Amazing behaviors in these amazing classes!

These students were so excited to be recognized this week for their positive behaviors. 💚

Math WIN - kids playing UNO to build critical thinking skills for math! This is a great activity to enjoy at home, as well! Post a photo in the comments of your family playing UNO this weekend!

Mrs. Tana applied for an incredible opportunity through Murray State to have some of their athletes visit her students — and today it happened! We are so thankful to the student-athletes from Murray State University for spending time with our kids and for the awesome shirts. 💙💛 Experiences like this inspire our students in the very best ways!

Mrs. Terry challenged these first graders this morning with double ten-frame problem-solving! 🟩➕🟩 They stretched their thinking, built numbers in new ways and showed some serious math confidence. We love seeing our Green Devils grow even when it's hard! 💚

This week, Marshall County Schools have participated in a scheduled Title I Consolidated Monitoring visit with the Kentucky Department of Education.

As part of this process, KDE representatives have visited schools across the district to review documentation, conduct interviews and see firsthand how Title I funds support student learning.

At Sharpe Elementary, we were proud to showcase the intentional systems, instructional practices and student supports that help our Green Devils grow every day. One of the highlights was welcoming one of our visitors into preschool to see our youngest learners actively engaged in hands-on, developmentally appropriate learning.

Monitoring visits are an important opportunity to reflect, celebrate our strengths and ensure we are aligned in providing high-quality, equitable opportunities for every student.

We are grateful for the dedication of our staff and the continued partnership that supports our students and families. 💚

🇬🇧📜 Fifth Grade History in Action! 📜🇺🇸 Our fifth grade teachers are diving into an exciting new unit all about Great Britain, the American colonies and the events that led to the Declaration of Independence! Students will explore: 🔍 Why the colonists were upset with British rule 💰 What “taxation without representation” really meant ✉️ The key events that increased tensions between Great Britain and the colonies 📜 How the Declaration of Independence marked a bold step toward freedom This unit will be packed with rich discussions, primary sources, critical thinking and powerful conversations about rights, responsibility and leadership. We can’t wait to see our students analyze history, ask deep questions and connect the past to the present. Be sure to ask your fifth grader what they are learning about the “breakup” between Great Britain and the colonies — and what the Declaration of Independence really says! History is coming alive in fifth grade! 💚🔥

Ask your first grader about their vocabulary words this week! From “predicament” to “relief,” they are building their vocabulary and strengthening their comprehension skills every day. 💚

Congratulations to our Dojo Classes of the Week!

We are excited to celebrate these students as Dojo Students of the Week for amazing behavior.

Today we welcomed our partners from the West Kentucky Education Cooperative as they visited us to complete our PBIS fidelity check. The bonus was getting to have Mr. Mangels from the board office step in to relieve the teachers during their interview sessions.

This process gives us valuable feedback on how well our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports are implemented and helps ensure we are consistently creating safe, supportive and predictable learning environments for our students.

We are proud of the intentional work our staff does every day to support behavior, relationships and student success. 💚
