Music was in the air as our students practiced rhythm, followed along with the music, and took turns playing the xylophones! It was a fun, hands-on lesson filled with learning and creativity.
Cooler days will be here soon…hopefully! Before the jackets begin their annual migration to the lost and found, please label your child’s cold-weather gear with their first and last name. Help those wandering hoodies find their way home!!
Mrs Plum's class has been busy! They've been using candy corn to make shapes, what a sweet way to learn about shapes! They also watched a caterpillar go through its life cycle and become a butterfly. They were then able to release him and wish him safe travels as he travels south!
Mrs Plum's first graders learned how to make applesauce.
Mrs Shifflett's Pre-k students made bracelets to show they are a classroom family.
Our Pre-k students worked together to make a yummy snack mix!
Encore fun throughout the week!
Our students honored Patriot Day by wearing red, white, and blue and creating meaningful artwork as they learned about the heroes of September 11. We remember, honor, and celebrate the kindness, bravery, and unity that bring us together. ❤️🤍💙
It's Attendance Awareness Month. Here are some attendance tips for families.
Do you have a little time to make a BIG difference for a child? Shenandoah Elementary is looking for community members interested in volunteering with our students during the school week. Opportunities may include listening to students read, working with individuals or small groups, practicing letter sounds and sight words, helping with simple activities, and providing encouragement.
No teaching experience is necessary, and even 30 minutes can make an impact! If interested, please send a note to school or call the Shenandoah Elementary main office to have your name added to the volunteer list. We’ll follow up with information about the required Volunteer Application and available classroom opportunities
