Today Bug taught Ms. Laney's 1st grade class during Guidance Class about how to be brave and try things even when we aren't sure if we will like them.
Today was a busy and exciting day in Mrs. Johnson’s class! 🎃 We wrapped up our First Six Weeks study and kicked off our new Pumpkin Study! We also began learning with our Fundations, Heggerty, and Eureka Math curricula. 📚✏️ So much learning, growing, and fun is in store! 🧡🍂

🍳💚 Would you eat green eggs and ham? We sure did! 💚🍳
Our first graders had a deliciously fun time celebrating the completion of Module 1 in Wit & Wisdom! 📚 We wrapped up our learning with Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and brought the story to life by cooking our very own green eggs and ham! 🥚💚
What a fun and memorable way to celebrate all of our learning! ❤️📖
Reminder: Fall Pictures are Tuesday, October 13th.

Ms. Henry's class worked on team work and communication skills during guidance class today.
Our 5th graders are building reading fluency by practicing phrases, expression, and smooth reading! Keep up the great work, Cubs!
💙🐾 Teacher Tuesday: Ms. Madison Garriss — Cape Fear Elementary School
Ms. Madison Garriss is a beginning teacher who stepped into the role of lead preschool teacher at Cape Fear Elementary this fall. She has spent time getting to know her students and families while continuing to learn and grow in her new role.
What stands out about Ms. Garriss is her willingness to ask questions and look for solutions. She regularly seeks input, researches new ideas, and finds ways to put what she learns into practice with her students. She also brings ideas back to her preschool team and is willing to learn from those around her.
One example came as Ms. Garriss introduced her students to Cape Fear Elementary’s schoolwide expectations and the opportunity to earn “paw prints.” She created visual reminders for her students, including portable versions she can take into the hallways and cafeteria. The visuals help her preschoolers understand what is expected of them throughout the school day.
Thank you, Ms. Garriss, for your willingness to learn and the time and care you are putting into building your preschool classroom at Cape Fear Elementary. 💛📚
