Our first graders have been learning all about life cycles! Today, students worked in groups to retell the life cycle of a frog and discover how an oak tree has a life cycle, too. 🌱➡️🌳
Students collaborated to create life cycle posters and then proudly presented their work to their peers! We loved seeing them work together, share their thinking, and build confidence as presenters. 🗣️💚
So much learning, teamwork, and growing happening in 1st grade! 🍎✨
🎉 We had our first Spirit Day of the school year and it was PAWSome! We celebrated birthdays and the start of a brand new school year, learned about Hispanic Heritage Month, practiced some Spanish, and talked about what a habit is and how our habits help us grow.
We also learned about AVID goal setting and how our first schoolwide goal is to wear our lanyard everyday! 🎯
We wrapped up the day by turning in our PAWS Coins to celebrate our success in following our PAWS Commitments! We are so proud of the positive choices, hard work, and growth we are already seeing. 🐾💙 #AllPawsIn

Our kindergarten students are settling in beautifully! Everyone is making friends, learning classroom routines and procedures and discovering all the fun that comes with being at school. We are so proud of the growth, smiles and excitement we are seeing from our little learners! Here's to a wonderful year of learning and growing together!
🔬💧 Our third graders are putting the scientific method into action! This week, students tested whether a penny could hold more drops of plain water or soapy water, carefully recording their data in their science notebooks.
They’re also putting AVID WICOR into practice through Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, and Organization as they work together, ask questions, track their data, and draw conclusions. We love watching our young scientists learn through hands-on investigation! 🧪📓
✨ What Does It Mean to Be a Successful 1st Grader? ✨
This week our 1st graders completed an AVID Successful Student activity and talked about the little things that help us have a BIG year! 🌟
We discussed the importance of:
⏰ Being on time and ready to learn
🪪 Wearing our ID and lanyard every day
🎯 Setting goals and working toward them
📁 Bringing our communication folder to and from school DAILY
🎒 Being responsible for our belongings
💪 Taking ownership of our learning and following PAWS commitments 🐾
First SAC meeting of the year! 💙💛 Our parents collaborated, shared valuable feedback, and helped us think about how we can continue making PCE the best it can be. So thankful for their partnership! 🐾✨
📸Say cheese!
Fall Portrait day is TOMORROW, August 26, 2026!
