The 6th graders had great weather to learn about Ecosystem Succession at Chippewa Nature Center. Students used data circles to collect information about temperature, soil, and biotic/abiotic species from the meadow, the edge, and the forest. 🌿

This year, Coleman Elementary has a fun new vending machine... but it's not filled with what you might expect! Instead of snacks, our machine is stocked with books! A huge thank-you to Sleepy Dog Books for generously giving us this amazing machine for our students to enjoy. Students who earn iSpy a Leader tickets can turn them in to the office for a chance to visit the book vending machine and pick out a book to take home! Last week's leaders were Cole Murphy, Rhett Oldham, and Jaylynn Searight — great job, leaders!
Every class at Coleman Elementary set a WIG (Wildly Important Goal) for September, and this year our whole school teamed up on one big WIG: attendance! In Mrs. Young's room, students set a goal of 90% attendance, and they met it! Their reward? A yummy McDonald's meal, chosen by the students themselves. We're so proud of these kids for showing up and reaching their goal. Hard work (and great attendance) pays off!
Mrs. Pelletier's 3rd graders took advantage of a few rainy days by building their own rain gauges! 🌧️
Ms. Boulis's 5th graders enjoyed a deep dive into studying aquatic life at Chippewa Nature Center this week! 🌊
Please help us welcome Mr. Drew Maul as our new second grade elementary teacher starting on October 5th!
Mr. Maul has been teaching for five years overseas at the elementary level, at both The International School of Krakow and the American School of Bahrain. We are really fortunate to bring him on board. He has a strong knowledge of differentiated instruction, assessment and building culture within his classroom. We are really excited to introduce him to all of you.
Please help him feel welcome!

The 5th graders learned about Exotic Invasive Species on Monday with Chippewa Nature Center's, Mr. Frisbee. A great way to spend a beautiful fall day!
Mrs. Young's students got to practice safely using tools to take apart electronics! ⚡️ Some future engineers, perhaps?
Back on Constitution Day, the 6th graders participated in a live podcast from Mount Vernon (George Washington's home) with other schools across the US. Students were treated to a historical actor portraying Thomas Jefferson. He gave an in-depth talk on the Constitutional Convention and the writing of the Constitution. Our podcast was wrapped up with the Liberty Belles singing the anthems for each of the armed forces. Students stood to represent their family members who served in their perspective branches. It was an informative and fun afternoon!
