Coleman Elementary School

Coleman Elementary students wrapped up their King and Queen Core Knowledge Language Arts unit with a fun and engaging celebration. 👑

Students dressed as kings and queens and worked together to complete an exciting escape room challenge. With just 45 minutes on the clock, teams solved four worksheets, each revealing a number needed to unlock the four-digit code and rescue the princess from the dragon! 🐉

Mrs. Rodger's 1st grade class explored science in a fun and exciting way by creating a cloud in a jar! They used a jar with warm water and a small amount of hairspray. The jar was sealed with a lid, and ice was placed on top to cool the air inside. This change from warm to cool created a foggy, cloudy reaction—just like a real cloud! It was a great hands-on learning experience, and our students loved seeing science come to life! 🌥️✨

We had a successful night at our Culver’s Dine to Donate! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who came out, worked hard, and supported the cause. We truly appreciate each and every one of you. It was a fantastic time all around! 💙

Curiosity is shining bright in Mrs. Canada’s 2nd grade classroom at Coleman Elementary! 💎

After several students shared their interest in crystals, including a few proud “crystal collectors,” Mr. Lane visited the class to share pieces from his personal collection. As a world traveler, he explained where he discovered each crystal and shared fascinating facts about its unique features with students.

Students were especially amazed to learn about the Cave of Crystals, home to a selenite crystal as large as a school bus. They had a blast exploring, asking questions, and carefully holding the crystals as they deepened their learning! ✨
