Elmhurst celebrated Arbor Day with @fieldd205 students by planting an Autumn Blaze Maple and recognizing our 46th year as a Tree City U.S.A., as designated by the National @ArborDayFoundation !
Thank you to our Public Works Forestry team, school staff, and students for helping make this tradition so meaningful. Trees enhance our neighborhoods, improve air quality, and support a healthier community for everyone.
✨Classroom Spotlight✨ This week we visited Mrs. Rider’s Reach classes!
This week, students in each class worked hard to create projects for the Spring Celebration of Learning.
In ELA, 3rd graders used the SCAMPER method to turn an everyday object into a brand new invention, 4th graders created their own unique Sonnets, and 5th graders designed Literary Food Trucks based on a novel of their choice.
In math, 3rd graders designed a New Zoo using formulas for Area and Perimeter, 4th graders created an Aquatic Center using formulas for Volume, and 5th graders crafted a Stained Glass Window using formulas for the Circumference and Area of a Circle.
Students are excited to share their works and talents at the Spring Celebration of Learning on Thursday, May 7th.
✨ Classroom Spotlight! ✨ This week we took a peak into Mr. Kolbs gym class! This week in PE it was teambuilding week for K-2. Students worked with the parachute and the spiderweb. Students completed a series of activities working on teamwork, communication, and listening skills!
✨Classroom Spotlight!✨ The week before break Mrs. Rysko shared some of the exciting things happening in 5th grade!
Students used their math skills to “Escape to Spring Break” as they completed puzzles, riddles, and locks in this fun spring-themed escape room. In Social Studies, the students began their study of the American Revolution by making predictions, observations, and inferences about the word revolution, as well as, revolutionary people and ideas.
Finally, they enjoyed attending the exciting final battle for The Battle of the Books. Congratulations to all the participating teams!
Classroom Spotlight! ✨ Swipe through to see all the fun things happening in Mrs. Keefe’s 2nd grade classroom!
It was a busy week in 2nd grade! In math, they finished up their module on the Foundations of Multiplication and Division. Students worked in groups to explain how they knew if a number was odd or even. To kick off Module 7 on Length, Money, & Data, they read the book The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors - an instant favorite! The kids then battled someone in 10 rounds of Rock, Paper, Scissors and graphed the results. In Social Studies, students are working on a project where the kids are creating a detailed drawing of a house in a particular environment around the world (i.e. island, rural area, city, desert, etc) They are also working on a writing piece to go with their house. They will be putting all of their pages together to create a class book. Keep up the great work, 2nd graders!
Classroom Spotlight! ✨ Check out all of the fun things that happened in Mrs. Gallagher’s 2nd grade classroom last week!
Last week Mrs. Gallagher’s class started a new Math Module learning the foundations of Multiplication and Division. They did some fun activities making arrays and learning about rows and columns.
They also participated in so many fun Kindness week activities. Check out the kindness rocks that the students decorated and will place around their neighborhood to spread kindness to others!
Classroom Spotlight! ✨ Fun things were happening in Mrs. Liewergen’s fourth grade class!
Loom knitting isn’t just a craft—it’s a whole-child win for fourth graders 🧶
• Social: Builds collaboration, patience, and peer support
• Emotional: Calms minds, boosts confidence, and teaches perseverance
• Physical: Strengthens fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination
• Cognitive: Improves focus, sequencing, and problem-solving
Plus, students feel proud creating something real with their hands. Calm, creative, and confidence-building—yes please. 💛
Classroom Spotlight!✨ Check out some highlights from Mrs. Firak’s third grade class!
This week the third graders used their math manipulatives to find the area of different rectangles. They even worked through some tricky word problems together! In Reading, they spent some time peer editing their opinion introductions. Their week also included
LOTS of indoor recess, which of course led to some creative building and collaboration! Great work third grade!
✨Classroom Spotlight!✨ This week we are taking a look at Miss Kawa’s first grade class!
The first graders sure were busy this week! In Science students learned about different types of bird beaks and pretended to be birds as they gathered food. They also learned about camouflage by making moths and hiding them around the classroom. In Math they used dimes and pennies to learn about place value and tens and ones. During Reading students explored a new book and learned how animals use the same body parts in different ways. Finally, they enjoyed some indoor recess time. What a great week!
