Glenview Elementary

We are so grateful to Vanderbilt CRNAs for a generous donation of food to create summer food bags for our families! A huge shout out to Woodmen Valley Chapel volunteers for helping sort and package food bags, as well as clean out and organize our clothing closet. We are lucky to have such wonderful volunteers!

Promising Scholars is in full swing at Glenview and we are having FUN! Students are enjoying continuing their learning from the school year, as well as participating in STEAM activities and PE!

Families, be on the lookout for a meet and greet with our new principal later this summer!

It may be summer time, but we are still dreaming of the amazing things that occurred in our classrooms this year! The last week of school our second graders hosted their own Farmer's Market as the culmination of both math and reading units. The students had learned about healthy foods and had to select a food to create using clay and then sell their food at the Farmer's Market. They put the money skills they learned in math to the test as they sold and gave change to their classmates purchasing their healthy foods! Students incorporated our Dual Language theme by presenting their goods in both English and Spanish. Way to go second grade!

Today was another day of celebration and joy at Glenview! Our fifth grade students celebrated their accomplishments with a promotion ceremony, musical performance, and final walk through the halls of this amazing school. We will miss their presence and leadership next year, but look forward to celebrating their future successes! Way to go fifth grade!

Our fourth grade scholars rocked out at their STEM Careers Wax Museum! Their hard work, research, and practice paid off as they showcased superb public speaking skills and shared valuable knowledge about these important careers. Way to go fourth grade!

Today we enjoyed celebrating our Pre-K students and their promotion to kindergarten! We have loved watching these students grow this year and look forward to the amazing things they will do in the future!

In fourth grade science, students learn about food webs and ecosystems. To bring this learning to life, our fourth graders had a visit from the Nashville Zoo this week and got to learn about three different animals, their ecosystems, and how they survive. Students enjoyed learning about the ball python, the Mexican box turtle, and a skunk. We love when learning becomes real!

At Glenview, we utilize AVID to make sure our students are college and career ready. Our fourth grade students took things to the next level, researching STEM careers as a culmination to their year-long learning in science! They had to research the career, why it is important, the tools they use, and the uniforms they wear. Then, students practiced and made videos! They will be presenting their careers live at a Wax Museum this week. Check out these talented fourth graders!
