"What if the most important lesson in PE this year isn't about throwing, catching, or running?
Last week, our students began the year with a lesson called "Be the Bee."
It comes from an old story: ask a fly what it's seen, and it will describe every pile of trash in the yard. Ask a bee, and it will describe every flower. Same yard, but each one is wired and trained to notice something different. Students learned that people are the same way. Some are quick to spot what's wrong with others. Some are quick to spot what's good.
Through our activity, students practiced being the bee with each other: noticing effort, encouraging a struggling teammate, and calling out good plays instead of mistakes. It's not about ignoring challenges or mistakes. It's about choosing, on purpose, what you look for in the people around you.
Each class received a small bee to put up in their class as a reminder to be the bee. When you have a chance, ask your student about the story of the bee and the fly!

Mrs. Shoemaker's students listened and watched a read aloud of the book The Dot, then each student turned the dot on their paper into a picture!
Ms. Blair’s 3rd Grade class uses the Zones of Regulation for their daily Social-Emotional check In. What an awesome way to check on every student!
Mr. Taylor's HS students are getting out and doing real science!
Ecology: Students explored the area around EWA to identify abiotic and biotic factors and connect their observations to the characteristics of life.
Earth & Environmental Science: Students completed a scale-model lab in which they calculated and modeled the relative sizes of the planets and the distances between them to better understand the scale of our Solar System.

Ms. Blair’s third grade class read a book called The Crumpled Hearts to help promote kindness. They learned that even though we can apologize after using hurtful words, people’s feelings & hearts don’t completely mend. This helps students learn the theme: think before they speak!
✨ There's Magic in the Word "YET!" ✨
This week, Mrs. Pace's First Grade class discovered the power of having a growth mindset through The Magical Yet by Angela DiTerlizzi. 📚💙
After reading the story, our first graders reflected on something they can't do...YET! Together, we created a predictable sentence chart where each student shared a personal goal and celebrated that learning takes time, practice, and perseverance.
Today, our young authors reconstructed their own sentences and illustrated them with colorful, creative pictures. 🎨✏️
Soon, we'll compile all of their pages into a special classroom book for our library—a wonderful reminder that every challenge is an opportunity to grow.
We may not be able to do everything today... but with hard work, determination, and a little magic, we can always add the word "YET!" 💫
