Longfellow Elementary

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope you’re enjoying your time away—and we’ll see you again soon! 🍂 #MISDinspire #MISDOwnYourFuture

Did you hear the news? We are launching Reading Challenges each month! The students attended an assembly today where they learned all about it. In your child's backpack today you should have found a reading log and a letter explaining it all. If you haven't found them yet, be sure to check those backpacks because the challenge starts NOW! #lesinspire

Check out the details for the next Fastworks event on December 3rd.

Our Kindness Krew for this quarter has been hard at work doing their daily jobs of greeting, returning lunch cards, picking up ice packs, picking up recycling, helping with the No Thank You cart, and holding doors, as well as, helping with our PBIS assembly and sorting food for the food drive! They are great examples of leaders and exemplify kindness at Longfellow. #lesinspire #misdinspire

Please note these important dates! ✍️ Students will be dismissed early from school on Tuesday, November 26. Our Thanksgiving Break is Wednesday, November 27 through Friday, November 29. Classes resume Monday, December 2. #MISDInspire #MISDOwnYourFuture

It’s never too early to start reading with your child! 📚 Reading is an important skill, whether you’re in preschool or high school. A strong foundation in reading sets you up for success for the rest of your life! 🚀 #MISDInspire #MISDOwnYourFuture

Ms. Jenni's class learned about the letter N this week. They played a game by looking for the letter N on nut pictures. If it was a letter other than N they would say, "Oh nuts!" #lesinspire #misdinspirr

During Extra PE with Mr. Meth, students had fun putting scarves in front of the big fan and watching them fly, then chasing them down to do it all over again! #lesinspire #misdinspire

Lots of exciting things happen at recess some days including so many leaves to play in and fire trucks driving by and honking! #lesinspire #misdinspire

First graders are currently learning about ancient civilizations in knowledge. This week they learned about ancient Egypt and their writing. They even used hieroglyphics to write their names! #lesinspire #misdinspire

How do good readers get to be good readers? By READING, of course! 🤓 The second graders practice reading every day. Many days they will partner read. Partners are a great way to hear someone else reading with good expression and also provide help when you encounter a tricky word you don’t know. #2headsarebetterthan1 If you need a fun idea this weekend, try partner reading with your student. Grab a book, a comfy spot, and take turns delighting in the story! 📚😊#lesinspire #misdinspire

Preschool visited the Marion Public Library Friday! They learned about what the library does, what they can find in the library, and so much more! Students also got to listen to one of the librarians read and decorate a turkey. #lesinspire #misdinspire

Did you see the snow today? Were you as excited as the students? Miss Haag continued a long-standing tradition of teaching her students how to make paper snowflakes ❄️ on the day of the first snow each school year today! #lesinspire #misdinspire

During math today students in Mrs. Beckner's class graphed their favorite colors, then talked about all the information they can get from their graph. #lesinspire #misdinspire

Who doesn't love Fort Day?! These first graders in Mrs. Tabakas class celebrated a recent reward with some reading in their forts! #lesinspire

To celebrate World Kindness Day, First Grade read the book “A Little Spot of Kindness”! Then they made their own spot of kindness! #lesinspire #misdinspire

World Kindness Day is a perfect reminder of how positive actions—such as including others, showing patience, and speaking kindly—make our schools feel like a welcoming place for everyone. Keep up the great work! 🙌💛 #MISDInspire #MISDOwnYourFuture
