On Thursday 3rd graders went to Conservation Camp held at Sugar Hollow Park for Washington Co students. As you can tell by these photos these kids had a really good time learning about nature and a few reptiles.
Today was a special day at High Point Elementary! 🐝💚💛 Our first student got to choose a book from our brand-new book vending machine! What an exciting way to celebrate the joy of reading! 📖💫

Second Grade Classroom Project: Our Community Helpers
Our second-grade students have been learning about communities and the important people who help make our communities strong and successful. Students explored different community helpers and learned about the important contributions each person makes to our community.
Each student chose a community helper that interested them. They researched and learned about their helper’s job, responsibilities, and contributions to the community. To demonstrate their learning, students created a craft representing their chosen community helper.
Through this project, students learned that every community helper has an important role and that people in different careers work together to help, protect, educate, and serve others in our community.

Second grade students in classroom guidance are learning ways to improve when they're learning a new skill and ways to keep going when they make a mistake or face a challenge. The 1st 9 weeks unit of study in guidance is growth mindset and goal setting. Second graders identified a skill they’d like to get better at, created a piece of art depicting that skill and will make a plan to improve in that area. Students practice identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts ('I can't do this') into helpful thoughts ('I can't do it yet!').
Why it matters: research shows children who learn these skills are more likely to make positive choices, experience greater well‑being, and contribute to a better school environment.

Mrs. Woodby's Math class had a fabulous time making a bus cookie using different shapes! The students practiced identifying and counting sides and vertices while following our recipe. It was a hands-on way to build shape knowledge, use our creativity and fine motor skills, and follow directions---all while enjoying a tasty treat!
First grade spent the week reading about everyone’s favorite big red dog, Clifford! The students covered comprehension skills, story elements, and positive character attributes! They wrapped up the week wearing red in celebration of Clifford the Big Red Dog! 🐾❤️
🎾 Tennis Fun in PE! 🎾
We had a special guest in PE on Tuesday! Coach Ben Jones from Bristol Sportsplex visited High Point and worked with students in all grade levels, introducing them to tennis skills and fundamentals.
Our 1st graders from Mrs. Lewis and Mrs. Woodby's class focused on ball control and learned the basics of a forehand stroke:
🎾 Turn sideways
🎾 Drop the racket below the ball
🎾 Swing from low to high
🎾 Make contact with the ball out in front
They did a fantastic job listening, learning, and putting their new skills into action!.
A big THANK YOU to Coach Jones for spending the day with our students and sharing his love of tennis!

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Kindergarten
The kindergarten classes at High Point Elementary have been
studying the alphabet, learning to name the letters and sounds,
and how to write our names. We enjoyed the book Chicka Chicka
Boom Boom by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault, which is
about the letters of the alphabet climbing up the coconut tree. We
completed a variety of activities, including making name hats.
Stay tuned to see what is going on in the Kindergarten Kingdom
this year.

So much learning happens when little hands and big imaginations work together!
Mrs. Horne's class explored rolling, twisting and cutting Playdoh in Art also.
It has been such a fun week for our Preschoolers here at High Point!

Our PreK–2nd grade students had a great time learning about bus safety with one of our wonderful bus drivers, Ms. Rita!

We are so thankful for Ms. Rita and all of our bus drivers who help keep our students safe each day! 🐝💚💛
