Congratulations to these Kindergarten Gators who have already earned their locomotor license this week in PE class! These students have already mastered all eight locomotor skills with proper form: run, walk, hop, jump, skip, gallop, leap, and side slide
Ms.Overby's class has been working hard on learning numbers and counting. In small groups, we have been working on numbers using our math stacker blocks. These are special form blocks where the height of a block corresponds to its numerical value, allowing students to see and understand number size and relationships physically. The kids love playing and learning with the blocks.
🌟 Happy National Teacher Assistant Day! 🌟

Today, the Surry County Sheriff’s Office visited Rockford Elementary’s third grade to help us learn more about community helpers. Students got to meet deputies and learn about the important jobs they do to keep our community safe. The officers brought the SWAT truck and drones for us to see up close, and everyone enjoyed asking questions and exploring the special equipment. It was an exciting way to learn how the Sheriff’s Office works to protect and serve our community!
Our science club is off to a bubbling start! We learned about chemical and physical changes while making elephant's toothpaste! We can’t wait to explore more topics this year.
Mrs. Hendrix's kindergartners have been learning about scarecrows this week. They enjoyed becoming a scarecrow by making a mask.

Our fifth graders were up to the challenge of building a bone bridge that would hold 200 grams and span 15-20 centimeters! This visual shows that straws, acting like bones, and marshmallows, acting like joints, are long and give structure just like the skeletal system.
