Some of the books are just for fun, while others help review important skills and subjects they have been learning in class. Students especially enjoy their “Starbooks” drinks and treats that go along with the activity!
What a fun and creative way to encourage reading and learning. Way to go, First Grade! 📚⭐🥤

They did a fun experiment using hot water and ice to see how it works. The students watched as the warm air rose and cooled, forming a “cloud” right in front of their eyes! 🤯
There were lots of excited reactions when the cloud appeared. Science is so much fun when you can see it happen! 🌥️

Have a great weekend!
Each staff member had a large heart displayed outside their classroom with their name on it. Throughout the week, students took turns visiting classrooms and writing kind, encouraging words on the hearts.
Kind words, appreciation, and love filled the hallways!

🎨 Mrs. Patterson’s art class was full of creativity today! Students rotated through centers where they worked on collages, drawing, and coloring. These hands-on activities give students the opportunity to explore different materials and techniques while expressing their unique ideas.
Art class is so important for elementary students because it sparks creativity, builds confidence, and strengthens fine motor skills. It also allows students to apply and expand on the skills they’ve been learning throughout the first two semesters—such as following directions, problem-solving, and thinking outside the box. Most importantly, art provides a safe space for self-expression and imagination to shine.
Way to go, artists! We have such talented and creative students here at Nike Elementary! 🖌️✨
