Our March Madness Tournament of Books is heating up! 📚🏀 Week 3 winner We Will Rock Our Classmates is moving on to the next round! We can’t wait to see which book advances next! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12 #VMESReads

Our Early Act Club is spreading the joy of reading with a VMES Book Swap! 📚 Students in grades 3–5 can bring in a gently used book and trade it for something new to enjoy. A great way to recycle books and discover a new favorite! 💙📖 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Our all-purpose room turned into a life-sized game of Hungry Hungry Hippos today! 🦛 Students zoomed around on scooters, using baskets to collect as many balls as they could—so much energy, teamwork, and fun! 💨🎯 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Mrs. Hernandez’s classroom turned into a full construction site today. Words were under construction as students built compound words with blocks, matched pictures, and tackled a construction-themed floor puzzle during ELA centers. Learning + creativity at its best! @BrickSupt

VMES is celebrating World Down Syndrome Day with Rock Your Socks Day! 🧦💙 Students and staff showed off their craziest, mismatched socks to spark conversations and celebrate what makes each of us unique. We loved seeing all the school spirit today! @BrickSupt @BtpsSrvcs

March is Women’s History Month, and Ms. LaRosa’s students have been hard at work researching influential women and showcasing their learning in this amazing wall display! 👩‍🔬📚 Inspiring work and powerful stories all around! 💜 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Mrs. Umina, our occupational therapist, had students on the move as they built body awareness and core strength using scooters throughout the hallway! 💪🛴 Learning in action and so much fun along the way! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Our Kindergarten EXCEL students put their problem-solving skills to the test by designing walls to keep their "sheep" contained! 🐑 They brainstormed ideas, made a plan, and brought their creations to life. So much creativity and teamwork in action! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Mrs. Palmieri has our alto sax players sounding great! 🎷 During their group lesson, students practiced scales, counted rhythms, and worked together on their music while building their skills and confidence. Way to go, Mustangs! 🎶 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12 #VMESMusic

Feeling extra lucky at VMES today! 🍀🎶 A bagpiper filled our hallways with music and brought St. Patrick’s Day magic to life. We love giving our students meaningful experiences that celebrate different cultures and backgrounds! 💚 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12 #communityconnected

Feeling lucky at VMES today! 🍀In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, our students are sharing what makes them feel lucky, from their families and friends to their teachers and school community. We’re lucky to have such thoughtful Mustangs! 💚 @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Looks like our students in Room 2 had quite the morning! 🍀 They set a trap overnight to catch a feisty leprechaun—but he managed to escape and leave a trail of mischief behind! ☘️✨ The fun (and chaos!) continues at VMES! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

During speech sessions, Mrs. Goldberg helps students strengthen their inferencing skills by using pictures to guide their thinking. 🗣️📸 Visual clues help students look closely, make connections, and explain what they think is happening. @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Our March Madness Tournament of Books continues at VMES! 📚 The Week 2 winner is Don’t Trust Fish! 🐟 Students across the building cast their votes and this fin-tastic book swam its way to the top! We can’t wait to see which book advances next! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12 #VMESReads

Sometimes the best learning happens right on the rug! 📚 Mr. Manso jumps right in with students during center activities, supporting their thinking, asking questions, and learning alongside them. We love seeing our teachers so engaged with their Mustangs! @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Mr. Naeder knows his students love getting up to the board to show what they know! Here, a student demonstrates which words she would change when restating a question in her answer, helping the whole class see the strategy in action. ✏️📚 #VMES @BrickSupt @Brick_K12

Mrs. Hernandez’s 1st graders brought the energy to March Math Madness! Students rotated through basketball themed centers, working on number bonds, three point addition, and solving doubles and doubles +1 equations. They were dribbling through problems and scoring big!@BrickSupt

A huge shoutout to our dynamic 4th grade team for planning and executing an incredible Wax Museum! Their creativity and teamwork brought history to life as students transformed into famous figures for families and friends. What an amazing experience for our students! @BrickSupt

Our 4th graders did a fantastic job at last night’s Wax Museum! Families and friends simply pressed a button and our students “came to life,” sharing facts about the famous figures they portrayed. What an impressive night of learning, creativity, and confidence! @BrickSupt

Ms. Monath makes sure her students have the tools they need to succeed! During math, students use a definition sheet and a step by step guide to help them solve problems with mixed numbers. These supports help build confidence and strengthen problem solving skills. @BrickSupt
