It is an important responsibility to help students cross the street safely. Thank you Safety Patrol and…

Students have daily opportunities to share and discuss their thinking. Precise language is essential to building student understanding of fractions. The 4th graders…

This quarter, Grant elementary students are learning how to have a growth mindset at our morning meetings. Each week, we learn a mindset mantra, starting with, "I can't do this... YET!" We have learned that if something is difficult, we shouldn't just give up and say, "I can't do this!" Instead, we should recognize that learning is a process, so we can add "YET" to the end of that sentence, and…

December has been a month filled with opportunities to show what we have learned. With procedures in place, we are able to break out new ways to review and stretch our brains. This prepares us for this month’s season of semester testing. Grant students encouraged one another to do their best by creating special notes of encouragement for each other. Kindergarten students attached their notes to…

We would like to give them a huge shout out for blessing our school through volunteering, gifting literature, and preparing dinner and treats for families and teachers during conferences.

One of the most important foundations of a student’s musicianship is learning to maintain and follow a steady beat.  It is so important for playing and singing together in a group!  In elementary music, especially the primary grades, we practice this A LOT. To keep students engaged and make it fun I use a variety of songs, games, props and instruments.  Here you see first graders playing a favorite…
