🌟 Let’s Keep Our Attendance on Track, Wolf Cubs! 🌟

We had a very busy October full of fun and learning! Even though we were only in school for 18 days, we added 528 absences and 653 tardies to our totals. That’s a big jump — around 300 more tardies compared to this time last year.

Every minute counts! ⏰
If a student is 20 minutes late each day, that adds up to over an hour of missed learning each week. Let’s work together to turn that around and make November our best attendance month yet!

Every day. On time. Ready to learn. 💪🐾

🌟 Kindness Matters Monday! 🌟
A huge shout-out to our Kindness Matters Student of the Week! 💛 Evelyn is always going out of her way to help those around her—whether it’s making sure everyone understands the expectations of a lesson or lending a hand when someone feels unsure about an everyday task. We’re so proud of her caring heart and leadership! 💫👏 She was nominated by Mrs. Sweeney!

🎃🏠 A huge thank you to Mrs. Amanda for helping Mrs. Watts’ class make such wonderful memories in STEM! The students had so much fun creating their spooky (and not-so-spooky!) Halloween (and Princess) houses while learning about 2D and 3D shapes — part of our 3rd-grade geometry standard on recognizing and building different kinds of shapes. 💡✨

Learning really can be a treat! 🍬📐

Mrs. Sweeney's class is learning all about food chains in reading! This week they read “Who Eats What?” and created their own edible food chains using gummy worms, goldfish, and teddy grahams. 🐻🐠🪱 Of course, they were at the top of the food chain—because they got to eat them all! 😋

📚 Our 5th graders had an amazing opportunity to join a virtual author study led by Kwame Alexander! Kwame is an award-winning author and poet who writes books that make reading and writing fun and powerful—you might know him from The Crossover and Booked!

He kicked things off by reading a short excerpt from one of his books and then taught a mini lesson on list poetry. Then, he was joined by Erin Entrada Kelly, another incredible author who writes stories about friendship, courage, and finding your voice—like in her book Hello, Universe! She shared about her new book and led us in a writing lesson on developing characters.

Our students asked thoughtful questions, wrote creative poems, and learned from two masters of their craft. ✍️✨ We'll have the opportunity to join the other three sessions throughout the year when other amazing authors join Kwame to continue to inspire our students.

A huge thank-you to the wonderful family friends of our Media Specialist who made this experience possible through their generous donation. Your support helps our students continue to grow and love writing! ❤️
