ECB: Students in Stacey Stults’ and Monica Mayfield's classes identified the main idea and found key details while learning about football. “The Super Bowl was a hot topic among our students, so we thought using it would be a great way to practice using informative text and text features,” Mayfield said. The students learned about the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. They also learned about the first Super Bowl played in 1967, the Dolphins perfect season in 1972, and the history of the Vince Lombardi trophy. “It was fun to hear them talk about how excited they were to go home and quiz their families and see if they knew any of the information they learned,” Mayfield said.

Numa: Students in Vanessa Burch-Urquhart's class made their own stickers during Activity Day. They got to put them all in a love Pipsticks package when they were done. “Pipsticks is a sticker company that started in San Luis Obispo, and they’ve taken off. I subscribe to their sticker package each month.

LES: Principal Kimi Melendy and Safe School Professional Sean Lacow held a two-part initiative centered around the themes of friendship and celebrating individual uniqueness. Each student expressed their uniqueness by coloring fish templates in their personal style. For the project's second phase, they delved deeper into the essence of friendship, engaging in a reflective discussion on what it means to be a friend and how friendships can be formed and nurtured. The highlight of this session was an activity where each student selected a single word that encapsulated the essence of friendship. These words were inscribed on stones, which the students then placed alongside the fish on the wall. Kimi Melendy and Sean Lacow worked with students to create a display of fish and stones, representing LES students' perspectives on individuality and friendship.
