Challenging 1st grade minds to use their creative energy and celebrating our hard work together. Happy 100's Day Mrs.Dawe's room!
Who ever thought 100's day could involve so much fun and learning? In Mrs. Dawe's room, student's engaged in purposeful conversation to predict whether 100 cubes could stand on their own and what happens to a lollipop after 100 licks. If you're curious about this challenge give it a try. It was 1st grade approved!
Empowering Excellence 100% of the time on 100th day of school!
We are 💯 % all here today on 💯 day!!
Through teamwork and problem solving, Ms. Clark's class is 100 days smarter (and sillier)!!!
Family engagement at its best! This is a perfect opportunity to work on Kindergarten Math benchmarks from home! Our class enjoyed a sneak peek at what our Wednesday (100 day) might look like!
Working as a team in Mrs.Dawe’s 1st grade room to build our number sense through hands-on activities.
First graders learned how to make soft sounds louder using stethoscopes. They were then inspired to create and test their own using donated supplies from Alley T and The Commission on Aging. We are so thankful for our supportive community!
Dear South Families,
The South Elementary staff would like to express our sincere thanks for all of the support that our South familes and community have generously shown to us in the loss of Mrs. Hessbrook's son Brady. The treats, the lunches, the messages, the flowers and all of the other supportive gestures have been noted and sincerely appreciated.
The support for Mrs. Hessbrook and her class has been overwhelming and also much appreciated. For all that is being done for our school, we say "Thank You".
There will not be school on Friday, Feb 3, 2023. This will allow Ithaca Public School staff the opportunity to attend the service for Brady and support the Hessbrook family.

South Elementary students are having a great time sledding!! Thank you PTO and community for providing the sleds!!
Second graders created bodies of water posters in STEAM and then “put them in motion” with dominoes. This proved to be a great opportunity to practice become resilient problem solvers!
