Longfellow Elementary

Mrs. Beckner’s class has been having fun learning about kings and queens during their CKLA Knowledge time. Each day they have a different king and queen that get to wear a cape and crown, sit on a royal throne during instruction time, and get wheeled to specials in the royal chariot! They love when students and staff bow to them when they pass! #lesinspire

No School today, Friday, February 20th due to the weather. Stay safe.

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT! LEARNING OLYMPICS! Your child will receive a "passport" upon arrival to take to all their "destinations". After visiting each destination and completing the activity, they will receive a stamp in their passport. After they have completed all of the activities and filled their passport, stop by the "gold medal stand" to get a gold medal and for a photo op on the winner's podium! Don't forget to check out our class flags in the "Olympic Village" (specials hallway)! When you're finished, hop on over to Your Pie to grab supper and support the Longfellow Parent Group. It promises to be a fun, family night! We hope to see you there! #lesinspire

Kindergarteners in KB have been learning that shapes are EVERYWHERE! Today in math they went on a shape hunt around the school.

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Pflughaupt’s class practiced segmenting and blending sounds in a fun, hands-on way today! By tossing a beach ball with words on it, students stretched the sounds and blended them together to read each word. This playful activity helped build early reading skills while keeping learning active and engaging. We’re so proud of their growing confidence as readers! #lesinspire

Mrs. Beckner’s mathematicians worked on comparing numbers by playing the game Top-It. Each player turns over a number card and decides which one is bigger. The person with the bigger number gets to keep the cards. They used math language like: greater, less than, more, fewer, higher, and lower. What a fun and easy way to practice! #lesinspire
