What a busy and exciting couple of weeks we’ve had in our classroom! Students have been diving into our new literacy curriculum and settling into the routines of our literacy centers. We’ve also been enjoying many hands-on learning experiences.

We are partnering with Recycle Rhonda for a challenge called the Recycle Rally. Ask your child what it’s all about! We also took a Haiku Hike in the UCS forest, where students used their senses to make observations and write beautiful haikus inspired by nature.

Our third graders had a special visit from Ms. Nancy, who led a creative math through art project exploring multiples. In addition, we spent time with our Kindergarten buddies learning about seed dispersal and enjoying some shared reading time together.

Our classroom has been busy, creative, and full of learning, and we’re off to a wonderful start!

The PTO needs your help to organize this year’s Fun Run! This exciting community event will take place on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at Mills Riverside Park. (Please note the date change!)

We’d love your support to help make this event a success. Please sign up to volunteer using this link.

If you have creative ideas to make this year’s Fun Run the best one yet, we’d love to hear from you! Email us at UCSPTO@mmuusd.org.
