Parents- Are you in need of a night out?!
A magical journey has begun in Mrs. Halverson's second grade classroom, and we invite you to be a part of this incredible experience with us. Our eggs have started hatching, and tiny chicks are making their grand entrance into the world, right before our eyes!
📹 Live Webcam Watch: They've set up a webcam so you won’t miss a moment of this adorable adventure. Watch these fluffy chicks as they peck their way through to say hello! Check out the live stream here: https://meet.google.com/tft-verr-juy
This is a fantastic educational moment for our students, and we’re thrilled to share it with you. It's not just about watching chicks hatch; it’s a journey into learning about life cycles, responsibility, and the wonder of nature.
Ms. Hambly's 1st graders embarked on a thrilling Easter egg hunt, but with a delightful twist—instead of searching for candy, they were on the lookout for spelling words during their reading time! Each found egg revealed a new word, combining the joy of the hunt with the excitement of learning.
But the fun didn't stop there! For math, our young mathematicians turned into scientists and engineers as they graphed jelly beans by color and then used these sweet tools to create impressive 3D structures. It was a deliciously hands-on way to explore numbers, shapes, and even a bit of engineering!
Through these creative activities, Ms. Hambly's class not only celebrated the festive spirit of Easter but also reinforced key skills in reading and math in the most memorable way.
Today, Mora Elementary had the incredible opportunity to welcome The NED Show to our school, and what an inspiring experience it was! NED, the lovable cartoon character whose name stands for Never Give Up, Encourage Others, and Do Your Best, brought a message of positivity, resilience, and kindness that resonated with each and every one of our students.
Through engaging stories, illusions, and yo-yo tricks, The NED Show not only entertained but also imparted valuable lessons that our students will carry with them. It's essential for our young learners to understand the power of perseverance, the importance of supporting each other, and the impact of always doing their best.
We're grateful to The NED Show for sharing such an important message with our students in such a memorable way. Here's to never giving up, encouraging others, and doing our best, not just in school, but in every aspect of our lives!
Mora Elementary's 2nd and 4th grade classes had a day filled with magic and music, as they got a special "sneak peek" of our spring musical, "The Little Mermaid"! It was a heartwarming sight to see the children's faces light up with excitement as they were transported under the sea to Ariel's world.
Not only did they get to witness the incredible talent of our cast, but they also had a "whale" of a time singing along to all the beloved songs. From "Under the Sea" to "Part of Your World," the melodies echoed through the halls, bringing smiles and laughter to everyone involved.
Let’s give a round of applause for our young audience and the performers who made this experience an unforgettable adventure!

Today, we stand together in solidarity, understanding, and joy for Down Syndrome Awareness Day. In Mrs. Rens' class, this day holds a special significance as we have the privilege of learning and growing alongside a student who has a sibling with Down Syndrome. To honor this day and bring awareness to the beauty of diversity, we've embraced the theme: "Rock Your Socks!"
Our students have stepped into school today wearing the silliest, most colorful, mismatched socks you can imagine, turning our hallways into a parade of joy and acceptance. But that's not all! With crayons in hand, our kids have also been coloring vibrant pictures of mismatched socks, filling our classroom with laughter and creativity.
These activities are more than just fun; they're a reminder of the uniqueness each person brings into this world. By rocking our mismatched socks, we celebrate the differences that make us all special. Let's continue to embrace and learn from each other, not just today but every day!
Our awesome Mora Elementary staff is finalizing the science of reading training this evening in the media center. This is part of the states READ Act. Thank you to all of the teachers for their commitment to life long learning!

Today's Phy Ed class was nothing short of spectacular, as some of our fantastic students at Mora Elementary took their energy to new heights with a classic, colorful parachute! There's something magical about the simple joy that comes from working together to make waves, create a mushroom, and play games under a rainbow canopy.
Mrs. Mantel's class took full advantage of the glorious weather by spending extra time outdoors, and what a fantastic time they had! With the sun shining brightly and a gentle breeze in the air, it was the perfect backdrop for learning, playing, and exploring the wonders of nature.
