Vega Elementary

2026-2027 Vega Elementary Supply List

We had a great time this morning seeing all of the former Vega All Star students that came to our Senior Breakfast in the library. It was exciting to hear about the plans for the future each of them has. We have no doubt they are going to go out into the world and make us proud!

Last Friday was a busy day at Vega Elementary!
2nd graders participated in the 2nd Grade Store, where they became producers and consumers by creating, marketing, and selling their own products.

3rd graders also impressed us with their Living History Museum projects after researching influential people and sharing what they learned through creative presentations. We are so proud of all of their hard work, creativity, and teamwork! 📚✨

Over the last few weeks, our 3rd graders have been visiting the library to learn how to take notes, follow copyright rules, and cite their sources in a bibliography while preparing for their projects. They have worked so hard in both the library and the classroom to research and prepare for their Living Museum presentations. We can’t wait to see their amazing work tomorrow at the 3rd Grade Living Museum! 📚✨

Yesterday, our 3rd graders had the exciting opportunity to participate in a virtual author visit with Katherine Applegate! Students learned about her writing process, how she comes up with new story ideas, and the importance of creativity and imagination. They also participated in a fun brainstorming activity where they created their own original book characters. It was an inspiring experience for our young readers and writers!

Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade students have been putting their coding skills to work with Ozobots! Students connected science concepts to computational thinking by creating coded paths and solving problems through hands-on learning.

A special thank you to McKinney Education Foundation for funding the purchase of our Ozobots a few years ago and helping provide these engaging learning opportunities for our students!

Students are loving the new bean bag chairs and rugs, which have created cozy, inviting spaces to read and relax. Our maker space has also been buzzing with creativity! Students are building with Legos to reinforce reading and storytelling concepts, while also exploring coding with new coding cards. Thanks to McKinney Education Foundation, our library is more engaging and welcoming than ever for our students.

We’re so grateful for these additions and the joy they’re bringing to our library!
