Mrs. Jones’ homeroom had a great first couple of days in science! They jumped right in with STEM Bins—building, creating, working together, and having a little fun along the way. A great way to start the year!

What better way to start the school year than by laughing, eating, and having fun!! 🤩
In Miss Windham's third grade class, there has been a lot of team building, communication learning, and procedure practicing!
🎈❤️Balloon challenges- using only pointer fingers, using only one hand, using only one hand and one leg, and staying seated while only using their pointer fingers to pass the balloon.
✨🧱STEM fun!
🪱🛟 Saving Fred the Gummy Worm- keeping him dry, securing him in a life raft, successfully building a carrier for him to zipline, and providing him with shelter during a storm!

🎉 BACK TO SCHOOL IN PE! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
We had a GREAT first two days in PE! ❤️🖤
This week, we learned our expectations and procedures while having a LOT of fun! We jumped right in with games like Head, Shoulders, Knees, Color; Jack in the Box; Jack In, Jack Out; In the River, On the Bank; and the Crazy Card Challenge! 🃏
Through all the fun, our Dragons were working on listening, reaction time, cooperation, communication, teamwork, and—most importantly—getting to know each other! 🐉
What a fantastic start to the school year! We can’t wait to see what this year brings! Let’s GO, Dragons! ❤️🖤

Teresa Piazza, Tara Tyler, and Stephanie Knowles attended the Summer Academy: Standards on the Move, a professional learning workshop focused on integrating movement and skills-based health education.
Day 1 featured a hands-on skill-building session where participants learned how to design lesson plans that meaningfully combine movement with health content.
Day 2 included breakout sessions tailored to content areas such as science, literacy, and physical education, providing strategies to strengthen instruction across disciplines.
The overall message of the training emphasized that purposeful movement matters. Engaging students in movement supports learning by increasing blood flow and oxygen to the brain, releasing chemicals that enhance memory and retention, and reducing fatigue and stress.
A big thank you to Shana Classen and the Oklahoma State Department of Education for two impactful days of professional learning and collaboration!

Mrs. Ambrose's class is officially ready for fourth grade! 🎒They wrapped up third grade with an epic final week of daily themes and hands-on fun. From a Beach Party on Monday to a Parent Picnic on Friday, they certainly ended the year with a bang! See you in August, future fourth graders! ☀️⛱️

Can you believe it's already summer??? ☀️🍉 Miss Windham's third graders made sure to finish strong and have as much fun as they could!! They enjoyed various festivities with a different theme every day. Monday was Beach Day, Tuesday was Dinosaur Dig Day, Wednesday was Wild West Day, Thursday was Hollywood Glam Day, and Friday was the final Parent Picnic Day! Her students even wished Mrs. Mc a wonderful retirement and walked the red carpet!! ✨♥️

Throughout the school year, you have probably seen this incredible woman in many of our posts-- Atlee cow updates, chick candling and hatching, butter making, etc. 🐮🐣 Laura Vandaveer has gone above and beyond with our third grade classes and Mrs. Arnold's fifth grade classes. On Thursday, we were able to express our deepest gratitude to her for all the fun, support, love, and patience she showed our students! Thank you Laura!!! ✨💗

Our 5th Grade Fun in the Sun Party was a wonderful success! We loved celebrating our fifth graders and all they’ve accomplished at Purcell Intermediate. We are going to miss this amazing group as they move on to junior high! ☀️🎉🎓🐉❤️
Student Council and K-Kids did a fabulous job organizing, setting up, and helping make this event unforgettable! Students enjoyed a candy bar walk, 9 Square in the Air, volleyball, cornhole, pickleball, Gaga Ball, photo booth, tattoos, bubbles, and so much more!
A huge thank you to our fifth grade teachers, STUCO and K-Kids parents, and all of our volunteers who sent refreshments, worked stations, and helped clean up after the party. Your support helped make the day extra special for our students!
We would also like to thank Landmark Church ✝️ for generously allowing us to borrow cornhole boards for the celebration. ❤️
