Coleman Elementary School

Coleman Elementary celebrated its 2nd annual Kindness Rocks project with creativity and heart. Students read the book “Kindness Rocks,” painted their own rocks, and thoughtfully chose kind words and messages to share with others. 🎨

The refreshed rock garden is now filled with new love and positivity!

Preschool students at Coleman Elementary made the most of the fresh snowfall before it had a chance to melt!

During recess, students headed outside with shovels and buckets to scoop, build, and explore together. ❄️

At Coleman Elementary, small group counseling sessions are using brick-based activities with LEGO materials to support emotional awareness and regulation. 💜

In this lesson, students designed structures to represent an emotion of their choice and shared how their creations reflected those feelings. The activity encouraged thoughtful conversations about emotional regulation, dysregulation, and how emotions can look and feel different for everyone.

Coleman Elementary students are starting their mornings with “Peanut Butter, Jelly Time.” 🧠 In Mrs. Canada’s class, students work with a partner each morning to practice math fact fluency. Partners rotate every few weeks, giving students the chance to learn from one another. ❤️ #MVNation

Third grade music students at Coleman Elementary have been building their note-reading skills! 🎼

Students learned about the staff, treble clef, and the note names for lines and spaces. After using familiar phrases like Every Good Boy Does Fine and FACE, they worked in groups to create their own sayings to help remember the order of the notes.

Their creativity led to many fun and memorable ideas! 💜

Coleman's Character Council is hosting a winter gear drive for the Agape house. Please send in items with your favorite Warrior or drop off at the main office.

Students in Ms. Jones' Kindergarten class have started the science unit: Properties of Matter! Focusing on the property of color. Students used their sense of sight to investigate and find certain colors in a magazine. The classroom was full of smiles, laughter, and curiosity!

When it's too warm to build a real snowman, you have to draw one instead. Yesterday, 2nd graders in art were busy finishing their snowman drawings. Students used oil pastels to blend and created shadows to give the illusion of three-dimension. Finishing touches included decorating their snowman to make them unique. ⛄️

Difference Makers: This week our Difference Makers are Zoey and Mazey. These girls were both walking down the hallway in a respectful and responsible way. Without knowing it, they were good leaders to another class of younger students who happened to pass by. Great Job Warriors! 💜🤍

Best way to start the day is with a good stretch. Coleman Poms had a great first day this morning. Students practiced a basketball cheer and learned a portion of their dance. Great job Coleman Poms! 💜🤍

Two of our Coleman Warriors wanted to help those in need and give back to the community. Before Christmas, Micah and Hayden donated food to fill the Coleman Food Pantry. Thank you for being Difference Makers in the community. 💜🤍

Give students a big empty box, and the possibilities are endless. One day it's a Time Machine, the next, a rocket traveling to far away places. Creative play fosters social and mental development, problem solving skills, decision making, and self-expression. Students in Mrs. Dugan's class had a "blast" using their imagination.

Merry Christmas Everyone! We hope you all have a joyous day celebrating.

What words cannot describe, the smiles will. Yesterday was our annual Winter Wonderland event hosted by PTO, and as usual, it did not disappoint. The kids had a great time decorating cookies and ornaments, playing reindeer games, having a snowball fight, dancing, playing bingo, and making reindeer food. The parents, volunteers, and staff throughout the day worked so hard to make this day extra special. Thank you Coleman PTO. You all are amazing!

Polar Express Day: Students and staff were all warm and cozy dressed in their jammies today.

This week, preschool is reading "The Gingerbread Man." They decorated their own Gingerbread Man and talked about what to do if they wanted to share the cookie with a friend. They learned about two equal halves make one whole and determined that they would need to cut the cookie in half to share. As in the story, the gingerbread runs away. While the students were away, the gingerbreads tried to run away, luckily Mrs. Fingers caught them before they could escape.

Thank you so much to the Robertsville Masonic Lodge and their generous donation of $2,100 to Coleman Elementary. With the funds, we will be able to help provide for our students in need.
