Morenci Elementary School

Our 5th-grade space study took learning out of this world! 🚀 Students explored the contributions of Mae Jemison, Katherine Johnson, and Eleanor Foraker, and then put their knowledge to work by designing and creating their own space suits! 🌌🧑‍🚀

Our week was filled with creativity and hands-on learning! Students learned how to create their own printing plates, use printing ink and a brayer, and pull their own prints. It was messy, fun, and a great way to explore the full process of printmaking. 🎨🖐️

This experience was made possible through a Morenci Education Foundation Mini-Grant, applied for by our Elementary STEAM instructor, Mrs. Siefert. We are grateful for the support that helps bring learning to life!

🎈 Balloons Over Broadway Project 🎈Our 3rd graders had a wonderful time studying Balloons Over Broadway! After reading the story, they put their creativity to work by designing and building their very own parade balloons.

They wrapped up the project with a school-wide parade, proudly showing off their imaginative creations. They worked hard, collaborated beautifully, and brought so much joy to our hallways! 🐾✨

Our Jasper Johns art project is officially complete! Students studied the Army veteran and artist’s iconic American flag collage, learning how he layered newspaper, hot beeswax, and oil paint to create his famous work. Using his techniques as inspiration, our young artists created their own newspaper American flags from start to finish, and they look incredible! 🎨✨❤️🤍💙

Beaks, food, and lots of curiosity! 🐥Our 1st graders learned how animal traits help them survive by trying out different “beaks” to see which ones could pick up which foods. Science is so much fun! ❤️🧪

🧲 Mrs. BV’s students are busy building, designing, and discovering with new magnet manipulatives funded by the Morenci Education Foundation grant!
The grant’s purpose is to support number and letter building skills, giving students hands-on tools that enrich learning and promote fine motor growth. ✨ Thank you, Morenci Education Foundation, for helping our students learn by doing!

DK was all smiles during the clothespin game for Letter C! This fun activity helps strengthen fine motor skills while encouraging teamwork and focus. 🐾

The fifth graders took on The Empire State Building Challenge! 🏗️ During STEAM class, students engineered and built their own mini versions of the iconic skyscraperlearning about its history, the “Sky Boys,” and how teamwork and resilience shaped this symbol of hope. 🌆💪

Our 2nd graders are learning to think like coders! 💻🎃 This week, students practiced computational thinking skills through a fun and festive Trick-or-Treat coding game. Working in pairs, they used logic, sequencing, and teamwork to solve challenges — proving that learning can be both engaging and spooktacular! 👻 #MorenciBulldogs #BulldogPride #STEMLearning

Our students explored radial yarn art designs while learning how to use tapestry needles! 🧵 This group worked incredibly hard and showed amazing resilience throughout the process. 👏

Today’s science lesson was delicious! 🌍 Students built edible models of Earth’s layers after converting each layer’s thickness (1,000 km = 1 cm) and marking their cups to show the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core.
