Belen Soto Elementary School

Don’t let middle schoolers fool you…they can get behind days like this just as much as the littles! The 7th Day of 7th Grade was a perfect way to head into the weekend! 🖤🌵⚡️

6th Day of 6th Grade and our students are settling into Middle School! Last week they won the award for the “Best Grade in the Cafe”…not traditionally an award given to middle schoolers. We can’t wait to see how they shine this year! 🖤🌵⚡️

The 5th Day of 5th Grade was full of big personalities, big smiles, big learning…and maybe just a little bit of fun. We’re loving the energy our 5th graders are bringing to the first week! 🖤🌵⚡️

It’s the 4th Day of 4th Grade! Four days in, and our 4th grade Storm are already learning, growing, and making memories!
A HUGE thank you to our incredible 4th grade teachers for welcoming every family to parent-teacher conferences during the FIRST week of school! Your time, dedication, and commitment to building strong relationships with our families from Day 1 make such a difference. 🖤🌵⚡️

It was the 3rd Day of 3rd Grade! They started their day decoding a message “Happy Third Day of Third Grade” and then celebrated with a theme of 3’s all day! 🖤🌵⚡️

What can happen in just 30 minutes? Mr. Rodriguez’s 4th grade class proved that BIG things happen when students are engaged! During a writing game, our young authors worked together to write over 2,000 words in less than 30 minutes. And what kind of class wouldn’t celebrate with their first conga line of the year? 🖤🌵⚡️

Meet the best cafeteria staff in all the lands! They prepare beautiful breakfasts and lunches for our students each day! From fresh cut fruits and vegetables to the crowd favorites of chicken wings and orange chicken, thought goes into everything they make! The link to apply for free or reduced lunches is in our bio! Left to right: Brittany, Darlene, Rhonda, Sylvia, and Andrea 🖤🌵⚡️

On the 2nd day of 2nd grade we were seeing double! Our Storm did everything in 2’s…famous partner words, math problems, directed drawings, games and more! It was a perfect way to end the week! 🖤🌵⚡️
