stories during library class. 💙📚💚

Good morning Surf City families. Bus 230 and bus 280 will be approximately 30 minutes late this afternoon. We are sorry for this inconvenience.


Mrs. Clark’s 2nd graders are looking good. 👀 They're practicing the inside outside routine to explain the problem and resolution in the story that they're reading. 📚


Ms. Mizell's 4th grade class is busy learning about how animals use their senses to communicate. Today students sorted bugs ranked in order based upon how quickly birds will learn to not eat those bugs and avoid attacking them. 🐜🦗🦟





Check out Ms. O'Brien's 3rd grade students. They've been busy writing summaries on the book The Fantastic Undersea Life of Jacques Cousteau. Great job, writers! ✏️
