Students in 1st grade have been learning about fables and folktales! Such stories help increase their vocabulary and teach some valuable lessons, too. To reflect on all of their learning, these Nike Scouts got to create a puppet of their favorite character AND they got to participate in their very own Fable Olympics! So fun!!
Birthday Shout-Out!! 🥳
We are excited to celebrate with these September birthdays during their lunch breaks!
Today is the last day to sell items from the Mrs. Fields catalog fundraiser. Please have your student return the paper order form and all payments to school tomorrow, September 24th.
Thank you to our Scouts and their families & friends for supporting our school. We appreciate you all so much!! 💜
See you at school tomorrow, Scouts!
Nike kindergarteners have been learning about nursery rhymes and fables. Students learned songs, sequenced story events, and identified the characters found in these short rhymes and tales. To celebrate their learning, students participated in the Nursery Rhyme Olympics. They raced like Tortoise and Hare, helped Bo Peep find her lost sheep, jumped like Jack over candlesticks, put Humpty Dumpty back together, and more. How fun!!
Nike Scouts in 3rd grade have been learning about Missouri geography and recently created their own maps! Mrs. Guenzler and Mrs. Branstetter helped their students make and form salt dough maps, which were colored to show different aspects of Missouri. Three major cities were marked, 2 larger rivers were drawn, and regions were shaded in to give an adequate representation of our state. Way to go, 3rd Grade!!
Nike staff and students have started something new this year- Class Families!
Today, our Scouts joined up with other students from various grades to spend some time together and make connections with one another. During this time, teachers led an introduction meeting and read the book, Our School is a Family. Students participated in a group activity and gathered for a Class Family photo, which will be framed with a background of their signatures. We are so excited to continue our Class Families events throughout the school year! Having these opportunities will promote a sense of welcome amongst all of our students and staff, allow for leadership roles & guidance from older students, will help us grow together, and will only confirm that each one of us is an important piece to the Nike puzzle! 🏫🧩🏫🧩🏫
Friendly Reminder!! There is NO SCHOOL for Students tomorrow- Friday, September 20th.
Staff will be participating in trainings & meetings during their Professional Development Day.
Thank You!!
Fairy Tales & Tall Tales 👑🏰
2nd graders in Mrs. Burt's and Mrs. Gann's classes have been learning about these kinds of stories. Students discussed the different elements of a story, characteristics found in these types of stories, and even did a little comparing and contrasting of the two. Today was quite the celebration for them, as they got to dress up fancy and write their very own stories! We were ROYALLY proud of their work today!!
Tomorrow is the THIRD prize day. Send in your child's signed coupons based on how many items they have sold. The more items your child sells, the more prizes they will earn. This fundraiser will support the end of trimester celebrations as well as other events and items needed throughout the year. The fundraiser ends Sept. 24th.
A big THANK YOU to MVR-3's Digital Warriors! We appreciate all of the behind-the-scenes work that you do to ensure that teaching & learning is possible in every classroom in our school district. 🖥️💜
Patriot Day was quite the success at Nike Elementary last Friday, September 13th! Fourth grade students led a school-wide ceremony where the Pledge of Allegiance and the Scout Pledge was recited by all in attendance. During the morning assembly, students listened to members of the Pacific Fire District, the Meramec Ambulance District, and the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. The first responders shared some of their special equipment and some interesting things about their careers. Some students were even given the opportunity to try on some of the gear!
Ready for another week of growing together! Please be reminded of the NO SCHOOL for Students day this Friday. Staff will be doing some learning of their own during Professional Development. 🏫🧑🏽🏫
For years now, 4th grade students at Nike Elementary have left their mark on the school as a part of their service-learning project. Last year was no different! Students in Mrs. Thompson’s class dedicated their time and imagination to create a wonderful piece of wall art. This year, Nike Scouts are able to use the Be The "I" In Kind backdrop to show that they are caring and respectful individuals, in and out of school. Showing respect to ourselves, others, and even our school building is one of Nike's Core Values and a major component to the character education that is taught. We are so proud of all our Nike students, past and present! #MVNation
