🎶🎼 Music in Motion with Ms. Winemiller! 🎼🎶 Our 4th and 5th grade students are diving into their music unit on the treble clef and the musical staff with Ms. Winemiller! These skills will help prepare them for future musical ensembles as they head toward middle school. 🎵✨ Through fun, hands-on centers like Treble Clef Battleship, Toss the Note, and Decode the Song, students practiced as Active Collaborators and Problem Solvers—learning musical concepts while having a blast together. 💡🎯 We love watching our Cubs love, learn, and lead as they build confidence and musical skills that will last a lifetime! 💙🐾

📜 Dreaming Big in Social Studies 📜 Mrs. Sanford’s Social Studies classes listened to and analyzed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s powerful “I Have a Dream” speech. Students then reflected thoughtfully on the changes they dream of seeing for our nation. 💭🇺🇸 Through meaningful discussion and reflection, our Cubs showed what it means to be Effective Communicators and Engaged Citizens, thinking deeply about history, justice, and their role in shaping the future. 🌟 At SCES, we encourage our students to love, learn, and lead as they dream, reflect, and grow together. 💙🐾

📚🏈 Drop Everything and READ! 🏈📚 Students in Mrs. Abell’s and Mrs. Mooney’s classes enjoyed some special DEAR time (Drop Everything and Read) as they worked toward their ReadBowl challenge! Even Mrs. Glass joined in, making it extra fun to see students and teachers learning and reading side by side. 💙✨ This cozy reading time helped our Cubs shine as Empowered Learners and Effective Communicators, while celebrating a shared love of books together. Moments like these show how reading truly brings our school community together! 📖🐾 We love opportunities to love, learn, and lead—one book at a time! 💙📚

🏈📚 READBowl Champions in the Making! 📚🏈 Ms. Miles’s 2nd grade Cubs wrapped up Quarter 1 of the READBowl in an exciting way by teaming up with SCHS football players! Working together as Active Collaborators, students celebrated reading success with encouragement, teamwork, and lots of smiles. 💙🐾 This special visit inspired our Cubs to keep growing as Empowered Learners and Engaged Citizens, showing that reading and teamwork go hand in hand! Way to love, learn, and lead, Cubs! 🏆📖

❄️☃️ SNOW Much Fun in Mrs. Blumeier’s Class! ☃️❄️ Learning was cool yesterday! Mrs. Blumeier’s Cubs read Snowflake Bentley, explored fascinating facts about snowflakes, and practiced their Fry Words in the most fun way — with a snowball fight! ⛄📖 Before tossing a “snowball,” students had to read the word, showing off their skills as Effective Communicators and Empowered Learners. Working together and cheering each other on, they were also great Active Collaborators! 🎯✨ At SCES, we love when learning is hands-on, joyful, and full of laughter — just another day to love, learn, and lead! 💙🐾

🛍️💡 Market Day Magic in 5th Grade! 💡🛍️ Last week, our 5th graders hosted their annual Market Day, and it was a huge success! Students created their own booths to sell items and services, while fellow 5th graders and teachers stopped by to shop and support their hard work. 💵🎨 Throughout the day, our Cubs shined as Effective Communicators while marketing their products, Problem Solvers as they handled pricing and decision-making, and Empowered Learners as they took ownership of their businesses. This hands-on experience also showcased them as Engaged Citizens, learning real-world skills in a fun and meaningful way! 🌟 We love watching our Cubs love, learn, and lead—one sale at a time! 🐾💙

Our SCES Cheer Team is ready for state! We are so proud of our team.
