Memorial Elementary School Fun Run! My school is participating in its second annual Fun Run to raise funds for playground equipment repairs, field trips, and classroom enrichment programs. Thank you for your support of our school community!

Creating addition and subtraction equations to show the number of days in school and showing their work on their number charts. I’m so proud of their growth in already showing how they created or solved an equation! #memupton #MURSDthrives

I am so proud of the children who showcased their writing growth today! To see their writings from September to today was simply amazing. “Ooh!” “WOW!”, and giggles could be heard, and proud smiles and pride could be seen. Rounds 2 and 3 tomorrow!! #memupton #MURSDthrives

We are so excited for our Writers Showcase: Our Golden and Magical Celebration! We’re going to celebrate their enormous growth of their writing skills from the beginning of the year to the end. Families, bring your tissues. There will be tears of joy! #memupton #MURSDthrives

We’ve been learning about historical inventors, and how those inventions may have changed, and how the inventions help us today. Then, we created time lines of the inventor they chose. I’m pretty impressed with their collaboration and work. #memupton #MURSDthrives

Day 2 of Student Appreciation Week- picnic lunch! It was a beautiful day to eat, laugh, and talk with friends while enjoying the outdoors. #memupton MURSDThrives

This week is Student Appreciation Week in our class! Each day has a special theme. Today was “Beach Day”. We learned and collaborated beach side today. The sound of the crashing waves was very relaxing! #memupton #MURSDthrives

What a way to start the week! She’s worked so diligently and completed her ST Math journey! Onto the challenge journey! #memupton #MURSDthrives

What a special treat to start our day! We had our very own author share her story that she wrote and illustrated! We loved how the nurse in the story was named “Mrs. Healer”. I’m sure we’ll be seeing more from this talented author. #memupton #MURSDthrives

Love that one of our Math Talks this week was created by one one of my first graders! ❤️ #memupton #MURSDthrives

Our first journal entry of the school year! We practiced RA from our RACE writing with the challenge of adding a specific detail. As you can see, the challenge was accepted. Their beautiful printing was an added bonus. #memupton #MURSDthrives

Tonight, I got to cheer on four of my students as they played against each other, as well as other first graders, and students I had last year. It was also nice to sit back and chat with their families. Oh what a night! #memupton #MURSDthrives

Perfect day for Field Day! Thank you ⁦@PtoUpton⁩ and all the volunteers for a fun filled, memorable day! Lots of smiles, laughs, and water games to keep us cool. I also learned a game that we can play at recess. #memupton #MURSDthrives

Ending this month on another positive, high note! They continue to crush their weekly goals to achieve the big end of year goals. We also got to hear a story a classmate wrote and illustrated. She wrote about why a family member was so special to her. ❤️ #memupton #MURSDThrives

and had our own animal show. The bonus was basically having the place to ourselves. Today was just absolutely magical. #memupton #MURSDthrives
