Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. On Friday our kindergarten students were very busy building and setting up their Leprechaun traps.
We hope they are lucky and catch one today.

It was a great day for a parade. Coleman Poms participated in the Pacific St. Patrick's Day Parade today.
So many people attended and the streets were packed.











Students in Mrs. Watson's 3rd Grade held a "Writing Celebration" to showcase their informational writing. Topics included cars, cobras, Travis Scott, and severe weather. Students are more eager to research and write about topics that are of interest to them. Great job Warriors!

Yesterday was an exciting day. Special guest author and illustrator David Biedrzycki came to speak to our students. It was interesting to hear about his journey and the process he completes to write and illustrate his books. Our students helped him as he demonstrated drawing on his computer along with answering questions. His book “Invasion of the Unicorns” is very popular with our students and also a Show-Me Nominee. So many of our students and staff dressed for the occasion.











The MVR-III Special Education Department holds an annual field day, and this year students at each building will have a superhero-themed shirt to represent their specific school. You can purchase your own shirt at bit.ly/MVR3SFD, & a portion of the proceeds will help fund the activities we have in store for them. Just take a look at last year’s event video to see what you’d be supporting:

Mrs. Guenzler's 2nd Grade class has been learning about landforms during Science. The students had fun making their landforms out of model magic. Creative and hands-on learning experiences are a beneficial way for students to apply, demonstrate, and retain what they have learned.

Coleman Elementary's new Motor Lab addition has been a great success. Thanks to Mrs. Wengler-Gomes, the CE counselor, students are regularly able to visit the motor lab for exercise, task completion, or a movement break. This re-energizes students and gets their bodies and minds ready to learn! #MVNation
