โœ”๏ธ Stay seated
โœ”๏ธ Keep aisles clear
โœ”๏ธ Follow the driverโ€™s directions
โœ”๏ธ Wait for the driverโ€™s signal before crossing

Letโ€™s work together to keep every [School Name] student safe on the journey to and from school! ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿฆˆ Science vocabulary came to life in Mrs. Gibsonโ€™s 5th grade class!

Our fifth grade Sharks were working on much more than simply defining science words. Students were challenged to make connections between vocabulary terms, explain how the words fit together, and defend the reasoning behind their thinking. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿง 

The student discourse was fantastic! We heard students discussing, questioning, revising their ideas, and using science vocabulary such as force, friction, energy, circuits, push, pull, attract, repel, conductors, and more to build meaningful connections.

This is the kind of learning we love to see: students doing the thinking, talking about their thinking, and learning from one another. ๐Ÿ’™โœจ

๐ŸŽฅ Be sure to check the comments for one example video of our Sharks explaining their vocabulary connections!

๐Ÿ”ฌ๐Ÿ† Summerfield Sharks Shine at Regional Science Olympics! ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿ’™

Today, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Sharks represented Summerfield at the Regional Science Olympics at York K-8 Innovation Academy, and they made us incredibly proud! Our students put their creativity, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and engineering minds to the test through some seriously fun challenges.

Our 3rd graders from Mrs. Burnhamโ€™s class designed and built wind racers using pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, tape, a file folder, and copy paper ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ๐ŸŽ๏ธ.

Our 4th grader from Mrs. DonFilaโ€™s class tackled the challenge of creating a marshmallow flyer using snap cubes, rubber bands, and a paint stick ๐Ÿš€.

Our 5th graders from Mrs. Gibsonโ€™s class engineered a marble coaster using pipe insulation, tape, and paper cups. ๐ŸŽข

And the results were AMAZINGโ€ฆ

๐Ÿฅ‡ Our 3rd graders earned FIRST PLACE!

๐Ÿฅ‡ Our 5th graders earned FIRST PLACE!

We are so proud of all of our Sharks for taking risks, thinking creatively, persevering through challenges, and showing exactly what young engineers can do! ๐Ÿ’กโš™๏ธโœจ

A special thanks to Mrs. Goodridge, our science resource teacher, for helping at todayโ€™s event and assisting for all our schoolwide and class events. ๏ฟผ

Way to represent Summerfield! Beyond Boundaries isnโ€™t just our theme, itโ€™s exactly what our Sharks did today! ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿฆˆ

Yesterday our little mathematicians worked on sorting 3D shapes! Each student had the opportunity to share their shape with the class, describe its attributes, and place it in the correct group. We practiced identifying vertices, and shapes that roll, stack, or slide!

So proud of our kindergarteners for building their math skills and confidence speaking in front of their classmates! โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿš€ Vocabulary is Blasting Off at Summerfield! ๐ŸŒŸ

Shark Nation, get ready for our annual Vocabulary Parade on Friday, October 30! ๐Ÿช๐Ÿ”ญ๐ŸŒŽ

This year, our Sharks will bring science and space-themed vocabulary to life! Students will bring home a bright orange flyer with their vocabulary word and all the details.

Families, have fun working together to create a homemade costume, poster, or prop that represents your childโ€™s word. Most importantly, help your child practice saying and understanding their vocabulary word so they are ready to share it proudly during the parade!

Our goal is to build stronger readers and thinkers by making vocabulary fun, meaningful, and memorable. ๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ“š

Thank you, families, for partnering with us and helping our Sharks Reach. Explore. Achieve. We can't wait to see vocabulary come to life at Summerfield! ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿฆˆโž• Math Minds at Work in Mrs. Jessopp's 2nd grade Class! โž•๐Ÿฆˆ

Our Sharks are building strong number sense through hands-on math learning! Using place value blocks, partner discussions, and problem-solving activities, students are strengthening their understanding of numbers by representing, comparing, and explaining their mathematical thinking.

These young mathematicians aren't just finding answers, they're learning to show their thinking, justify their strategies, and collaborate with classmates to deepen their understanding. Through engaging, interactive lessons, students are developing the confidence and skills needed to become successful problem solvers.

๐Ÿ’ก Ask your Shark:
โž• How did you solve a math problem today?

๐Ÿงฎ What strategy helped you find the answer?

๐Ÿ“š Can you show someone at home how to represent a number using tens and ones?

We are so proud of the hard work happening in Mrs. Jessopp's math class as students continue to grow their mathematical thinking each day!

๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฆˆ Kindergarten Sharks Are Reading to Learn! ๐Ÿฆˆ๐ŸŸ

Our Kindergarten students have been hard at work strengthening their informational reading skills as they practice ELA.K.R.2.2: Identifying the topic and multiple details in a text.

During reading time, students explored nonfiction books about animals and nature, worked with partners, and used text features and photographs to determine what their books were mostly about. Then, they shared important details they learned from their reading!

From rhinos and foxes to other fascinating creatures, our young readers are building vocabulary, expanding background knowledge, and learning how to support their thinking with evidence from text.

๐Ÿ’ก Ask your Shark:
๐Ÿ“– What was the topic of your book? ๐Ÿ“ What are two details you learned?

We love seeing our students grow as curious readers and thinkers every day!

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿฆˆ A Big Shark Shout-Out! ๐Ÿฆˆ๐Ÿ”ฅ

A huge thank you to Firefighter Alvarez for visiting our first grade students and helping bring learning to life!

Through sharing his experiences and answering questions, he helped students build their vocabulary and background knowledge as they explored the essential question: "What jobs need to be done in a community?"

Our Sharks loved learning about the important role firefighters play in keeping our community safe while making real-world connections to their classroom learning. Thank you, Firefighter Alvarez, for investing in our students and inspiring our future community helpers! โค๏ธ๐Ÿš’
