🚌✨The park is calling and we must go! ✨🚌

Our amazing 2nd graders had a great time playing with their friends at Engler Park today!

Who doesn't want to conquer the playground?! There was endless fun, soaring high on the swings, racing down the slides, and plenty of teamwork on the climbing structures. It was so wonderful to see our students playing together, sharing, strengthening both their gross motor skills and social/emotional skills!

Check out a few glimpses of our sunny, action-packed adventure! 👇📸

🎡 What a whirlwind start to summer! 🎡

Has any class been busier this summer than the 4th graders?? 😎Today, they got an early jump on Country Days weekend and enjoyed some ice cream!

A massive shoutout to Ed, the owner of Sunshine Amusements, who took the time to come out and talk to our students. It wasn't just about riding the rides—Ed gave us an amazing, behind-the-scenes look at the amusement world! 🎢✨

Our real-world learning today covered:

⚙️ The Science: What makes the rides actually work (a perfect physics lesson!).

🛡️ The Safety: The incredible safety features used to keep everyone secure.

🌍 The History: The fascinating origins of where these rides came from.

💸 The Business: A look into the pricing and what it takes to run the rides.

The kids were engaged, asking great questions, and of course, having a blast. Thank you, Ed and Sunshine Amusements, for making summer school so memorable! ☀️

🍩Who's hungry? WE BROUGHT DONUTS!🍩

Our Farmington 4th graders took a delicious field trip to the Farmhouse Bakery this morning! And who doesn't love a donut?? Kids got a great lesson from Kristy Vandiver from learning what she makes, how she got started and which items are her best sellers. Our students got a firsthand look at the inside of the business world and the art of baking.

A massive thank you to Kristy and her amazing team at the Farmhouse Bakery just off the courthouse square for welcoming us, answering a million questions, and (of course) providing some incredible treats!

Check out some of our future bakers in action! 👇

☀️ ☀️ ANOTHER BUSY DAY OF FIELD TRIPS! ☀️

Our amazing summer school crew traded the classroom for the ultimate Farmington adventure today! We packed in a full day of learning, teamwork, and a whole lot of splashing.

Here is how our epic day went down:

  • 📚 Farmington Public Library: Shhh... 🤫 actually, scratch that. Things are about to get LOUD! Our 5th and 6th graders got a lot more than just a quiet day of reading as the library was transformed into a massive, live-action Escape Room! 🕵️‍♂️📚Our students cracked codes, solved riddles, and used some serious teamwork to try and escape! They also had a crafting session and another group area where they learned all about how the library functions. Huge shoutout to Travis and the incredible team at the Farmington Public Library for creating such an immersive, hands-on learning experience.

  • 🚒 Farmington Firehouse: A massive thank you to our local firefighters! The 4th graders got an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour at the Firehouse today as they checked out the trucks, their gear and learned all about fire safety from our hometown heroes.

  • 💦 Farmington Water Park: Our 2nd graders got a chance to beat the early summer heat with a trip to the Farmington Water Park! From the slides to the lazy river, there were smiles and splashes all around.

Check out some of the highlights from our day and stay tuned to see where we go next! 👇📸

For the last couple weeks of school, Roosevelt students were challenged with modeling expectations by being safe, respectful, and responsible.
The catch? ZERO office referrals. The reward? The chance to blast Ms. K with a water balloon. 🎈

Mission accomplished — with over 350 balloons launched during the Behavior Blast Challenge! #ignite #finishstrong
