🇺🇸 In celebration of America’s 250th anniversary this summer, Mrs. Morrell encouraged her 4th grade students to participate in a national contest by creating artwork or writing an essay answering the question, “What America Means to Me.” Five students accepted the challenge and submitted original drawings showcasing their creativity and patriotism. We’re so proud of their willingness to share their talents and represent our school! ❤️🤍💙 #KingLions #America250

During the Florida Summer Conference, Group 3 of our teaching staff experienced the High Reliability Schools framework firsthand. They returned with expanded knowledge, refined skills, and a stronger commitment to doing the "right" work that has the greatest impact on student learning. #ExpandingourROAR #CouragetoLearn #KingElementary

Our Summer Kinder Camp was a wonderful way to kick off the journey to kindergarten! ☀️📚 This week, incoming kindergarteners who were able to participate joined us for a two-day camp filled with learning, exploration, and fun. Students got a head start on some of the activities they'll enjoy during the school year, including creating with Play-Doh, building with blocks, painting, and using markers. Campers learned about our daily morning meetings, listened to engaging read-aloud stories, met their kindergarten teachers, and even had the chance to make connections with some of their future classmates. We loved getting to know these future students and can't wait to welcome them back for an amazing kindergarten year! ❤️🍎✨

Our summer school students had an amazing opportunity this year! 🏊☀️ Thanks to funding provided by the Davis School District School Board, our students enjoyed two weeks of swim lessons at Layton Surf n' Swim. During their lessons, they learned valuable swimming skills, water safety techniques, and gained confidence in the water. A huge thank you to the instructors and staff at Layton Surf n' Swim for sharing their time, expertise, and enthusiasm with our students. We are so grateful for this partnership and for helping our kids build skills that can last a lifetime! 💙🌊 #SummerSchool #SwimLessons #WaterSafety #DavisSchoolDistrict #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

Our 4th graders had a blast celebrating Pioneer Day with hands-on activities, teamwork, and a little step back in time! From pioneer games to learning about life on the trail, these students brought history to life and made memories along the way.

Mrs. Morrell’s 4th grade class recently stepped back in time at This Is the Place Heritage Park on a field trip! From pulling handcarts and riding the train to experiencing an 1800s schoolhouse (dunce cap included 😅) and learning how animal skins were turned into leather, it was a day full of hands-on history and unforgettable memories.

During their STEM class, 5th graders got a little egg-cited while learning about density! 🥚🧪 Students tested eggs in water to see if they would sink or float, then added salt and sugar to discover how changing the water affected the results. There were lots of predictions, surprises, and hands-on science fun! 🔬✨ Ask your student what happened to the egg when the water changed! 👀 #STEMFun #HandsOnLearning #ScienceIsCool #DensityExperiment #FutureScientists #SinkOrFloat #ElementarySTEM #LearningThroughPlay #STEMEducation #ScienceMagic
