Crosby Elementary

Kindergarten students worked on letter recognition activities, word building, and writing practice. They also practiced the sign language for each letter and participated in collaborative work and hands-on tasks to strengthen their reading and language skills. It was a day full of meaningful learning.

Last week, some of our students enjoyed a special breakfast with our local police officers! 🍩👮‍♂️💙

This experience was earned through the PTO Chocolate Fundraiser, and those who attended loved every minute of it. A big thank-you to our PTO for organizing such fun incentives and to our officers for spending time building positive connections with our students!

Great job to all of our super sellers! 🌟

Ms. Kalivoda's and Mrs. Fusillo's students have been working collaboratively to strengthen their reading and writing skills. They have also been working together to think critically and complete hands-on science activities related to their current unit of study.

In Play Based Learning, Rose students are learning all about community helpers! Mrs. Rudolf drove the bus and took students in the Rose room all around the community. Students got to be bus drivers, police officers, bakery workers, construction workers, and even mail workers.

Students in Mrs. Nulle's class loved learning about the giant balloons in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade. Then, they created their own balloons and paraded around the school.

We’re continuing to build our skills in solving addition problems — this time by learning about equations, working as a team, and having fun along the way!

Kindergarten math students worked on an activity last week about addition, with numbers up to 5 through a hot potato game, all kindergarten students working together to learn!

❄️ Winter Weather Reminder! ❄️
Please send your child with jacket, snow pants, boots, hat, and gloves/mittens each day. We will go outside unless temperatures are extremely low, and students must have all items to play in the snow.
