Mrs. Curry’s first grade class is learning about how books change peoples lives around the world. After reading Green Eggs and Ham, students wrote how books change their life. They also shared and responded to each other during our Socratic Seminar.




Mrs. Horne and Mrs. Oberle's ELA classes spent the day outside today defending their school from zombies in an exciting escape room adventure! Students had to work together to cite evidence to crack the codes and escape the zombie attacks!




The book fair was a huge success! Thank you to all who helped, shopped & supported. 📚

We are thankful to be a part of the compassionate Surf City Elementary community. At this time, as temperatures dip into the 30’s, we want our neighbors to the West to be kept warm. We are partnering with the Asheville community who are in need of new blankets, new coats and jackets, winter socks, and batteries. Thank you for all you are doing to serve and uplift others. Donation boxes will be in the front foyer of the school. Items will be delivered at the end of October.

Next week is Bullying Prevention Awareness week and we are wearing orange to show our support. 🧡

Mrs. Allen's 2nd grade class read the geodes book called Cranberry Crop which had a recipe in the back for cranberry relish. After reading about how cranberries are harvested, they proved that cranberries really do float! They chopped apples (with plastic knives) and oranges and blended them with cranberries, honey and some juice and tasted some delicious cranberry relish along side fresh and dried cranberries. Yum!
