✨ Science in action! ✨
Mrs. Piazza's students explored science stations, learning all about matter—what it is and how it can be measured. They even got hands-on practice using a balance scale to compare different objects! 🧪⚖️
⏰ Time’s ticking! Basketball sign-ups are OPEN but the deadline is racing toward us—October 3rd! Don’t miss your shot! 🏀
Have you ever made ice cream before? Miss Windham's class has! 🍨✨After reading "A Sundae with Everything on It," her students summarized the story using the SWBST strategy-- Somebody Wanted But So Then. With inspiration from the quantum physicist mother in the story, her class turned into scientists with ice cream creations of their own! Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry... they can make it!🍫🍦🍓
📚✨ Students in Mrs. Ambrose's third grade class practiced their vocabulary words with a fun game of Stand Up, Hand Up, Pair Up! 🎶 While music played, they walked around with their hands up. When the music stopped, they found a partner. One student read a definition, and the other had to guess the vocabulary word. Then they switched roles before the music started again to find a new partner! 🙌👏
Lots of learning, movement, and smiles today!
🏐 Our Dragons are rocking the volleyball unit in PE! They’ve mastered the serve ✅ and are now learning how to bump and set 🙌.
We played the Helpful Net activity from OPEN, where teammates volleyed the ball back and forth over a jumprope “net.” The rope holders moved and adjusted to make sure everyone found success—talk about Cooperation in action! 🤝✨
We’re also starting to learn Newcomb, a fun lead-up game to volleyball. Along the way, we’ve been talking about our vocabulary words: Cooperation (working together) and Challenge (pushing ourselves to improve). 💪🔥
These Dragons are learning skills, teamwork, AND life lessons on the court! 🐉❤️
Book Fair is coming!! October 6 till October 9, we will be open during parent conferences as well!
❤️🐉 Our Purcell Intermediate Student Council showed their DRAGON PRIDE all week long! 🎉🙌 They marched with smiles in the Homecoming Parade on Friday, September 19 🎊🚶♂️🚶♀️ and have been leading the way each day—running our morning assemblies 🎤, making announcements 📢, and raising and lowering our flag 🇺🇸✨.
We are SO proud of their leadership, dedication, and commitment to our school and community! 💪🐉🔥 #DragonPride #StudentLeaders
We wrapped up our 4-Square unit with an optional tournament to put our skills to the test! 🎉 Students from each class were recognized, and winners were crowned King of the Court 👑. Players also voted for a Sportsmanship MVP in each class! 🏆
Our Sportsmanship MVPs were recognized for showing:
⭐ Cheering on others
⭐ Playing fair
⭐ Respecting the rules
⭐ Encouraging teammates and classmates
⭐ Keeping a positive attitude
Over the past few weeks, we’ve worked hard not only on 4-Square skills, but also on being great players who show integrity, friendship, and optimism both on and off the court. 💪❤️
Way to go, Dragons! 🐲🙌
Our third graders finished their NWEA MAP tests today and even with a little rain this morning, it won't stop them from blowing off some post-testing energy! 🐉⚡️
From books to building! 📚➡️🛠️ After checking out their library books, students in Mrs. Ambrose's third grade class explored STEM bins and even made their own bookmarks!
Twinning for the win! 🐉💚 Our third grade students showed off their Dragon Pride during Homecoming Week by dressing alike with a friend!
📚✨ Mrs. Gee’s 5th grade Language Arts students have been busy stretching their sentences! Instead of writing plain sentences, they’re learning to spice them up with adjectives and adverbs:
➡️ “The fluffy brown dog ran quickly down the street!” 🐶💨
➡️ “The gooey cheesy pizza disappeared hungrily in seconds!” 🍕😋
➡️ “The fiery red dragon roared loudly across the sky!” 🐉🔥
These sentence-stretching superstars are making their writing more vivid, creative, and fun! 🌟✏️
Look at our third graders thriving in both reading and math! Mrs. Davis' class was spotted in the library, reading and enjoying their books with one another. 📚They also engaged in place value games that improved their understanding of numbers in the thousandths place, comparing five-digit numbers, and forming new numbers based on value relationships. We love seeing their motivation to grow! So smart!! ✨
🏐🔥 Today in PE we had SO much fun! We kicked things off with Switch on the 4-Square courts ➡️⬅️⬆️⬇️🤩.
Then we started our volleyball unit 🎉🙌 learning the proper technique for the underhand serve 💪👏. Everyone worked hard and crushed it 💯!
We’re already pumped for next class because we’ll be playing BATTLESHIP 🚢🎯💥🏐 using the skills we learned today! 🎉
📚🇺🇸 US History in Mrs. Arnold’s 5th Grade!
Our students have been diving into early America by learning about the Powhatan people of Virginia. Today, we took history hands-on and practiced making cordage, just like the Powhatan people did long ago!
Learning history isn’t just about reading—it’s about experiencing how people lived and connecting to their world.

🌟✨ Science Fun in Mrs. Jones' 5th Grade! ✨🌟 Last week, we read "Bartholomew and the Oobleck" by Dr. Seuss, and today we got messy making our own oobleck! 🤩 It’s just cornstarch and water, so no worries—it doesn’t stain and washes off easily!
This amazing substance is both a solid and a liquid, depending on how you handle it. Learning is fun! 🧪💚
