Coleman Elementary School

A huge shoutout to Guffey's Pizza and everyone who participated in our Dine to Donate last week. With all the proceeds from sales they were able to donate $460 back to Coleman Elementary. Guffey's is an amazing supporter of the entire district and community. We appreciate all of their continued support.

PHS Cheer is hosting both a Mother Son Dance (Saturday, Oct. 11) and a Princess Ball (Saturday, Oct. 25)! The events will be 6-8 PM at Pacific High School, and students from preschool to 4th grade are invited. Use the QR code to register now! #MVNation

Students in Ms. Smith's class made human base ten charts in math. The students laying/sitting down were the ones and those standing were the tens. Such a fun way to make math collaborative and get students up and moving during math.

Tomorrow is United Way Hat Day. Students at Coleman may bring in $1, and wear a heat for the day.

So many Difference Makers this week. Congratulations Sebastian, Sam, Kinsly, Gaby, and Mazey. Helping others, demonstrating manners in the hallway, being a leader for classmates, and working to keep our school clean. These students are demonstrating what it truly means to be a Coleman Warrior!

Today, Mrs.Peiricks class celebrated the first day of fall by going and finding five special leaves to turn into a craft.

Mums will be arriving tomorrow! Please try and pick up some time during the day or in the evening. Thank you to everyone who sold and purchased. We are incredibly thankful for your continued support.

Muffins with the Mayor Earlier this week, 2nd graders had a special visit with the mayor of Pacific, Heather Filley. As part of their government and civics unit. Students were able to listen, ask questions, and learn what the job of mayor entails.

During ABC boot camp, Coleman Elementary kindergarten students learned the letter “F” stands for friendship. Students made friendship bracelets to celebrate. In Ms. Jones’ kindergarten class, learning and fun go hand in hand!

Yesterday was a great day for flashlight reading in Mrs. Canada's room. Students curled up in a comfortable spot and read.

2nd grade students completed their Fairytale and Tall Tales unit this week. To celebrate, students were encouraged to dress up in character. Everyone participated in various activities that included comparing and contrasting between fairytales and tall tales, writing, and a craft.

Today, Coleman Elementary welcomed local firefighters, paramedics, and police officers to join students at lunch and recess. Patriot Day is a day of remembrance for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. In addition, it is an important day for our students to show appreciation and build relationships with first responders.

Did you know MVR-III has its own Parents as Teachers program? We do, and it's FREE! We are excited to offer our services to anyone within the district. To learn about the program and to sign up, visit bit.ly/MVR3PAT or call the Early Learning Center at 636-271-1464. #MVNation

Congratulations to our Difference Makers this week. Aaron helped a classmate. Aubree is a good listener and lines up at a zero every time. Beckett helped a PreK student make it into school after having a hard time leaving their parent. Awesome job everyone!

1st graders are holding the keys to being responsible citizens! Earlier this week, they learned about teamwork by building a puzzle made of pieces that the students decorated themselves! Great job 1st graders.

So many Difference Makers to be proud of this week. Theo helped a preschooler with his zipper. Lucy is a kindergarten rock star. Ryker helped another student in motor lab and demonstrated our 4 core values during counseling time. Scotti helped a classmate hang up his backpack and get to breakfast.

MVR-III is excited to announce Dental Safari as our new mobile dental company. Dental Safari offers onsite dentistry with a wide range of services such as comprehensive oral evaluation, digital radiographs, cleaning, sealants, fluoride treatment, in class dental education, and onsite follow up restorative care if needed. Dental Safari focuses on child care at school and brings the office to the patient. Children can quickly visit the dentist and return to class, reducing the amount of missed class time.

Being a good role model and leader can happen at any age. One of our preschoolers, Jacie, was given the difference maker award this week from our Custodian Ms. Debbie. Jacie picked up trash in the lunchroom without being asked.
Great job Jacie!!💜🤍
