Hatching day brought so much excitement—students started the morning watching one chick emerge and ended the day celebrating another new arrival! The highlight for many was “holding day,” where students earned the opportunity to hold the chicks by demonstrating responsibility and perseverance during their MAP prep.
For some, it was their very first time holding a chick, and they handled the experience with such care and kindness. ❤️ The class welcomed 12 chicks in total and will be naming each one!
While the chicks have now moved to their forever home, students will continue to receive updates and check-ins throughout the year to watch them grow and change. What an incredible hands-on learning experience! 🌱🐥

Students were able to head outside, enjoy the beautiful weather, and spend some fun time together searching for eggs. It was a joyful opportunity for laughter, friendship, and enjoying the springtime festivities! A big thank you to some of our 4th graders for helping set up this special activity and making the day extra smooth and fun for our younger students!

Students explored each season through hands-on activities—writing in pretend snow, predicting how many drops a spring rain cloud could hold, enjoying a tasty summer beach snack, and creating beautiful fall leaf trees. What a great way to celebrate learning all year long!

Each day, students explore a new story and discover different environments from around the world—like the freezing Arctic ❄️, the hot desert 🌵, and the lush rainforest 🌿. Along the way, they’re learning what animals eat, where they live, and how they survive in their unique habitats.
It’s been a fun and engaging adventure as these young learners travel the world—right from their classroom! 📚✨

Today, some of our students participated in DRC online training with Dr. Tollison. They were fully engaged, focused, and ready to learn throughout the session.
We are so proud of their hard work and preparation—they are definitely ready to show what they know on the MAP test!

Students were greeted by Dr. Tollison and had the chance to explore a Kindergarten classroom, visit staff from the transportation office and tour a school bus, check out the cafeteria and library, and meet our counselor, nurse, office staff, and SACC (School-Aged Child Care) team.
We also had our Pre-K program and the Doris Hoffman Early Learning Center on-site to sign children up for Pre-K screening and to share information about the Pre-K program for next school year.
Students enjoyed a fun scavenger hunt with visual clues to help them locate important areas around the building—and they even earned a yummy prize at the end! They also stopped by the photo op station to capture some fun memories along the way.
We are so excited to welcome our new Kindergarteners to Nike Elementary next year!
If you have an incoming Kindergartener—or know someone who does and lives in the Nike Elementary attendance area—please encourage them to call the school and get registered for the upcoming school year. Registering early helps create a smoother transition for students and allows us to better prepare for a great year ahead.

Students have been learning how to measure to the nearest yard, and they put their skills to the test by using sticks to measure different spots and items around the hallways. From counting inches to figuring out how many yards they make, these young mathematicians were hard at work!
Working in pairs, students helped each other practice and problem-solve—making learning both fun and collaborative. Way to go, 2nd grade! 👏
