Wear yellow this week to support special needs awareness!

A perfect fall day for a trip to the farm.

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness Week, let's remember that kindness, empathy, understanding should happen every day not just this week.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week, and we’re showing our support by wearing green! 💚 A small color with a big message.

Congratulations to our October Crystal Apple recipient. Mrs. Kayla Hollifield transitioned to Kindergarten this year and has done a phenomenal job. She is a natural fit on our Kinder team and a truly nurturing soul to our students. We are so grateful for her dedication and heart!

In this activity, students are challenged to build a glider that will glide as far as possible. Working in groups, students will cut and tape various hoops to their straw. They will experiment with hoops of different sizes, positioning, and throwing styles.

Fall Festival is coming! 🎃🍭

🌊🐚 Our 3rd graders had an exciting field trip to Ecological Marine Adventures! They explored marine life, learned about ocean ecosystems, and had hands-on adventures by the sea. What a memorable day of learning and discovery! 🌊🐟🦀

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. Wearing green to show our support. 💚

Several students participating in the 21st CCLC program commenced the weekend by removing weeds from the planter boxes in the school garden. 🪴👩‍🌾👨‍🌾

Our 5th graders had an unforgettable field trip today! 🎣🦑🐚 From fishing to squid dissections to a shell scavenger hunt, it was a day full of hands-on learning and adventure!

Ms. Johnson’s class completed a literacy project and created a class book. We voted on what we wanted our topic to be and decided with “Families”.  Each student contributed one page to our story & then we read the book together! A wonderful learning experience! 🩷

Pumpkin Patch 🎃 A pumpkin patch vanishing point lesson is an art project that teaches one-point perspective by having students draw a field of pumpkins that appear to receded into the distance, with larger pumpkins in the foreground and smaller ones getting progressively smaller towards a central vanishing point on the horizontal line.

Congratulations to our September Staff Member of the Month, Mrs. Matthews! We celebrate all you do for Cape Fear Elementary.
