Coleman Elementary School

As families are about to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We would like to highlight how our Coleman Warriors have been giving to others in need and showing thanks. Earlier in the month, our students were busy collecting food for families in need. Congratulations to Mrs. O’Halloran’s class for collecting the most items. Our 1st and 2nd grade classes wrote very personal reflections about what they are most thankful for. We are so proud and thankful to have such a caring school community. 💜

We ended the week with our First Trimester Awards Assembly! Great Job Warriors!

Just a few of the items that each of our vendors are selling tomorrow. Come hungry! We will have biscuits & gravy, and freshly made donuts for sale. With so many vendors, you are certain to find some great things.

Students in Mrs. Watson's 3rd grade class had their narrative writing celebration on Wednesday. Students shared their narratives with family and friends. Great work!! You all should be very proud.

Ms. Jones’ KDG and Ms. Mathew's 3RD GR classes started buddy groups at Coleman Elem. last week. Students will meet every few weeks throughout the year to partner-read or complete an activity together. This is an effective way to encourage positive relationships between students!

Students enjoyed lunch outside today. It was nice to see everyone sharing spaces, playing, and making new friends.

Lots of fun and excitement the past couple of days. The Coleman Trunk or Treat and Halloween Parade were a great success. So many fun costumes. And more importantly, SMILES and memories!!

Spooky topics make for fun writing activities. Students in Kindergarten made lists of ingredients for Witches Brew. 3rd graders created unique and interesting monsters. Once finished, they used adjectives to describe different characteristics of the monster.

Lots of Ghouls and Goblins attended Coleman's Trunk or Treat Friday Evening. Fun all around!!

"Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest" It was neat to see all the creative ideas and designs for the pumpkins. Each one, unique and interesting. Great job Coleman Warriors!! Reminder: Please try to pick up your pumpkin this evening at the Trunk or Treat.

The Future is So Bright for the students at Coleman. Our kiddos dressed up in bright colors on Wednesday. Followed by the careers they aspire to be on Thursday. The possibilities are endless.

Students and staff were showing their passions today. Whether it was a favorite video game, sport, or holiday. We have a wide variety of interests.

Red, Red, Everywhere. Students and faculty were all dressed up in red today in recognition of "Red Ribbon Week".

Red Ribbon Week October 23rd-27th Students are encouraged to dress up this week.

Daniel Boone Home Field Trip Last week, third graders had an amazing time at Daniel Boone's home. Students got to tour his residence and experience how pioneer children learned in a one room school house. They learned about woodworking and explored how pioneers used black powder to survive. Students were asking lots of questions to better understand that time period. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Kindergarten Field Trip Last week, our friends had their first field trip at the Magic House. Lots of imagining, building, investigating, and learning went on. But most importantly, they had FUN!
