After reading a story about a gigantic robot baseball player, our young engineers were challenged to build their own versions of gigantic robot baseball players using the blue blocks. Collaboration was key for this challenge!
Remembering and honoring our fallen on Memorial Day
Thank you to all of our community donors and volunteers who helped get our school woods ready for student explorers! Mrs. MacLaren's class had a great time learning about seeds, soil, and pond diversity this morning!
Sometimes when we are about the business of learning, we get to use clipboards! We are "writing" the room finding, reading, and writing magic "e" words!
Our 2nd grade school woods field trip was an enormous success! Thank you to the PTO, community members, and Mrs. Hindbaugh-Marr, for your donations, dedication, and efforts in revitalizing the school woods. Our students were able to participate in different engaging hands-on experiences, which led to exciting discoveries!
We honored our Students of the Month for their Enthusiasm at school. We are proud of these Junior Jackets for setting a positive example for their peers.
Our IHS graduating seniors were able to walk the halls of South Elementary one more time this afternoon. What an incredibly powerful example they set for our youngest Yellowjackets! Congratulations Class of 2024!
Today we used our book bags to practice "Read To Someone." Reading to a partner is fun and helps us become more fluent readers! Ask your child what EEKK means!
Students in Mrs. Gulick's class accomplished different challenges with shapes today! We had lots of proud 2nd graders!! 😁👏
Jr. Jacket ticket winners for the last two weeks! Great job, Junior Jackets!
Thursday was ACES day! Thank you to Mr. Rayburn for planning a great day to exercise with our families and friends!

First graders are learning how animals inspire many human ideas. After watching a video about the protective armor that armadillos have, they were challenged to create their own protective sport gear. We had lots of chuckles with this challenge!
We have completed the letters and sounds and are now learning about word parts like 'ing'. 👑
After reading the story Farmers' Market Day, Mrs.Whitford's students built fort board stands and turned the STEAM lab into a farmers' market!
Today was an exciting day for our 2nd graders as they visited North Elementary School. They met Mrs. Rayburn, 3rd grade teachers, students, and had the opportunity to ask questions. Mrs. Napieralski, our math interventionist, gave all 2nd grade students a tour around the building, too! Hopefully, our 2nd graders feel more comfortable with their upcoming transition. 💙💛🐝
