Ms. Downing's Class Countdown to Summer!
On Wednesday, Ms. Downing's 1st grade class celebrated the letter "V" in their ABC countdown to summer. "V" was for Vacation to a Campground! Students helped Ms. Downing setup the tent, took turns working in tent, went on a nature walk to collect natural materials for their art project where they explored texture and color through nature!
2nd Grade Market Day!
On Friday, May 16th, our second graders showcased their creativity and entrepreneurial spirit during Market Day! This exciting event allowed students to demonstrate their understanding of goods and services by creating their own businesses. Each second grader took on the role of a business owner, either providing a service or selling goods, giving them a hands-on experience in the world of commerce.
Hallway highlight! Our 2nd grade students have been learning about insects and pollination. Students drew and labeled parts of an insect while exploring watercolor techniques. They engaged in discussions about how insects play a vital role in pollination by dispersing seeds and pollen.
Additionally, students examined scientific sketches and practiced the nonfiction reading skill of labeling diagrams. Shout out to our 2nd grade students and teachers for all the hard work they have put in with this recent unit!
2025 NCCAE Teacher of the Year
"My heart in teaching is that I want my students to love the way that they learn. There is great achievement when they truly know, admire, and share their learning process with the world around them."
