Concord School District

The Senior Seminar class has been led by nurse Tracy Starks in a journey to learn more about themselves and building relationships with those around them. October was full of learning and a little dress up fun too! 💜💛

This month third grade students learned about electricity and coding electronics! They designed pathways for the mouse bots and learned to enter codes to program each bot to find the cheese at the end of the path.

🍂Mrs. Sartain and Ms. Murray’s Kindergarten classes went on a texture hunt! We used our sense of touch to explore textures and patterns in nature. After collecting leaves, nuts, and bark, we created beautiful texture rubbings using crayons and paper. We also left a little food out for our groundhog friend! What a fun day of learning and exploring!🍁

On Friday, Mrs. Hallmark’s 1st grade class learned how to “Leave No Trace” during their nature walk! #SchoolOfConservationLeadership #BeAPirate #AGFC

LEAVE NO TRACE! Today Mrs. Cornelison and Mrs. Hoselton’s first grade class learned about being responsible citizens in the community by sorting through litter and natural items found on their nature walk!

Reminder that elementary school picture day is Tuesday, November 10! All grade retakes will be Tuesday, December 8 in the elementary library.

Congratulations to our elementary October Students of the Month!💜💛
