Collier Elementary School

Collier is an Awesome School!

Congratulations, Collier students, staff, parents and community! Today is an awesome day to share that Collier has almost completed the first quarter and students have done a wonderful job! We are so proud of the hard work you have put into your child’s education. We worked together to make sure students were in school and on time, that they were ready to work, do their homework and read at home. Congratulations on your accomplishment! Education is not like filling a pail but lighting a fire. Explore! Discover! And Do Your Best!

Congratulations to our preschool students for earning an awesome attendance award 3 weeks in a row. Way to go and continue to come to school on time.

We have been working hard in the OMA classroom! As a whole school, we started off the month learning about realism in art, creating art in the realism style, and choosing an art piece to hang in our classrooms for the month of October.

· Preschool will continue to focus on various themes such as numbers, animals, actions and body parts.

· Kindergarten is writing and choreographing their own story.

· First grade is using movement to reinforce addition and subtraction.

· Second grade is using movement to work on number sense.

· Third grade is summarizing I Have an Olive Tree by Eve Bunting and writing a musical score that can tell the story without words.

· Fourth and fifth grade is using research and movement to explore numbers in the millions, billions, and above.

This month we are focusing on Kindness!

Ben's Bells shares the Science of Kindness with this quote, "Helping children to focus on acts of kindness leads them to want to help, share, and comfort each others, even those who may be different from them. These are important keys to inclusion and building positive communities."

-Greater Good in Action University of California, Berkeley, 2021
