🗻 Peak of the Week🗻 Some 5th graders helped Mrs. Staley and Mrs. Beck surprise VCE staff with a new staff workroom space during this morning's announcements!
The idea for a space outside of the classroom for staff to congregate while eating and planning came up while reviewing staff survey feedback during this month's School Leadership Team meeting. We are so lucky to have a staff that wants to collaborate and build relationships with each other to continue growing as a strong team for the benefit of our students!
Shout out to our School Leadership Team for always prioritizing what is best for students and staff and implementing changes quickly time and time again to keep VCE the place everyone wants to be! 🧡 💙

Congratulations to 5th Graders Miranda, Samantha, and Aylin for being selected to represent VCE in the NCASA Elementary QUILL Competition!
The Quill is a writing competition in which teams of 3 students create written products after each being given a prompt from one of 3 text types (Narrative, Opinion, Informational). The Quill is an original competition developed in cooperation with the North Carolina Reading Association (NCRA) and aligns with North Carolina reading standards.
Way to go, Cubs, and thank you to Mrs. Cox for facilitating this opportunity!

🗻 Peak of the Week🗻 It's always a great day when Ms. Brower and her Chatham Middle AVID students come to visit!
5th graders learned more about how the AVID program is implemented in middle school and had the opportunity to ask 8th grade students questions. We loved seeing former Cubs and seeing a preview of where our 5th graders are headed 😎

1st graders conducted an investigation to better understand the function of birds' beaks as part of their EL module. We love how hands-on the EL curriculum is so our Cubs stay immersed in their learning!

These students spent many afternoons after school working on their pieces with the support of Ms. Chevez. We are so proud of our Cubs!
