With Kindergarten registration opening soon, now is a great time to take a look at what some of our current KDG students are experiencing. Mrs. O’Halloran and Ms. Jones’ classes had a farm day to celebrate the end of their unit. Activities included a scavenger hunt, farmers' market, sensory bins, & more. Our Kindergarten "farmers" harvested carrots to make consonant-vowel-consonant words, matched numbers to farm animals, & sorted upper & lowercase letters. #MVNation #GrowingTogether

November was a huge month of giving for Coleman Elementary. Students collected over 1,000 items during the school food drive, providing meals to families for Thanksgiving.

The Coleman Elementary community is so thankful for the support and generosity of our students and local organizations. You are all Difference Makers!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Have you ever wondered why the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade started and the story behind the giant balloons? Our 3rd grade students can tell you all about it. Last week, they read "Balloons Over Broadway". The true story of Tony Sarg, the master puppeteer, and original creator of the balloons. In addition, our 3rd graders brainstormed, planned, and created their own balloons on Broadway. They watched a video about how the real Thanksgiving Day parade floats are made. So much creativity!
If you are having a hard time finding a turkey for Thanksgiving, you may have to look a little bit closer. Families at Coleman were given the challenge of disguising a Turkey as a book character to keep it from being eaten. This project went along with the book "Turkey Trouble". So many good ideas.
This week, second grade celebrated the end of their Ancient Greek Civilization unit in reading with Potato Olympics! Students' potatoes participated in the Olympic events of gymnastics, bowling, rolling, and dancing. This activity incorporated math, teamwork, sportsmanship, creativity, and a whole bunch of fun.
