🎨 Today in Mrs. Cook's Class: Color Monsters! 🧸✨
Today we had a monstrously fun time learning about emotions through a creative activity!
Each monster started out feeling a little confused — with mixed-up emotions all jumbled together. 😵💫💛💙❤️💚 But with some thoughtful discussion and lots of creativity, our students helped their monsters sort out and separate their feelings by color. 💛 Happy, 💙 Sad, ❤️ Angry, 💚 Calm, and more!
It was a great way to explore our emotions and how to express them — all while having fun with colors, craft supplies, and our imaginations! 🎨🖍️🧠
Way to go, Color Monster experts! 🧡

In Ms. Newman’s ELA class yesterday, students became “noun detectives” as they investigated different types of nouns. They practiced identifying and sorting nouns into the categories of common, proper, and collective nouns. To apply their learning, students created original sentences using one example from each category and then presented their work to the class. This activity supported their ability to classify nouns, apply grammar knowledge in context, and build confidence in speaking and presenting.
We’ve got you covered for the entire year! To help avoid last-minute scrambling, we’ve planned out all our Dress-Up Days in advance. ✅
These days are always optional and are meant to be a fun and stress-free way to add a little spirit and excitement throughout the year. 🎈
Whether you love to go all out or just enjoy the theme from the sidelines, there’s something for everyone!
🗓️ See the full schedule and get ready to have some fun!

They celebrated with class rotations to review Standard From, Expanded Form, Model Form, Word Form, Expanded Notation, ordering numbers, comparing numbers, and more. What a great way to reinforce what they learned! Great job Mrs Mickle!

Fourth grade students recently completed a novel study of Because of Winn-Dixie. As part of their project-based learning, students constructed plot diagrams to analyze the text and demonstrate comprehension of key story elements. To conclude the unit, students participated in a culminating activity by reenacting the pivotal party scene hosted by the characters Gloria and Opal, bringing their literary analysis to life through collaboration and creativity.
As a reminder, please adhere to the Carry-In Policy for tonight's game. We look forward to seeing you there!
