Cape Fear Elementary School

Today during Wit and Wisdom in Mrs. McCall’s class, students practiced publishing a detail from their writing by typing one sentence on their Chromebooks. Each student typed and illustrated a page that will become part of a class book. Learning to type is not easy, but they showed wonderful focus and perseverance. We are impressed with their hard work!

Catching up on all the school spirit we've seen so far this week! Don’t forget—tomorrow is Flannel and Fiction Day! Cozy up and bring your favorite book!

Fourth grade students are working on their clay unit. We had a special visitor, Mrs. Hopkins, join in on the making today!

Mrs. McCall’s earned 50 paw prints for a special reward — a guest reader — and we chose Ms. Hamilton! Students enjoyed listening to her read a few of her favorite holiday books on Monday afternoon.❤️📚

Don’t miss the 5th Grade Musical this Thursday night! Our students have been working hard, and they can’t wait to shine on stage. We hope to see you there!

CFE’s PBIS 2nd Quarter Cub Club Celebration

“Do You Want to Build (and Eat) a Snowman?”

We’re excited to share that our next Cub Club Celebration will be held on Friday, December 19th during Encore! Students will celebrate their positive behavior this quarter by creating — and enjoying — their own snowman treats.

We would love your help in making this event a success. If you’re able, please consider sending in the item(s) assigned to your child’s grade level.

Thank you in advance for helping us make this celebration SNOW much fun! ☃️✨

Science Olympiad practice is in full swing! These students are showing amazing effort and curiosity every step of the way.

Today Mrs. Johnson’s class celebrated the return of our beloved Mrs. Simmons! We also had lots of fun eating Gingerbread cookies. First we completed our
5 senses chart where we recorded what we see, smell, feel, taste and hear. Then we did our first bite chart where students record their name under which part of the gingerbread body they bit first and we tally them up!

A huge congratulations to our 5th graders on completing the D.A.R.E. Program! Thank you to our amazing officer and teachers for guiding our students through these important lessons. We’re excited to celebrate their growth and choices for a bright future! 💛🚓🎓

Mrs. Lawrence and Ms. Hill’s class dissected squid today and made tons of connections to the Wit and Wisdom text, Giant Squid! 🦑

Today in Mrs. Johnson’s class we decorated a LARGE gingerbread man and somehow he became LOOSE IN THE CLASSROOM! We created “missing” gingerbread man posters and went on a search! Finally we found him hiding behind the door laughing at us all along!!!

Congratulations to all the 1st and 2nd graders who put on a PHENOMENAL concert to kick off our holiday season! Bravo!!
