We’re so excited to have Brent Broussard investing in our 5th grade boys!

Mr. Broussard will be spending time with our boys, sharing encouragement, wisdom, and life lessons as they grow and prepare for the next chapter. Having positive role models and mentors who are willing to pour into our students is such a gift!

We’re grateful for Mr. Broussard's willingness to invest in these young men and look forward to seeing the impact of these relationships throughout the year. We know the time, conversations, and encouragement will mean so much to our boys! 💚💛

👻 The Least Scary Thing About October

Feedback isn't frightening — it just sounds that way! October's Power Word is Coachability: being open to learning from others and treating mistakes as practice, not failure. Our Cougar Cubs are about to discover that three little letters, "y-e-t," can turn "I can't" into "I can't... yet." Ask at home: "What's something you're still learning to do?"

First grade French immersion students in Mrs. Vincent’s class partnered up to read “Bud the Cat”from their CKLA readers. After reading, they sequenced and illustrated four important events from the story on a graphic organizer. A great way to practice reading comprehension while bringing the story to life! 📚

This week in the library, we read the book Pumpkin Jack, explored the life cycle of a pumpkin, and met our very own pumpkin, Jacklyn!

We are so excited to watch Jacklyn change throughout the year! Students will be observing her, making predictions, and learning along the way. We can’t wait to see what happens! 🎃🍂

Our September Power Word is COMMUNICATION!

This month in library, we’ve been learning that communication is more than just talking. It’s sharing information, thoughts, or feelings with someone else through the way we talk, listen, write, and use our bodies to understand each other and be understood.

Through read-alouds and fun activities like Telephone and Charades, our students have been practicing how to communicate clearly, listen carefully, and pay attention to the many ways people share ideas and feelings.

Communication is a skill we use every day, and our Cougar Cubs are learning that being a good communicator also means being a good listener! 💚💛
