When a tree had to be removed from our campus, students took notice - particularly 2nd grader Brooks Elmer. He was not pleased with the tree removal because it was his favorite tree. "It was my favorite tree because it was so big and old!" he says. Brooks decided to take action to replace what was lost. He started talking to his mom about it and she encouraged him to talk to his teacher about it. His teacher, Susan Cunningham, listened to what Brooks had to say and decided to take his passion and turn it into action. His class came alongside him and researched types of trees to plant. After conducting this research, his class decided to send this information out to the entire campus and each class voted on the type of tree they wanted. After the vote was completed, the winner was clear... RED MAPLE! Stay tuned for the process of how this tree is planted and the steps taken to ensure we get to enjoy this tree for a long time. Great job Brooks, his classmates and their teachers, Mrs. Cunningham and Mrs. Diaz, for supporting your students!
Mrs. Perez's 4th grade class has been researching the Macy's Day Parade and the holiday of Thanksgiving. The first day, they read the book Balloons Over Broadway, watched a couple of YouTube videos about the history of the parade and learned how the float balloons are made. On the second day, students brainstorm themes they might want to do and then they choose the one they will use. Then, they sketch out their design. On the third day, they begin making their balloons. Finally, students can present their choice and display in the hall! What a fun and creative way to be part of the design experience of one of our country's time honored traditions.
Happy Thanksgiving, Trojans!

Our Pre-K students kicked off the fall season with their very first field trip, strolling to a nearby pumpkin stand for some autumn fun! With the help of our wonderful Jenks campus police, our little ones crossed safely and enjoyed picking out their own pumpkins, generously gifted by Sooner Produce. Huge thanks to everyone who made this festive day a memorable one!
Mrs. Peper's 1st grade class has been learning about the pumpkin life cycle as well as presenting ideas through writing in a sequence of steps. These came together today when they wrote about how to carve a pumpkin while actually getting to help carve a pumpkin! It was a wonderful learning experience and all agree that pumpkin carving is very cool but the slimy seeds do not feel great!
Show us your favorite character by dressing up on October 31st! We can't wait to see you all!
Ms. Thomas' class is showing there are no limits to what pre-k can do! Our youngest Trojans are learning multi-step directions through their farm unit by making butter! These students are learning by creating something by following steps and listening carefully. Excellent job, Ms. Thomas for making learning fun for students and putting trust in them that they can participate in a new experience!
The annual book character pumpkin contest is underway! Classes in building F are voting for a character in a beloved book and then decorating their pumpkins for a fun contest in Mrs. Cates' library. In Ms. Kelly's 1st grade class, the students took their leadership jobs even further by creating teams to complete their pumpkin masterpiece. This student is part of the painting team. Thank you parents for donating materials and volunteering to help bring their creativity to life! Who will win the contest? We will find out!
