Floyd Elementary would like to thank our community partners for sharing some of their special vehicles with us this week. The students loved being up close and able to learn more about your important work.
Mrs. Stevens and Mrs. Carey were eager to get to nature time with their first graders today. What a beautiful day for outdoor learning at Floyd.
Floyd kindergarteners had some neat critter finds while exploring new areas today. They also practiced identifying nature area boundaries.
Floyd KinderCamp Day 2: New friendships, new learning.
Floyd Elementary's day one of KinderCamp was filled with lots of new experiences. From the morning meeting song, learning and playing with new friends, a soggy recess (Hello, worms! 😍), lunch in the community room--students handled it all beautifully. See you in the morning!
Welcome back, Floyd students! Tonight's open house was a blast! Can't wait to see you in the morning!
Welcome to Kendra Nichols!
Floyd students, I have exciting news for you! Mr. Andrew is nearly finished cleaning your library, and Ms.Theresa has a big wagon of books to unpack. Your teachers picked out some exciting books for you to check out this year. We can't wait to share them with you! 📚 😍
Help us welcome Esther Sutherland, Floyd Professional!
Floyd Elementary is so appreciative to have been chosen by Midland Costco for their 2025 Backpack Program. Backpacks were delivered to us today to pass out to all students at the open house & first day of school, along with a generous gift card for school supplies. THANK YOU!
It's that time of summer where things are falling into place--shiny floors, rooms ready for setting up, spruced up nature areas, and a playground waiting for the return of my Floyd friends. I am missing you all! See you soon! -Mrs. Moses
As if field day isn't fun enough with all that Mrs. Kristy Chaffin plans for us, this year Floyd students were treated to a seemingly endless supply of ice cream bars from Mr. Steve Jenkins and party music by one of our own students and aspiring DJ, Anthony. Thank you to all who came out to celebrate with us.
Oh, happy day! Floyd first graders had a great time dipping at the pond with Mrs. LaCourt and CNC's Mr. Ian. They found frogs, a newt, and even tadpoles with back legs.
Floyd students are experimenting with extending the boundaries of our playground into the edge of our woods to allow for fort building during recess. Students are working with staff to determine appropriate expectations that allow both fun and safety.
Mrs. White’s nature second graders are rock stars! They planned a successful rock party where students brought in their rock collections, followed the scientific process to hypothesize how many chocolate chips were in their cookie, and then carefully excavated each chocolate chip --just like a geologist! Students also enjoyed making gummy fossils by applying pressure to gummy worms, gummy fish, and Sour Patch Kids to simulate how a fossil is made. Finally, they made geometric shapes to review their geometry unit of 3D shapes in math. These scientists and mathematicians certainly know how to party!
Floyd Elementary second grader, Iliana Stanton, was presented with the Claire’s Award for Reading Achievement by the Rotary Club of Midland. Iliana was nominated by her teacher, Mrs. Sarah White, for her hard work and impressive growth in reading skills. Iliana’s parents and grandparents celebrated this accomplishment at the ceremony on May 5, 2025.
Floyd's Young Fives and Kindergarten classes were visited by residents of Meridian Acres today. They worked together to decorate flower pots and plant flowers for a special person in their family. It was a great experience for everyone, young and old! Thanks to our Nature Coordinator, Tina Pretzer, for putting it together!
How cool is it when you and your kindergarten friends read a book about Amelia Earhart AND THEN YOUR TEACHER has a friend who is a pilot willing to fly over the playground?! Floyd kindergartners will tell you it's way cool!
Students have been answering Mrs. Moses' call for BCHS soccer volunteers by filling the important role of ball runners. They keep a ball on the field for our Lady Lancers and then chase down the ones kicked off. Parents of players appreciate the kids helping because it allows them to stay in the stands and enjoy the games--which have been impressive. Go, Lancers!
Floyd students and staff are a lucky bunch to have this kitchen crew making our meals every day. We're thankful for all they do and for the patience they have for us during two of the busiest times of our day. 🖤💛
