Families and students gathered to make “lap blankets” for our upcoming visit to the rehabilitation center for the elderly. These smaller sized blankets help keep legs warm while sitting in mobile chairs.
You can drop donations off in the office until Dec 14th. Our grades 5 & 6 will visit the residents, sing holiday songs,​​ and distribute the blankets on December 15th.
Thank you for teaching children to give…
We began Monday of Red Ribbon Week with a Math Carnival for grades 3, 4, 5 & 6. Students had to solve questions and earn tickets along the way. One of the favorite activity was the pie throw. Parents helped run the booths and donated awesome prizes and sweet treats. The theme for the day was “Math is a cool choice!”
Spreading FALL cheer to the elderly residents of West Melbourne Rehabilitation Center is a wonderful way to learn about helping others and service during Red Ribbon Week. Our students in grades 3 and 4 prepared song, showed their seasonal spirit and shared a cup of cider with their new friends.
Grades 1 and 2 are hard at work doing math activities. They are learning to be independent and growing in confidence as the use number sense.
Our students in grades 1 and 2 are using Becky Bailey’s Shubert’s BIG Voice to learn how to stand up for themselves and use their words. They are practicing with peers and led our school’s pep rally to promote anti-bullying this week.
“Love can build a bridge”… is the final theme for our Red Ribbon Week. Our grade 1 and 2 students shared a song and motions to this beautiful song. We are very proud of our students for committing to making good choices and saying no to destructive behavior. Let’s continue to support this theme all year!
Our entire school participated in International Peace Day.
We gathered at our designated time (9:30am) and sang “Light a Candle for Peace” created by a Montessori teacher.
In addition, classrooms created Peace projects, activities and students even stayed for our first after school Project Earth Club.
Let’s continue with this theme of Peace and Harmony for our Earth throughout the year.
The rain did not damper the effects of our first Spirit Day led by grades 5 & 6. Students participated in the Pledge of Allegiance, learned about flag etiquette, and sang a song about friendship.
Grades 3 and 4 proudly accepted the trophy for Box Top collection for the month followed by kindergarten in second place.
Thank you staff, teachers, parents and especially students for kicking off September with zest!
One of our school goals last year was to seek out ways to add to our Science program. We are pleased to announce that our application was chosen to receive an Energy Curricula and Learning Kit that focuses on Solar Matter for Elementary schools.
This hands on kit will be used in all classrooms this year. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services made this opportunity available for select schools this year. Two of our fourth graders were there to receive and open the kit.
We look forward to sharing our science explorations with you this year.
“Cool”, “Wow”, “I want to do this again!”…. these were the comments at the end of our first Project Earth club meeting.
Fifteen of our students stayed after school for this experience. They planted a butterfly plant to take home, did a nature walk and collected species to identify, and held a local creature that slithers.
We are planning one more this year on April 27th. A few spots remain for new or returning students. Forms are available in the office.
