Kindergarten through 3rd Grade got to enjoy a fun and interactive anti-bullying show by Mr. Puppet, courtesy of our fall fundraising company Club's Choice. Students really enjoyed the show!
Here are some Veteran's Day pictures from Sullivan Elementary, including a picture of retired Sullivan teachers and WWII veterans John Ruscin and Norm Buckner. Photos are courtesy of Mrs. Drollinger and her 1st grade class.
Fourth graders from Mrs. Hendry's class shared their recess with kindergarten and first graders to celebrate Giving Tuesday. Students came up with the idea to spread kindness throughout the day, but would like to put together a donation project for children in need.
Congratulations to Khyli Kelly and Cora Emel for being named last week's respect board winners. They led the Sullivan Lady Redskins out at Monday night's home game.
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving from all the “turkeys” at SES! Each feather has a student's name and what they are thankful for.
Congratulations to Mary Crist and Olivia Tippet for being the Respect board winners last week. They led the Lady Redskins out onto the floor Tuesday night.
SES is getting ready for family reading night ! We know the book is always better than the movie, so come find out for yourself ! The fun starts at 6:00 pm.
Mrs. Becker’s RTI group has been learning about 3D shapes. Today, we used marshmallows and toothpicks to make our own 3D shapes.
Make sure you come out for Family Reading Night Thursday evening from 6-7 at the Elementary School. Our teachers have been working hard to put together a lot of fun activities to prove that the book is better than the movie!
We love twinning at SES!
Thank you veterans! From the staff and students of Sullivan Elementary School
At Sullivan Elementary School, staff recognize students who go above and beyond expectations by giving them a "Gold Slip." Gold Slip winners from the month of October are pictured. From left to right they are:
Addison Hullum stayed after lunch to clean up someone else's ketchup spill to keep the cafeteria safe and clean.
Elijah Dalbey noticed that a few students were sitting on the side at recess not playing. He kindly invited each student to play ball tag with him and his other friends.
Donovan Collins and Brady Beck volunteered to write an extra Veteran's Day invitation, willingly giving up their recess to do so.
Issac Reider volunteered to give his jacket to a classmate that was very cold in their classroom.
Such caring and responsible acts are what make SES a great place to be!
5th grade is live in action at Ag Safety Day at the Otto Center in Arthur! They had to test their reaction speed and now they are performing every day tasks with a disability simulation (loss of a finger, arm, leg, etc.) They are understanding the importance of being safe in their environment!
Mrs. VanDeursen's kindergarten class won the PTO's Box Top competition and got to decorate these pumpkins from Buxton's Garden Farm using paint from ACE Hardware!
First grade RTI groups have been learning all about shapes so, in the spirit of Halloween, Mrs. Drollinger and Mrs. Becker’s RTI groups listened to the story “ Go Away Big Green Monster.” After the story, they made their own big green monsters out of shapes!
Tomorrow evening, from 6 to 7, is the PTO Monster Mash sock hop in the ES gym. Bring your elementary students out and watch all the boils and ghouls dance the night away. Parents must remain present with there children throughout the dance.
First grade had been working hard on learning our short vowel sounds. The students had a great time playing Race to the Pond while reading short vowel words.
First grade has been learning all about insects. The students learned how to eat and see like an insect, made their own insect, and recreated the insect life cycle with pasta thanks to Erica Lehman, Verna Tice, and Sue Yarnell. Then, with the help of Jim Palmer and Dave VanDeursen, the students were able to explore and look at insects in their natural habitat. They were excited to catch and observe the different insects we found !
This week during Library class, students in 2nd grade learn how to find a “Just Right Book.” Mrs. Fleming read Goldisocks and the Three Libearians. The book portrays the bears as "libearians" and Goldie Socks finds just the right book and the perfect place to read it. Students then practiced the 5 finger rule to find a just right book.
The Sullivan PTO is looking for a few people to help with fundraiser distribution tomorrow (Wednesday, October 11) at the elementary school (you do not need to be a member of the PTO. Times we need your help are 12:30-3 and 3-5:30. If you can help during those times, or if you’re available part of the time please send the Sullivan Elementary School PTO a message on Facebook.
