💙⚾ Grandparents Night In at SES! ⚾💙
What a special night at Southside Elementary School! We want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of the grandparents and students who joined us for our Grandparents Night In! 🥰
We loved having the opportunity to showcase our Fine Arts Program and celebrate the incredible things our students experience in Music and Art each week at SES. 🎨🎶 And, thanks to our Millage Funds at work, our students continue to have opportunities to learn, create, perform, and grow through the arts!
The evening was filled with smiles, creativity, and quality time together. Grandparents and students enjoyed:
🎨 Creating beautiful works of art
🎶 Singing along to familiar songs
🧩 Playing board games and puzzles
🍕 Enjoying pizza, popcorn, and cupcakes
💙 Most importantly, making special memories together!
We are so grateful for the support of our SES families and grandparents and for the opportunity to share a glimpse of the amazing work happening in our Fine Arts classrooms!

📚 Every Day Counts—Even in Pre-K–2nd Grade! ⚾💙
At Southside Elementary, we know that Every Student Matters, Every Moment Counts! That’s why attendance matters from the very first day of school—even for our youngest Little Pirates. 🏴☠️
In Pre-K through 2nd grade, students are building the foundational skills they will use for years to come. Every school day brings opportunities to:
📖 Build early reading and math skills
🧠 Practice problem-solving and critical thinking
🤝 Develop friendships and social skills
✏️ Learn routines, responsibility, and independence
🌱 Grow confidence as a learner
Missing a day here and there can add up quickly, and it can be challenging for young learners to make up missed instruction and classroom experiences.
https://canva.link/j076ows9zhwlrtx
Our goal is simple: get our Little Pirates to school, ready to learn, and making progress every day! 💙
Thank you, families, for partnering with us to make attendance a priority. Together, we’re helping our students Hit It Out of the Park! ⚾🌟

⚾📚 WIN Time: What I Need! 📚⚾
Our 2nd graders have hit the ground running! During WIN Time, students rotate to different classrooms and learn from different “coaches,” giving them the opportunity to receive targeted instruction based on their individual data and exactly what they need to grow. 🎯
Every group has a purpose. Every minute matters. Every student is getting the instruction they need to move forward.
We’re not waiting to get started—we’re intentionally teaching and learning from Week 2! There’s no moment to lose when it comes to student growth. 💙🏴☠️

🏗️📚 Building Stories, One Block at a Time!
Ms. C’s second graders are learning that stories have structure—just like a house! 🏠
Using The Warm Flea, students are building the plot with blocks, with each block representing an important story element. As they add each piece, they’re seeing how authors build a complete story by putting their ideas together in a meaningful way.
What a fun, hands-on way to make plot structure visible, memorable, and engaging! 💙📖

Today, Dr. Weber took the mound! 🧢 While teachers headed to the “bullpen” during their recess time, Dr. Weber stepped in to cover recess and spend some quality time playing with our Little Pirates. 🏴☠️

🍍🍑 Building Our Classroom Family! 🍌
Ms. Aarons’ first grade class had a fun and meaningful lesson on school-wide rules and expectations! After reading Our Class Is a Family, students discussed the qualities they want to see in their classroom family—kindness, respect, sharing, responsibility, and caring for our classroom.
Students then participated in a fruit salad object lesson. Each fruit represented a positive classroom characteristic, while two rotten bananas represented the behaviors we don’t want in our classroom. 🍌😂
The lesson ended with students enjoying their delicious fruit salad while celebrating the positive classroom community they are working together to create! 💙🏴☠️
