Palm City Elementary School

Our kindergarten scientists had a spooktacular time exploring science centers! 👻 They squished and stretched ooey gooey Ooblek, created Halloween-themed crafts, and tested whether pumpkins sink or float. What a fun day of hands-on learning! 🎃🧪

🍂📚 Fall Into a Good Book! 🍁❤️ There’s nothing better than sharing the magic of reading with the people you love! Our students enjoyed a special time reading alongside their loved ones, making memories one page at a time. 🧡 Thank you to our families for taking the time to join us and help foster a love of reading! #FallIntoAGoodBook

🍎✨CELEBRATING EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION✨🍎

Today, we’re proud to celebrate Brandi Heaton, Palm City Elementary School’s 2026-27 Teacher of the Year! 🎉

Kindness goes a long way, and Mrs. Heaton’s coworkers see it in the patience, support and warm smile she brings to work each day. As one colleague shared, she’s someone they can count on for help without hesitation. It’s a wonderful reminder that the people who make a difference in our schools are often the ones who make a difference for each other, too!

👏 Help us celebrate Mrs. Heaton and all our Teachers of the Year by casting your vote through the Education Foundation of Martin County: https://www.educationfoundationmc.org/p/327/place-your-vote

Our kindergarten students are learning about the Six Pillars of Character as we celebrate Character Counts Week!
⭐ Trustworthiness
⭐ Respect
⭐ Responsibility
⭐ Fairness
⭐ Caring
⭐ Citizenship
We’re proud of the kind and thoughtful choices our students make every day! Check out our kindergarteners all dressed in their blue shirts, showing their character spirit together! Ask your child which pillar they practiced today, and keep the conversation going at home.

Our students put the scientific method into action while exploring the similarities and differences between comets, asteroids, meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites! Students developed hypotheses and conducted investigations to answer the question: Does the height from which a meteorite falls affect the size of the crater it creates? 💥

It's Chick-fil-A Night on 10/26/2026, from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m. Use the code, wildcats when you order and help give 10% back to PCE!

🐾🦁 Learning About Animal Adaptations & Classification! 🐢🦋 After completing our first Benchmark unit on Animal Adaptations and our first science unit on Animal Classification, our third graders put their learning into action through a PBL! 🔍📚 Students researched a specific animal, discovering fascinating facts, identifying the adaptations that help it survive in its environment, and learning how it is classified. To showcase their learning, students created their own “textbook” pages using a variety of text features to organize and share their information. From headings and captions to interesting facts and more, they demonstrated their knowledge in creative and meaningful ways! 📝✨
