❤️🤍💙 Honoring Our Veterans! 💙🤍❤️
Morenci Elementary welcomed approximately 30 veterans and their families for a special Veterans Day Breakfast on November 11. Our cafeteria was filled with red, white, and blue decorations, and students created signs and posters to show their appreciation.
A special highlight was our Morenci Veterans Wall of Honor, featuring photographs of 85 veterans with connections to Morenci families. Each photograph represents a story of service, sacrifice, and dedication to our country.
Thank you to all who have served and to the families who support them. We are proud to honor you and grateful for your service!

Family STEAM Night
Last week, families joined us for an evening of hands-on STEAM activities! STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) gives students opportunities to explore, create, build, design, experiment, and solve problems. It was wonderful to see parents and children working together, trying new things, and having fun while learning!

Our first graders put their science skills to the test as they explored how different bird beaks help birds eat different types of food!
Using long, pointy beaks like a warbler to pick up tiny seeds and flat beaks like a duck to scoop up food, students discovered that eating like a bird isn't as easy as it looks! 😄
It was a fun, hands-on challenge filled with learning, laughter, and a little frustration!
🐦 Which beak do you think would be easier to use?

📚 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 hallways are bursting with color, creativity, and one-of-a-kind masterpieces! Who knew a walk to class could feel like a trip to an art gallery? 🐾✨

Who says learning has to stay inside four walls? These young Bulldogs are soaking up the sunshine while making a little music outdoors! Sometimes the best classroom comes with blue skies, fresh air, and a whole lot of fun! 🐾

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!

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?* 🎨
