✨📚 Once upon a time at Byrd Elementary… students and families gathered for Read for a Treat Night! Dressed in their Halloween and fairy tale costumes, guests enjoyed magical literacy activities, trick-or-treating, and a stop at the enchanted book fair. 🧚♀️👑 It was a storybook evening filled with fun, learning, and a little bit of magic! 🎃💫
A reminder that there is no school on Tuesday this week. We hope to see everyone on Saturday at the Fall Festival! https://secure.smore.com/n/txemz
📚✨ It’s Book Character Day at Randolph Elementary! The halls were filled with favorite storybook characters as preschool and kindergarten students showed off their creative costumes during a morning parade. Older students lined the halls to cheer them on and celebrate a love of reading! ❤️📖
Fourth graders in Ms. Martin and Ms. Clark’s class participated in a hands-on activity to better understand prepositions! Students created paper airplanes and flew them around the classroom. Afterwards, they wrote sentences using prepositional phrases to describe how their planes flew or landed.
📚✨ Reminder! Join us tomorrow for Randolph’s Reading is Magical Family Literacy Night from 4–5 PM! Enjoy fun, engaging literacy activities for the whole family. 🪄
Afterwards, be sure to stop by our Book Fair from 5–7 PM to find some new enchanting reads! We can’t wait to see you there! 💫
🚀✈️🎨 Fourth graders at Randolph Elementary combined science, reading, writing, and art in one creative project! After reading about famous innovators like John Glenn, the Wright Brothers, and Rube Goldberg, students wrote about who these figures were, what they accomplished, why their work was important to science, and how their achievements inspired them.
To top it off, they decorated pumpkins to represent what they learned — a perfect mix of imagination and innovation! 🎃✨
