Mrs. Pierce's 1st first grade class has been working hard to collect their SURF points for good behavior. Today they were able to celebrate by bringing board games from home to play and wearing costumes. Keep up the great work!

In Wit & Wisdom, 2nd grade is learning about the digestive system, so today Mrs. Allen’s class simulated digestion in a plastic bag. They made mucus to protect the “stomach” then added food (bread) and some “gastric juices” (orange juice, lemonade, or cola) and squeezed the bag to represent the contractions of the stomach muscles until the bread was mashed into chyme. Gross science for the win!
📅 Mark your calendars! 📷Spring picture day is next week, Wednesday March 26. This will be both individual and class pictures. 🌸
Mrs. Curry’s flexible reading group are becoming fluent readers. Great work!
Happy first day of spring from Mrs. Montaruli's Kindergarten class! 🌸
Ms. Rickard's 5th graders just finished up their genetics and heredity unit and wanted to see the genes that make up all of our genetic traits. To see that, the class extracted the DNA from strawberries in a science lab today. 🍓🔎🧬
Second grade is half way through their book match-ups! The Book With No Pictures took down Extra Yarn. Dragons Love Tacos swept Chez Bob. Interrupting Chicken dominated Unicorns Are The Worst. And After The Fall clobbered Amazing Grace! What will the second half hold for the rest of the books?!? 📚
Thank you to Nurse Anita & PCHD Nurse Stephanie Todd for talking to our 4th graders today about substance abuse prevention. These lovely ladies are helping our students to be aware about what is safe and what is not.
Help ‼️ Mrs. Faircloth lost the owners manual. 📖 3rd and 4th grade students are learning about coding and self driving cars in STEAM. This week they are creating their own owners manual for their mini self driving car Indi. They are having fun learning what know output Indi preforms when they input different colors. 🚗🟩🟨🟦
Mrs. Pleasant's PreK students worked on a science experiment with skittles and water today. They created a pattern with the skittles and then made predictions on what would happen if they added warm water to the plate. Great work, scientists!
Over the past week, 3rd grade classes took a field trip to Everett Creek (part of the Coastal Land Trust which has saved over 90,000 acres of land in our area). They walked a 2 mile trail and learned about the importance and history of the Long Leaf Pine forests, and also discovered evidence of coyote and deer. It was a great adventure!
Our students are the cutest clovers in the patch. 🍀
Mrs. Mercer's 2nd grade students are going through the weekly sales ads, pretending they are planning a trip to the grocery store to buy food for themselves because in their last Wit and Wisdom unit they will be learning about how to make good choices when picking foods and how foods nourish our bodies. 🥗🍓
