Mrs. Mac’s class got hands-on with their sight words this week — literally! Students used Play-Doh to build their words, boosting their reading skills AND strengthening their fine motor muscles! 🧠✋📚 Learning through play is the best kind of learning! Play-Doh + Sight Words = Success! Way to go, little word builders! ✨

This week Mrs. Johnson's class celebrated Earth Day in a BIG way inspired by The Garden of Happiness from MyView! After reading about a community mural blooming with kindness, we talked about how doing good inspires others to do good too! So… our class created a flower mural out front for everyone to enjoy! 🌸🎨 We also got our hands dirty learning about worms! 🪱 From worm observations to dirt pudding treats (yum!) we became little scientists and authors—writing our very own “How-To” guides! ✏️🍫 Our students showed they are: Engaged Citizens ✔️ Empowered Learners ✔️ Effective Communicators ✔️ Active Collaborators ✔️ Way to go, Earth-loving leaders! 🌍✨

Mrs. Blumeier’s class had an EGG-cellent day of learning. The students were involved in several STEM activities: which eggs would sink or float, which liquid makes a rainbow the fastest, made peep boats, egg stacking challenge, and had a math egg hunt.

Mrs. Mac's class was crackin’ into learning with some EGG-cellent fun! 🥚✨ They hunted eggs 🕵️‍♀️, created egg-citing number chalk art 🎨, and even sorted jelly beans like math pros! ➕📊🍬 Learning never looked so sweet! #LearningIsFun #SpringVibes #EggHunt 🥚 #JellyBeanMath 🍭 #ChalkItUp 🌈✏️

KSA Information for 3rd, 4th, 5th We are excited to share that our upcoming state testing—the Kentucky Summative Assessment (KSA)—is just around the corner! This important assessment measures student progress on Kentucky’s academic standards and gives students the opportunity to showcase everything they've learned this year. Our testing window will take place from May 7th through May 16th. Attendance during testing days is critical. It helps students avoid the added stress of makeup sessions and keeps everything running smoothly. Please try to schedule appointments on non-testing days. Thank you!

Countdown to Kindergarten was a blast! 🎉 We absolutely loved meeting our new Cubs 🐾 and welcoming them to the SCES family. 🏫 This is such a sweet place to start their journey 🍬, and we can’t wait to see these bright, smiling faces back in the fall 🍂 to kick off an amazing school year! 📚✨

We are loving day two of our Profile of a Learner work at SCES! We are excited to share more pictures shortly.

Today our 5th graders started their Profile of a Learner Defenses. Mr. Dunning and Mrs. Smith's classes did an amazing job! We are so thankful for volunteer judges and support. We will host more POL Defenses Thursday and Friday in the SCES Cafe from 9:00 to 10:30.

Our Cubs with birthdays in April visited the vending machine on Friday and chose a book for their birthday. Thanks PTO for this awesome way to make our birthdays special!
