FRIDAY at school just hits different 😌📚
The vibe is lighter, the smiles are bigger, and somehow every class feels shorter.

Students in Mrs. High's preschool class had a fun day yesterday! They have been learning about the anatomy of a plant - from stem, to bud, to leaves - and were able to put their new knowledge into action! While it was raining outside, they started their root garden, planting seeds of radishes, chives, and carrots. Once the weather cleared in the afternoon, they spent some time outside planting flowers!
Our DK students learned about the different seasons and spent some time finger painting what a tree looks like in each stage!
Students in first grade have been working on fractional parts (halves, fourths, whole) in math. Yesterday, they used fractions to create pictures!
Our students are happy to be back at school! Less than 2 months left of the school year. Can you believe it!?
It was a beautiful day for some fun at recess!
Mrs. High's Preschool class had some special visitors today - red worms and nightcrawlers! The class is starting a unit on plants and kicked it off by learning about worms and their role in growing big, strong plants! They learned about the body parts of a worm, what a worm eats, how it moves through the soil, and the nutrients it gives back with its castings.
Before Spring Break, our January and February Supercats from Merritt Elementary were celebrated at an assembly! Congratulations to our Supercats!
Ms. Gmeiner's class celebrated reading Thumbelina last week by making tiny fairy gardens in the outdoor classroom!

On March 2, Merritt Elementary proudly celebrated the 6th Annual National Social Emotional Learning Day!
To mark the occasion, students and staff decorated individual music notes to create a school-wide banner titled "Music is What Feelings Sound Like." This collaborative project served as a powerful reminder that every person's feelings are valid, and it is the harmony of these diverse emotions that truly builds our community.

Mrs. Knapp's class celebrated St. Patrick's Day in style last week!
Mr. Severin read them "Leprechaun on the Loose" in the morning. When they returned from specials that afternoon, a sneaky leprechaun had made a huge mess of their classroom and escaped their creative leprechaun traps. He did, however, leave the students some Lucky Charms.
