Floyd first grade students in Mrs. Stevens' class recently enjoyed their reading lesson in one of Floyd's outdoor classrooms.
Floyd 5th grade had a great day to boil sap and continue the maple syrup process. Using Mr. Wright's evaporator and expertise, they were able to explain the process to younger students. Next week, pancakes!
The Young Fives and Kindergarten classes from Floyd Elementary took a trip to Journeys Coffeehouse, where they had the exciting opportunity to order from the menu and pay their own bill. This hands-on experience helped students practice important life skills such as making choices, handling money, and understanding the value of goods and services. They also worked on social skills, communication, and confidence in a real-world setting. It was a fun and educational outing that encouraged independence and reinforced classroom lessons in a meaningful way!
The Chippewa Nature Center welcomed Floyd third graders to Creek Week last week. The students enjoyed learning outside each day, and the CNC staff was just as amazing as always.
During their time together in art class, Mr. Patrick VanCise and Floyd’s fifth graders are moving right along with the design and implementation of their habitats mural. This will be given to the school to use as part of the nature program. Each student is researching, drawing, and painting an animal, plant, or insect/arachnid on the mural.
Mrs. Diaz's third graders at Floyd celebrated reading Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn Dixie with a party inspired by the book. Besides this class created picture, students filled the room with pictures of their own sweet doggies.
Floyd fifth graders and kindergartners teamed up this week to begin learning the maple syrup process. With Mr. Josh Wright's help, students tapped trees to collect sap. They're looking forward to experiencing the process all the way through to the pancake breakfast.
Tapping trees to make maple syrup has been a special tradition at Floyd that goes back many, many years. I hope some of you reading this have fond memories of doing this at Floyd when you were in fifth grade.

This lovely group of Floyd Elementary readers competed in the first Battle of the Books competition of the season today. The three teams are each hoping to earn a spot in next week's battle by scoring in the top half of all participating teams. We are so proud of their dedication and drive. 🖤💛
Floyd students wrapped their festive week up with a campfire in the snow, a sing along with local author (and Mrs. Diaz's uncle) Mike McMath, and class parties. So many reasons to smile!
Floyd families and friends were treated to a beautiful singing program this afternoon led by Mr. Jerashen. Our young 5's, kindergarteners, first and second graders didn't disappoint. We're thankful for this opportunity to come together.
Our Floyd first graders learned more about our universe today with a visit to the Delta College Planetarium. They returned to school with a better understanding of how Earth, moon and sun work together.
