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!

Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Join the Pioneer Library summer learning challenge! This is a great way to stay reading and get rewards along the way. It will help our students and our library. For students that participate, they will be given a certificate at the end, to also be recognized at school in August. You can join online or go to the library!
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. ❤️
Savoring the sweet moments (and the snow cones) one last time. 🍧 Thank you Kona Ice for providing such a deliciously sweet treat to our students this school year!!
Miss Windham's third grade class learned about Winnipeg, the black bear who inspired Winnie the Pooh!💛
Her students studied bears, bees, and the pollination process. Through pollination tag and a Cheeto experiment, they experienced a little bit of what the life of a worker bee is like. 🐝🍯Using gummy bears and stuffed animals, her students also practiced their verb tenses and multiplication facts! How fun and yummy!!! 🧸
We have some amazing readers! 📕 These readers have read over 1,000,000 words this school year! 🎉
Today in PE and TEAMS, we had our annual Fruit and Vegetable Tasting! 🍎🥦🍓
Students had the opportunity to try a variety of fruits including papaya, kiwi, golden apples, strawberries, and blueberries. They also sampled vegetables such as bell peppers, sugar snap peas, and cauliflower.
Using their 5 senses, students discussed the colors, textures, smells, sounds, and tastes of each food while learning about the importance of making healthy choices. They discovered that fruits and vegetables are packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants that help strengthen our immune system, support digestion, improve skin health, boost brain focus and memory, and give us energy to stay active throughout the day. 💪🍇🥕
We also talked about the importance of healthy snacking and encouraged students to reach for fruits and veggies instead of chips and cookies whenever possible. We are proud of our students for being willing to try new foods and learn more about healthy living! 🍉✨
Thank you to Healthy Schools Oklahoma and TSET for allowing our students to have these opportunities! 🙌🏻 #hsok #tset

Mrs. Jones’ 5th Grade Science classes have been busy harvesting radishes from our garden!
We’ve also enjoyed time outside with the Walking Classroom... combining movement, discussion, and learning in the fresh air. 🎧☀️
As we begin wrapping up another amazing school year in PE and TEAMS, our students are finishing up their Fitness Testing while still having lots of fun learning new games and activities!
One of the new games we played today was bocce ball. Students worked in teams to roll the ball toward a hula hoop and land it inside while taking turns relay-style. After the first round, they quickly learned that bocce takes a gentle touch and a little strategy!
Tomorrow we are excited for our annual fruit and vegetable tasting 🍒🍇🍓🍉🍊🥕🥒🍆! Coach Franco taught students about the five food groups and had them create their own MyPlate 🍽️in TEAMS to help reinforce healthy eating habits.
We are so proud of all the hard work, teamwork, and growth our students have shown this year!
