Highland Elementary School

Miss Fairchild's 1st graders love fun Friday! Puzzles, play dough, and blocks! 💙🐾📚✏️

Third grade students have been working on rounding to the nearest ten and hundred this week in Mrs. Bevins' math class. Students used Showdown and Quiz Quiz Trade to work on their rounding skills

Third grade students loved the new equipment on the playground. They were so excited to play on it this week! ❤️

5th graders are really showing out for the first week of school! They've finished Diagnostics, practiced new math skills & exceeded expectations to sign the WOW Board! It's going to be a great year!

This week, 6th grade launched its first weekly RC car race event! Two students were selected from each homeroom to participate, chosen for demonstrating outstanding leadership and consistent classroom engagement throughout the week. The selected students competed in morning races within their homerooms, and the winners advanced to the afternoon championship round to determine the overall grade-level champion. The weekly champion will have the honor of wearing the winner’s medal until the following week’s race. 🏅 🏎️

Fourth graders are enjoying the new playground! Thank you to everyone who made it possible!

A HUGE thank you to our incredible maintenance crew for installing Highland Elementary’s brand-new playground equipment! We appreciate you more than words can say!

Highland Elementary is now shining a little brighter thanks to the generous gift of a beautiful lighthouse from Southside FWB Church. Your kindness and support mean so much to our school family, and this lighthouse will stand as a special reminder of the guidance, hope, and light we can share with one another every day.
From all of us at Highland — thank you for helping us shine!

There has been some serious team building happening in Mrs. Wright's 6th grade reading classes today! Students worked with their new table groups to attempt to complete multiple challenges in which several were successful, due to teamwork! 💙

When students observed that their teachers' tables were slightly unstable, they discussed potential solutions to stabilize them. The next day, they arrived at school equipped with tools and offered to assist with the repairs. These students demonstrated not only a willingness to help but also preparedness, bringing the appropriate tools needed for the task. I appreciated the problem-solving skills they displayed during the repair process.

It has been a productive first week in 6th grade. Mrs. Bayes' class learned about the G.R.A.P.E.S. acronym, which will serve as a guiding framework for their study of world history. Additionally, students engaged in team-building activities to foster collaboration and a positive classroom environment.

Mrs. Wright’s Reading classes explored Canva today, putting their creativity to use in designing their ideal toolkits for an imaginary deserted island survival scenario. 🏝️🪵🔥💧
