This week is International Children's Book Week and VES has been celebrating their favorite books! Students are voting on their favorite characters, we are determing the library's top checked-out authors, and teachers have revealed their favorite books of all time. PARENTS: we want to hear from you!! What was your favorite story as a child? Comment below!
Don't forget to sign your student up for our school wide color run (every student must have a permission slip) and help your student earn fun prizes while helping our school raise money for STEM activities"?

🎩☕🐇 Wonderland came to 3rd grade! 🐇☕🎩
Our students wrapped up the CKLA Classic Tales Unit with an unforgettable Alice in Wonderland Tea Party Day! Teachers dressed up, classrooms were transformed, and students showed off their best tea party outfits.
From reading about Alice’s Mad Hatter adventure and discussing theme and personification, to writing imaginative stories, tackling math arrays and division, exploring weather hazards, and even building Wonderland towers — it was a magical day of learning, laughter, and creativity.

Congratulations to August's Soaring Eagle Award Winners. These students were great examples of the BIG Three: treating others right, making smart decisions and maximizing their potential. Way to go!
Our second graders just wrapped up an exciting Fairy Tale and Tall Tale unit! 📚✨ Throughout the unit, students explored the unique characteristics that define these imaginative and fictional stories. They practiced retelling classic tales by creating creative and colorful story boxes, bringing their favorite characters and events to life. As part of a fun STEM challenge, they designed and built sturdy pens for Babe the Blue Ox, inspired by the legendary tall tale of Paul Bunyan. To top it all off, they celebrated their learning with a magical dress-up day—bringing fairy tales and tall tales to life in the classroom! 🐂👑📖
