The rain couldn't stop us from having a blast on Field Day!
Leading up to our exciting event, students got ready by doing action art with Coach Hurd and creating fun splatter paint shirts. On May 14th, they proudly wore their colorful shirts and best running shoes, ready for a day of fun. When the weather forecast showed rain, we moved the festivities inside without missing a beat.
Students rotated through various stations, dancing, hula hooping, and running relay races with visiting Marines. They played relay tic-tac-toe, colored a giant paper mural, and folded and flew paper airplanes. To top off the day, students hopped up on stage to show off their favorite talents, with classmates cheering them on.
Despite the rain, our Field Day was filled with laughter, creativity, and memorable moments!
Thank You Volunteers!
We are profoundly grateful for the incredible contributions our PTO makes to our school every day. From organizing book fairs, carnivals, and dance parties, to sponsoring special events and treats for students and teachers alike, our PTO ensures that our school remains a vibrant and joyful place.
Once a year, we dedicate time to celebrate the outstanding efforts of our PTO and other volunteers at our "Volunteer Tea" event. This year's theme was "Thanks for being a bright part of Elliott." Volunteers were greeted with a heartwarming parade of students carrying colorful signs and banners, expressing their gratitude and even handing out handmade flowers. Following the parade, our cherished volunteers enjoyed a beautifully decorated area where they were served tea (or coffee) and special treats prepared by the staff as a token of our deep appreciation.
We cannot thank our volunteers enough for their unwavering support and dedication. Your efforts brighten our school community and touch the hearts of everyone at Elliott.
Creative Communicator
The sixth ISTE Standard for Students is "Creative Communicator." This standard guides students to communicate clearly and express themselves creatively using various digital tools. It involves understanding how to choose the right tools and formats for their message and audience and how to use these tools to enhance their communication.
The standard encourages students to express complex concepts in a manner that will be clear and concise for their intended audience. They practice breaking down information and presenting it in ways that are easy for others to understand. Additionally, students learn to communicate and collaborate with others, both within our school and around the world. This involves using digital platforms to share ideas, provide feedback, and work together on projects.
In today’s world, digital communication is an essential skill. By mastering the Creative Communicator standard, our students learn how to effectively share their ideas and collaborate with others. Elliott Elementary students use tools including Wixie, Google Slides, Flip, and Seesaw to create engaging slide shows, videos, essays, podcasts, GIFs, posters and more. Developing skills like these are not only vital for academic success but also for their future careers and personal growth.
Fostering these skills in our students empowers them to become confident and capable communicators and prepares our students for a successful future in the rapidly evolving digital world.
