Coleman Elementary 3rd grade students put a fun twist on Roll and Read. 🎲
Ms. Devine transformed the activity into a game of Connect Four, adding an extra layer of strategy to literacy practice. As students read and select words, they carefully plan their moves to build a winning row while preventing their partner from connecting four.

3rd grade students in Ms. Mathew’s class at Coleman Elementary explored how and why flowers are pollinated through a hands-on science activity! 🐝💛
Students created flower models out of paper and bee models out of pipe cleaners, then flew their bees from flower to flower to observe what happened to the flowers’ “pollen” during the process.

Congratulations to our 3rd and 4th grade Girls on the Run participants. On Saturday, they completed a 5k event in downtown St. Louis alongside thousands of others from around the region. This non-competitive race marked the culmination of a successful season for our Girls on the Run.
Coleman Elementary 1st graders in Mrs. Rodgers’ and Mrs. O’Halloran’s classes wrapped up their Language Arts lesson on “A New Nation: American Independence” with a Boston Tea Party experience. ☕️
Students created headbands showing the sequence of events and wrote sentences using the words goods, taxes, King, and Congress. They decorated tea cups while discussing “no taxation without representation,” and even used feather pens to write their own declarations.
The learning continued with a science experiment using tea bags and warm water, where students explored concepts like time, temperature, color change, and dissolve.
It was a fun and engaging way to bring history and science together for a memorable, tea-riffic experience!
