TWOSDAY 2/22/22 was a blast in kindergarten!
TWOSDAY (2/22/22) was filled with tutus, ties and tube socks in second grade! 💜
We dressed for success this week at South Jefferson!
Thank you to the Andrew family, for sharing two-week-old lambs, Elsa, Anna and Olaf, with us, along with a sweet baby calf. Our kindergarten students have been studying farm animals so this was an amazing way to bring the real world to them. What fun!
In honor of World Kindness Day, our South Jefferson community raised $850 for Jefferson County’s Relay for Life! Wow!! Thank you to the awesome SJES family! 💜 Ms. Mahoney
Our second grade students had a blast in our STEAM lab today with a “SpheroBot Battle”. The students made a plan, designed their robots, experimented with the sphero balls, and made adjustments if they needed. It was really cool! They had to maneuver their robots to try and pop each others balloons that were hooked to the other robots. What a fun way to learn about the engineering process! Special thanks to Mrs. Johnson, our WV Extension Agent (and SJES parent!) who helped lead the lesson today!
Attention all fifth grade students and families:
Charles Town Middle School will be holding a scheduling informational night at CTMS on March 9th, from 6:00 - 6:45 pm. More details to come!
