📚 Thank you to the Kiwanis Club of Morenci! 📚

We are so grateful to our local Kiwanis Club for their thoughtful gift of dictionaries to our third-grade students! 💙

A dictionary is more than just a book. It’s a tool that helps students build reading comprehension, strengthen spelling skills, expand vocabulary, discover new words, and explore facts about the world around them. Most importantly, it encourages curiosity, independence, and a love of learning!

Thank you, Kiwanis Club, for investing in our students and helping them Unleash Their Potential! 🐾

🚒 Thank you, Morenci Fire Department! 🚒

Our students had a great time learning about fire safety! The firefighters shared important safety tips and gave our Bulldogs the opportunity to explore their fire trucks and equipment. We are so thankful for the support of our local community and the time these firefighters took to visit our school.

I think we may have a few future firefighters in the making!

Our young Bulldogs tested their taste buds by sampling three kinds of apples and sharing their favorites! They discovered that even though they're all apples, they don't all look or taste the same.

Students also explored the life cycle of an apple, got creative with an apple-themed craft, and practiced their math skills with a fun Math Around the Room activity that got them up, moving, and learning!

🍏 Team Red, Green, or Yellow Apple? Tell us your favorite in the comments!

Our DK and Kindergarten students had a special visit from Mrs. Smart from the LISD for a hands-on STEM lesson all about coding and robots!

Our youngest Bulldogs had a blast exploring how robots work and learning that coding can be pretty fun!

A big thank you to Mrs. Smart for bringing learning to life for our little Bulldogs! 🤍

Both buildings recently completed their first of two annual Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) drills!

Under the direction of School Nurse Becky, these drills, including a cardiac emergency response drill, help our teams stay current on procedures, practice their response skills, and be ready when every second counts.

A big THANK YOU to Nurse Becky and our MERT team members for their dedication, training, and commitment to keeping our students and staff safe. Your willingness to step up and be prepared makes a difference! 🤍

As part of our HMH Into Reading curriculum, our 4th graders read Blind Ambition, a story about overcoming obstacles and not letting challenges stand in the way.

To bring the lesson to life, students welcomed Doug Spade, his service dog Major, and business partner Mike Clement to the classroom. Doug shared his experiences living with blindness, and students could ask questions, learn about Major’s important role as a working service dog, and better understand experiences that may differ from their own.

It was a great lesson in respect, understanding, and resilience, all important parts of the Bulldog Way! 🤍🐾

What lesson about kindness or understanding do you hope children carry as they grow?

This week during our Second Step lesson, students practiced something we use every day in the classroom: how to get focused and ready to learn!

We talked about using our listening ears, watching the person who is talking, keeping our voices quiet, and calming our bodies when it’s time to listen and learn.

Students also tried "Focus Like an Owl,” a quick calming activity that helped them slow down, listen to the sounds around them, and get their minds and bodies ready to focus.

It was a fun way to practice an important classroom skill that we’ll keep using all year long! ❤️🐾

🦉 What helps you get focused and ready to learn?

Our Bulldogs have been jumping, tossing, rolling, balancing, racing, and laughing their way through PE!

From Ice Cream Cone races and obstacle courses to Bean Bag Toss, Hula Hoop Roll, Clean Your Room, Steal the Bacon, and Protect the Pin, there was definitely no shortage of action! 😄

And while they were busy having FUN, they were also building some pretty awesome skills like balance, coordination, aim, teamwork, communication, and quick thinking.

Lots of movement + lots of laughs = a GREAT week in the gym! 🐾🙌

💬 Okay, Bulldogs… which PE game would YOU jump in and play right now?!

These Bulldogs have been working hard, listening well, and showing some awesome behavior! Their efforts earned them a special treat: popsicles and a nature walk through the woods! 🌳

Way to go, Bulldogs! Keep up the great work! 🐾

In honor of Patriot Day, our 2nd graders learned about the importance of helping others and recognizing the everyday heroes in our communities.

Students read This Very Tree and created a special craft while discussing what it means to be a hero, showing courage, kindness, and help in times of need.

It was a thoughtful, age-appropriate way to learn about kindness, courage, and caring for one another. ❤️🤍💙

Community member and Morenci alumna Ivy Hutchison stopped by Mrs. Hutchison’s 3rd-grade classroom to read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and share a fun lesson on shades and tints!

Inspired by the story’s message that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect, you just have to start, students chose one color and mixed it with black and white to create different shades and tints for their own dots.

The results were colorful, creative, and uniquely theirs! ❤️

If you could create your own dot, what color would you choose?* 🎨

👏🐾 Let’s hear it for our Bulldog VIPs! 🦴

Our first Bulldog VIP Day was a HUGE success last week! Each week, Mrs. Fink randomly draws 2–3 names from the Bulldog Bones that students have earned for making great choices and working hard at school.

And being a VIP comes with a pretty awesome perk, the winners get to bring a friend and enjoy a special activity with a staff member! ❤️

From having fun to making memories and building connections, our first VIPs had a great time!

👏 Give these Bulldogs a round of applause and check out some of the VIP fun!

Keep earning those Bulldog Bones—you never know whose name will be drawn next! 🐾🦴

Sometimes it’s the little things that make school feel like home. ❤️

Two Bulldogs. Backpacks on. Walking side by side down the hallway. It may seem like an ordinary moment, but these are the moments that make elementary school special—friendships, smiles, laughter, and memories being made along the way.

Here’s to the friendships that make every school day a little brighter! 🐾

💬 What’s one friendship from your elementary school days that you still remember?

5th Graders Are Off to Camp!

Our 5th graders are headed to Camp Michindoh for an exciting week of learning, adventure, teamwork, and making memories!

Set among 250 beautiful acres of rolling hills, wetlands, and a private spring-fed lake, Michindoh offers our students opportunities to try new things, challenge themselves, work together, and enjoy the great outdoors.

A week at camp wouldn't be complete without some great food! The buffet-style dining is just one more part of the Michindoh experience.

We can't wait to hear about all of the adventures, laughs, challenges, and memories when our Bulldogs return! Have an amazing week, 5th graders!
