Students learned about the predictions that the Groundhog makes as well as how shadows occur in science. #SMStheplacetoBEE #Kindergarten #Shadows #GroundhogDay #morewinter

🚂 Grades K, 1 & 2 had SNOW much fun the last week of school! With Christmas themed games, art work, snacks, crafts & more, these students made the most of it! They even ended the day with a "Polar Express" movie party together. Click here for more photos of their fun: https://tinyurl.com/yc63bbs5
This past week grades K-2 had a lot of fun & a break away from their routine lessons when they went on a "splendiferous" field trip! Our students laughed it up and enjoyed learning about what goes on behind the scenes at the Theatre of Youth. Fancy Nancy was a cute performance for the holiday season!
🍂🍁 Kindergarten investigated pumpkins last week & had some Fall fun! They used their 5 senses to dive deep into what a pumpkin sounds, looks, smells, & feels like. (They left the tasting for another day!) Students also measured pumpkin height using math manipulatives & graphed their favorite pumpkin face. After they got their hands all gooey, they got outside to enjoy the Fall weather with an oozing pumpkin experiment & a bit of playing in the Fall leaves.
Our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students were treated to quite the adventure this week - a trip to Akron Acres! Students had the chance to go on a wagon ride, pick a pumpkin from the patch, ride a pony, & learn about all sorts of farm animals! Click the link to see more photos: https://tinyurl.com/2dnnew97
It's not too early to start thinking about Pre-K or Kindergarten for next year! Did you know that parents generally start looking for preschools & kindergartens around 6 to 12 months before enrollment? Starting the search process early is beneficial to allow ample time for research, visiting schools, applying & potentially getting on wait lists, especially in high-demand areas.

🐝 It's Thursday, and that means it's time for another "Bedtime Story for Bees"! Miss Gon, our Kindergarten teacher, is reading this week with, "Mama Kisses, Papa Hugs", written by Lisa Tawn Bergren and illustrated by Aleksander Zolotic. Click the link below to see the video: https://tinyurl.com/ya7jmf87
Our teachers & staff got together on the last day of school to read some of their favorite bedtime stories aloud, so that your little "bees" at home can enjoy them all summer long! Each week we'll be featuring a new bedtime story, so plan to join us on Thursday evenings as you let your little SMS bees wind down for bed with a bedtime story and goodnight prayer.

Kindergarten was GLOWING CRAZY today for their Glow in the Dark Neon Party! Thank you to the Moleski family for bidding on & winning this experience for their daughter and the class in our 2025 Spring for Success Silent Auction.
Students were invited to wear their best neon outfits to school and enjoy a morning of painting under black lights to watch those neon colors glow! Each student created their own painting to bring home as a great Kindergarten memory, and a glow stick dance party and special treat made the morning extra bright!
