Sycamore Elementary

How do bears stay warm in the winter ?They were amazed by how a layer of blubber can help Arctic animals stay warm during wintertime. We have been learning about how to build a winter shelter and doing our daily journal! @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

Another great day at @SycamoreElem Thank you @spann for making our day! We had a blast and learned a lot. #RespectThePolygon

Bubble Gum for the beast of BOTC! These friends won the @iReady Battle of the Classes contest. Their class had the most 100% lessons last month. Who will win next? #SES4thGrade @SycamoreElem

We were working on our classroom farm. We will celebrate Thanksgiving on our beautiful farm. @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

Students and teachers worked all week on this project: we transformed our Dramatic play center into a farm. Next week, we will explore and learn all about the farm animals and celebrate our Thanksgiving by having our classroom meal on the farm. @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

Today in #SES4thGrade we focused on following our dreams and not doing drugs for #RedRibbonWeek2023 . @SycamoreElem #RootedInGreatness

In the morning, we do math talk, and we are constantly adding numbers (discussing adding and taking away numbers). Experiencing my students reflecting and sharing their thought processes is impressive! Trust me, I didn’t write this equation down! @TCBOE @SycamoreElem

Thank you so much to @SycamoreElem Leadership Team for treating faculty and staff to cookies and coffee. It was greatly appreciated! #RootedInGreatness

It’s Design Day for #SES4thGrade ! We are getting closer and closer to finishing our #FamousAlabamian #PuttPutt #PBL @SycamoreElem We are #RootedInGreatness

All about pumpkins! Learning pattern concept, sensory activity, naming our giant pumpkin Bob and spelling its name after sounding it out, and obviously…our classic pumpkin 🎃 volcano! I love my kiddos from pre-K! @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

#SES4thGrade was beyond excited to see Dr. Payant at @SycamoreElem again. This time he offered his golfing expertise to help us better prepare for our Putt-Putt PBL. "Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate." ⛳️❤️

@SycamoreElem family involvement day. Field trip with 💯 of parents participation 🌻@TCBOE

Let the research begin! #SES4thGrade is in full research mode preparing for their famous Alabamian PBL. @SycamoreElem

All About Apples 🍎 🍏 - we had apple tasting this week, apple stamp graphing, apple pie 🥧 with ice cream tasting- apple investigation - and pre-writing using sand. All engaging activities to offer learning opportunities in pre-K. @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

We have been so busy lately! Lots of developmental-appropriate activities in place. @SycamoreElem @TCBOE

When adults get excited for what’s to come when the Ss are immersed in the @arcade_1up Infinity Table! Our concept unit “Math, Myths, & Mysteries” just got a little more interactive in the @TCBOE gifted and talented education program! @TCBOE_LES @SycamoreElem

Another Fri-Yay , another #randomactsofkindness recipient. #SES4thGrade would like to congratulate @9garrett3 on being todays recipient. Thank you for all you do for our students at @SycamoreElem

It was another great day for learning in #SES4thGrade . Today, we learned about Louis Braille’s gift to the blind. Did you know he was only 11 years old when he started to develop his system of reading and writing for the blind? How cool is that?! @SycamoreElem

If you ever hear that pre-K students are too young to be in school, just remember how much they are being exposed and all the learning opportunities that support the development of cognitive areas that will be used later in life. @SycamoreElem @TCBOE
