Our 5th graders were invited by UNCW to attend the women's basketball game today. They were joined by other schools around Pender County as well as New Hanover, Brunswick & Onslow county schools. Everyone had a great time cheering on the team and even a few autographs from Sammy the Seahawk!
What a great school we have! 2nd graders are busy learning to paper plate weave with Mrs. Hanson in art class. Mrs. Oberle is spreading kindness with the 12 days of Kindness. Mrs, Silman is thankful for all the positive qualities in her Kindergarten students. And Mrs. Curry's class loves sharing book recommendations with each other. 💙💚
First grade students enjoyed a field trip to Fort Fisher Aquarium this week. Students are currently learning about the sea horse's features and writing stories about how the sea horse uses its eyes, pouch and tail to survive. They had the chance to see seahorses move and were able to see their features up close. AND they saw a baby Loggerhead sea turtle that was rescued locally. What a great day!
Our Sea Turtles LOVED meeting author/illustrator Jonathan Miller today and hearing all about Sammy the Wonder Dachshund. Additional order forms were sent home today - form and money due back Friday, 12/6, if you're interested in a personalized autographed copy. https://bit.ly/3OHt7aa
