Mrs. Bevins' class had a great time this week with hands on learning and Kagan strategies. We even tried out a few new ones like Numbered Heads Together and Fan and Pick. We also practiced our vocabulary words using Quiz Quiz Trade. We went outside and wrote addition equations. We then applied our addition skills to review rounding from last week on a number line. We also have a new Student of the Week and our first birthday of the year. It's been an awesome second full week of school!

Good luck Johnson County Cross Country runners at your first meet of the season!!! Let's show everyone how Eagles soar!!! 🦅💛🖤

If you would like your child to be involved in FCA, be on the lookout for permission slips!

⛈️ HEADS UP, WILDCAT FAMILIES! ⛈️

Highland Elementary will be conducting severe weather safety drills tomorrow, Thursday, August 20 as part of our ongoing efforts to make sure our students and staff know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency.

We know that drills can sometimes make younger children a little nervous, so we wanted to give families a heads up ahead of time. 💙

Tonight, you may want to talk with your child and remind them that:

🐾 It is only a practice drill. There is no actual emergency.

👂 Listen carefully to their teacher and follow directions.

🚶 Stay calm and move quietly to the designated safe area.

💙 Drills help keep us safe! Practicing means everyone will know what to do if severe weather ever occurs during the school day.

Our teachers and staff will guide students through the process calmly and carefully. Student safety is always our top priority at Highland Elementary!

Thank you for helping us prepare our Wildcats without creating unnecessary worry. 💙🤍
