While weeding Mrs. Bartoletta’s classroom garden, we discovered a sweet surprise—sweet potatoes and carrots left behind by last year’s students! What a fun reminder that the seeds we plant can continue to grow long after we’ve moved on. Our little gardeners were so excited to uncover this hidden treasure! 💚

🍎 Tasty Science in Kindergarten! 🍏

Ms. Truelove's kindergarteners at Jefferson Elementary put their Five Senses to work today during a hands-on apple exploration and tasting activity!

Our little scientists explored red, green, and yellow apples by testing out all five senses:
👀 Sight: Looking at the different colors, shapes, and sizes
✋ Touch: Feeling the smooth skin vs. the rough stem
👂 Hearing: Listening to that loud, satisfying CRUNCH!
👃 Smell: Sniffing the sweet, crisp autumn aroma
👅 Taste: Sampling slices to see which apple took top prize!

After tasting, the class created a graph to vote on their favorite apple. Whether team sweet or team tart, everyone agreed that hands-on learning is delicious! 😋

📸 Check out our photos below to see our kindergartners hard at work exploring!

🌴 Chicka Chicka Boom Boom... will there be enough room? 🌴

Mrs. Vaughn’s kindergarteners put their engineering skills to the test today! After diving into the classic story Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, our creative learners jumped into an exciting hands-on STEM challenge: designing and building their very own coconut trees.

Students put on their thinking caps to construct strong trunks and branches, then carefully balanced and counted foam letters to see just how much weight their trees could hold before toppling over. There was so much testing, counting, collaborating, and—of course—a few dramatic tree tumbles along the way!

We are so proud of these little engineers for exploring science, math, and literacy all in one fun lesson.

🍂 Hands-on fall learning in 2nd grade! 🍃

Mrs. Curry’s 2nd graders took their classroom outside today to explore the colors and textures of autumn! 🍁✨

Our young scholars collected different leaves around campus, created beautiful leaf rubbings, and practiced using descriptive adjectives to compare their finds. Then, they put on their scientist hats to research and write about why leaves change colors in the fall! 🔬📝

We love seeing science, writing, and nature come together for such an engaging, hands-on lesson. Great job, 2nd grade! 🧠💚

🧺 Lunch and Literacy on the Lawn 📖

We just wrapped up three beautiful days of Lunch and Literacy on the Lawn at Jefferson Elementary School! ☀️

There was nothing better than seeing our front field filled with smiling faces, wonderful books, and yummy lunches. Thank you to all our amazing students, families, teachers, and staff who made these afternoons on the lawn so special!

🍎✨ Crunching Numbers & Celebrating Legends at Jefferson Elementary! ✨🍏

Miss Smith and Miss Givens' 1st-grade ELT group had a bushel of fun celebrating Johnny Appleseed’s birthday! 🎂 Graphing math concepts became extra sweet as our little learners used Apple Jacks as hands-on math manipulatives.

Learning is always better (and tastier!) when you get to play with your math. Great job, 1st graders! 📊❤️

🎨 Big news for our talented Jefferson Elementary artists! 🎨

Our amazing JES students recently participated in the annual Art in the Park competition at Hurricane Shoals Park, and their brilliant artwork was showcased for the entire community to see! 🖼️✨

We are beyond proud to announce that we had 8 WINNERS this year! 🏆🎉

A huge congratulations to all of our creative students who poured their hearts into their masterpieces, and an extra-special shoutout to our incredible art teacher (and JES Teacher of the Year!), Mrs. Liz Wheeler! Thank you for inspiring, guiding, and encouraging our young artists every single day. 💕🖌️

Drop a ❤️ in the comments to celebrate our winning artists and congratulate Mrs. Wheeler!

🍎 Counting & Crunching in Kindergarten! 🍏

Learning is extra sweet in Mrs. Sheppard and Mrs. Jones’s Kindergarten class! Today during Extended Learning Time (ELT), our students had a blast practicing their counting skills using delicious Apple Jacks.

From sorting by color to counting each crunchy ring, these bright learners turned math time into a fun (and tasty!) hands-on activity. Way to go, Kindergarten! 🌟

🪜 One Step at a Time! 🔢

Ms. Truelove’s Kindergarten class is taking math skills to new heights! Today, our clever learners practiced building "one-more" number stairs from 1 all the way to 10.

By seeing and constructing how each number grows by just "one more," our students are building a strong foundation for math success—one block at a time! Great job, mathematicians! 🌟

🔢 Counting, grouping, and building math minds in 2nd grade! 🧮
Mrs. Pam Martin’s second graders at Jefferson Elementary had a blast diving into Counting Collections during math! 📊✨
By organizing, counting, and recording real-life collections—from buttons and tiles to counting bears—our young mathematicians are developing strong place value skills, skip-counting strategies, and teamwork. Working together to group items by 2s, 5s, and 10s makes big numbers much easier to master! 🧠💡
Way to go, 2nd-grade math whizzes! Keep up the amazing problem-solving! 🏫💛
