There is always an opportunity to love and learn. 🐢
During a recent recess, Coleman Elementary students discovered a turtle and observed from a safe distance without touching. As they followed along, they connected the moment to perseverance, one of our core words!
When the turtle reached the fence and needed a little help, students worked together with school counselor Ms. Wengler-Gomes to gently create space for it to pass through and return to the tree line.
These small, unplanned moments of caring for living things, learning together, and working as a team leave a lasting impact. 💚

Coleman Elementary and Pacific High School DECA students collected 111 pounds of tab tops this school year to support the Ronald McDonald House. ❤️
When the tabs were delivered, the recycling center hosted a celebration to promote the Ronald McDonald House. Students and staff enjoyed balloon animals, face painting, yard games, food trucks, and more!
It was inspiring to see the impact of this ongoing effort that we were able to support.

Preschoolers in Mrs. Finger’s class at Coleman Elementary recently enjoyed a hands-on day of learning thanks to a gift card from the St. Louis Dairy Council. ❤️
Students explored a variety of dairy products by tasting strawberry yogurt, different types of cheese, and several flavors of milk, even dipping graham crackers into milk!
Afterward, they put their math skills to work by graphing their favorite cheeses and counting which ones they liked and did not like. The activity also encouraged students to use their five senses while learning where dairy products come from.

Students in Mrs. Canada’s 2nd grade class at Coleman Elementary are building collaboration skills while practicing a Kagan learning strategy called Think, Pair, Share. 🤝
They begin by working through answers independently, then partner up to compare their thinking. If their answers match, they move on, and if not, they work together to problem-solve and come to a shared understanding.
Students did a wonderful job demonstrating teamwork and thoughtful communication throughout the activity!

Kindergarten students at Coleman Elementary had a hands-on learning experience during their Language Arts Farm unit! 🐣
With guidance from Ms. Peirick, Ms. Jones, and Ms. Butera, students watched chicks hatch, explored building barns using different materials, and discovered so many exciting parts of farm life along the way.
It was a wonderful mix of curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning in action!

Coleman’s 1st graders put on a wonderful performance of “Down on the Farm” last week! 🐄🐥🐷
The students had the audience smiling and laughing with their lively songs about ducks, cows, and the entire barnyard. What a fun and memorable show—great job to all our young performers!

At Coleman Elementary, Mrs. Peirick’s class had a fun and educational experience hatching Peeps! 🐣
Students not only explored science, but also practiced our school’s four core values: respect, responsibility, empathy, and perseverance.
Each student cared for an egg for a week. When it hatched, they received a birth certificate from the Easter Bunny and completed a baby book to document their new “chick!”

Thank you to all voters who participated in the April 7 election and took the time to consider Prop S.
On Tuesday, the unofficial results for Prop S, the proposed no tax rate change bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District, showed 56.5% voter approval, falling short of the 57.14% required for passage by 22 votes.
This outcome means we will not be moving forward at this time with plans to construct a new middle school or address the identified facility needs across our schools, including important safety and security upgrades.
The Board of Education and administration remain committed to exploring options to address the district’s facility needs. We will continue engaging with community members and staff as we determine next steps and evaluate future solutions.
We appreciate your continued support of our students, staff, and schools.

Coleman Elementary 3rd graders wrapped up their Invisible Forces unit with hands-on learning focused on magnets and engineering! 🧲
Students applied their understanding by designing a magnetic lock that could open a paper door. Using the engineering design process, they tested and improved their creations with simple materials like notecards, paper fasteners, paper clips, and dot stickers. 💡

Coleman Elementary 1st graders in Mrs. Rodger’s class have been exploring weather during their science unit! ⛈️
Students took their learning outside, observing the sky and documenting different types of clouds as they watched them form and move.
The learning continued indoors as students created their own “cloud in a jar” using warm water, hairspray, and ice!

Students are enjoying the new additions to the hallway. Sensory hallways offer a wide range of benefits, including supporting self-regulation, promoting calmness and focus, encouraging physical activity, and fostering inclusion for students of all abilities.
Coleman Elementary students got creative in celebration of St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
After reading “How to Catch a Leprechaun,” students brainstormed their own ideas for catching a leprechaun and put their plans into action by building traps together!
