Douglass Elementary

Our Read With Me/PTO Trunk or Treat was a huge success! A big THANK YOU to our amazing PTO for organizing the Trunk or Treat!! Also a huge THANK YOU to all of the families and staff who donated candy or decorated a trunk. Finally, THANK YOU to those who came out to join the fun Friday night - your creativity, costumes, and community spirit made it such a special evening!

Our 3rd graders had a blast on their field trip to Zootastic back on October 3rd!

Yesterday students in first grade spent time during skilled literacy groups working with words that have digraphs, learning new vocabulary words, and reading decodable books with a partner 📖

Our students and teachers are hard at work!

On Wednesday, our third graders dove into math skills using the i-Ready curriculum.

Meanwhile, our kindergarteners practiced subitizing and learned how to Think-Pair-Share with their classmates — building both math and communication skills!🤩

The 5th graders on our school's Battle of the Books team began reading "Sal and Gabi Break the Universe" by Carlos Hernandez this past Wednesday.

Our 5th graders had an awesome learning experience today with Jennifer Tucker who lead a Heath Science career readiness program. They got to practice taking each others temperatures, blood pressure, and practice color mixing without cross contaminating their given supplies.

At the beginning of October Mr. Pace came to our school and spoke to 3rd grade about what it takes to be an entrepreneur!

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who supported this year’s Fall Book Fair! Your participation helps us create a learner-centered library filled with books our students love. All proceeds go directly toward enriching our library space and growing our collection with titles that inspire and engage young readers. We couldn’t do it without you! #togetherweSOAR

1st grade has been learning about community helpers during our shared reading time for the past few weeks. Today we had a librarian from the Eden Public Library come for a visit. She talked about her job, read a couple of stories to our fab firsties, and brought them some fun goodies! Be sure to check out after-school story time at the public library!
