Ms. Duncan’s kindergarten Gators have been learning all about nouns this week! To make their learning fun, they went on a noun hunt around the classroom—finding people, places, and things everywhere they looked. Our Gators are turning into super smart noun detectives!
Congratulations to our first attendance challenge winners. We had ties in several grade levels. Keep it up, Gators!
Our students and staff showed off their school spirit for National College Colors Day by wearing gear from their favorite colleges and universities! From near to far, big schools to small—what a fun way to celebrate future dreams and higher education pride. 🐊
Our Gators didn’t take a break from reading this summer—they crushed their AR goals! To celebrate, they enjoyed a sweet ice cream sundae party. Way to go, readers! We’re so proud of you!

Ms. Maggie’s Kindergarteners have been busy exploring RHYMING words with their partners! From “cat” and “hat” to “sun” and “fun,” our little learners are giggling, learning, and growing together. Partner work makes learning even more engaging—and these kinders are proving that teamwork + wordplay = success!
Progress Reports Went Home Today!
Be sure to check your child’s backpack for their progress report, MAAP Score Reports for grades 4 and 5, and KRA report for Kindergarten. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate growth, set goals, and stay connected on their learning journey!
