@CapstonePub Perfect- we can invite you to our presentations at the end of May as a thank you! We ❤️ the rainforest and Pebble Go!

@Erical1813 We’ll pass these amazing recommendations over to our content team to see what they can do!! Some may be in development already! 🐸✨ Keep the firsties’ suggestions coming!

Best parts of our community- older role models showing care for the younger. Varsity football players showed up to support the 7/8 team on their first game. @USMathletics @USMMiddleSchool

@USMLowerschool @pptak11 @katie_e_lee @KellyStrains I think this project might have to go to 2-22-22…making a project on Global Play Day might cause first grade picketing!

@andreabeaty @USMLowerschool Thank you, Ms. Beaty! We can’t wait for Aaron Slater, Illustrator to come out. We have it on pre-order and I love that you chose a student with a reading struggle!

@Erical1813 @USMLowerschool Well done, you kind, brave, brilliant future leaders!

@brita31 @USMLowerschool I love that you are teaching them to be efficient and safe digital researchers!

@jkeily @USMLowerschool @usmsocial I love this!! You all are too fun.

Happy first day of school! Hope it went well. Here’s how these USM retiree’s enjoyed our first day of the 21-22 school year @USMLowerschool @usmsocial

@Leann_zd I love this game!!

Love the energy and the laughs!

@CloNewton1 @USMLowerschool Trees really are the best spots for reading! 😁

@Erical1813 @USMLowerschool Reading in the trees! Funny that is where their teacher was most often found as a young reader.

@hhreimerz @LifeAtUSM We couldn’t have asked for better buddies!! My class is still talking about them, over a week later. This is one of my favorite parts of USM.

These 7th graders loved helping 1st graders with their rainforest animal research! @LifeAtUSM, @Erical1813

@jenkep @LifeAtUSM @USMLowerschool @gbongiorno My favorite season in PK is puddle season!!

April showers bring... with this much fun, May flowers can wait. @LifeAtUSM @USMLowerschool @gbongiorno #pkrocks #usmpreschool

One super happy group of vaccinated teachers! @USMLowerschool

I've seen this image before with the first two scenarios. But adding the third is quite powerful. The words underneath are so true.#usmfac @GCLIteacher

#HappyInternationalWomensDay ! At home, I raise boys with joy but, at school, I get the privilege of learning and growing with these mighty girls. The future is bright and amazing. @USMLowerschool

We are tie-dying shirts to wear to our African Market next week! I am thankful for a sweet big brother who came to help us! @LifeAtUSM @USMLowerschool

So thankful for a step forward! Thanks @LifeAtUSM for making it easy!

It doesn’t take much to make kids feel special. Look them in the eye. Smile at them. Talk to them individually. Be curious about THEM. Be sincere.

Party!!

Happy 101st Day of school. Celebrating 100th day is soooo kindergarten. 😉 @USMLowerschool

One bulletin board cannot contain our immersive learning on Ghana and West Africa. We are spending this week studying Anansi, the trickster spider pervasive in Ghanaian folktales. Last week, we learned about housing and calabash bowls. What will next week bring? @USMLowerschool

Sibling love plus learning about the Chinese New Year from our fifth grade friends! Impressive work, fifth graders! @USMLowerschool @LifeAtUSM
