๐๐ Fall Stories, Fun Sound Effects, and Lots of Smiles! ๐๐ป
Mr. Scott and Mrs. Dennis had the BEST time visiting classrooms this week to share a fun fall favorite, The Little Old Lady Who Wasnโt Afraid of Anything! ๐ต๐
Not only did our Cubs enjoy this silly, spooky story, but we also had some great conversations about figurative language and onomatopoeia (words that make sounds)! ๐
We made the story even more exciting by using Novel Effect, a fun program that adds music and sound effects as you read aloud! ๐๐ Our Cubs loved hearing the story come to life!
One of our favorite parts of being in classrooms is getting to spend time with our students, share some laughs, and continue building those special relationships! ๐
We LOVE getting to learn, laugh, and make memories with our Cubs! ๐ป๐

๐ง๏ธโ๏ธ Rain or Shine, Recess Is Always Fun! ๐ป๐ No matter the weather, Mrs. White and Ms. Nicoleโs Cubs LOVE recess! ๐พ๐ When the weather keeps us indoors, our kindergarteners make the most of indoor recess by playing with friends, using their imaginations, and creating their own fun! ๐งธ๐งฑ๐จ Our Cubs are practicing being Active Collaborators as they share, take turns, and play together, all while building friendships and having fun! ๐คโจ Because at SCES, learning, growing, and making memories happen in every kind of weather! ๐ Love. Learn. Lead.โrain or shine! ๐๐พ
๐ค๐๏ธ Hands-On Science: Engineering the Human Hand! ๐๏ธ๐ฌ
Mrs. Sanfordโs fourth-grade Cubs dove into the human machine by engineering their very own working paper robot fingers! ๐คโ๏ธ
These young scientists put their STEM skills to work as they built models to demonstrate how our fingers move. By pulling strings to mimic how muscles and tendons help move our joints, students brought the science of the human body to life! ๐ก๐ง
Our Cubs were amazing Effective Communicators as they used scientific vocabulary to explain how their models worked and how they represented real human fingers. They were also Problem Solvers as they designed, tested, and explored the mechanics of movement! ๐ ๏ธโจ
We love seeing our Cubs think like engineers, communicate like scientists, and discover how the world worksโall while they Love. Learn. Lead. ๐๐พ
โค๏ธ๐๏ธ Red Ribbon Week: Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free! ๐๏ธโค๏ธ

Check out our daily challenges and join the fun at home! ๐กโจ
Every small choice can make a big difference! Letโs work together to help our Cubs build healthy habits that last a lifetime. ๐

Cub Families,
Students will bring home a letter today sharing our 2025โ2026 KSA testing results.
We believe itโs important to keep our families informed and provide state and regional comparisons to help put our scores into context.
We are so proud of our Cubs and staff!
As we celebrate their hard work, we remain committed to continued growth, high expectations, and academic excellence. We will keep challenging and supporting our students because our students and families deserve our very best.
We will also always remember that our Cubs are so much more than a test score. Their kindness, creativity, leadership, and individual growth give us reasons to celebrate every day.

๐ข๐ Math That Feels Like Recess! ๐๐ข
Mrs. White and Ms. Nicoleโs kindergarten Cubs put their number skills to the test during their October Math Stations! ๐พ๐ From hands-on activities to fun challenges, our little mathematicians were busy learning while having a blast! โ๏ธ๐ฒ
One student summed it up perfectly: โI thought it was recess, but really it was math!โ ๐๐
And thatโs exactly how we like it at SCESโlearning so engaging and fun that it feels like play! ๐ Our Empowered Learners are building important math skills, exploring new concepts, and discovering that learning can be exciting!
We love seeing our Cubs Love. Learn. Lead.โone math game at a time! ๐ปโจ
