South Boston Elementary Community Christmas

Students in Miss Redd's class recently had a blast creating "puffy paint" pumpkins! They mixed and added food coloring to design their unique masterpieces. Students also welcomed a special guest from the South Boston Fire Department, who shared essential fire safety tips. The students dressed up and learned valuable lessons, making it an unforgettable day of creativity and safety!

Ms. Snead's first graders had an exciting hands-on science experience this week as part of their Science SOL explorations! Using their science kits, students created bird feeders with WOW butter and birdseed. Each child made one to take home and also placed some outside our classroom to observe nature up close.

This activity encouraged students to explore concepts related to living things, habitats, and observation skills—all while having a wonderful time learning about how to care for the world around us. We can’t wait to see which feathered friends visit our classroom feeders!

✨ What a magical day at South Boston Elementary! Our students showcased their school spirit during Witch and Wizard Day, dressing up as their favorite characters! 🌟

🎃October Tech-Tip🎃

Digital Citizenship – 👻Be a Tech Hero, Not a Tech Monster!👻

Tip:

Remind your child that being kind online matters. Just like they’d never yell ‘boo!’ in someone’s face to hurt them, they shouldn’t post mean or hurtful things online. Encourage them to be a Tech Hero by using their words to help and encourage others.
