🌎✨ What an incredible day at Memorial Elementary! ✨🌎

Our 2nd graders brought history to life through an engaging Ellis Island Immigration Simulation! 🇺🇸

Students rotated through hands-on stations such as Baggage Check, Health Inspection, Naturalization, Character Evaluation, Currency Exchange, and Immigrant Experience, giving them a deeper understanding of what immigrants experienced in the past.

This meaningful activity helped build empathy, curiosity, and a real connection to history. 💙📚

👏 Thank you to everyone who helped make this day so special!

Memorial Elementary School Color Run flyer with a bright, colorful spring theme. The top reads “Memorial Elementary” and “Friday, April 10th” above large rainbow-colored text that says “Color Run!” In the center, four elementary-aged children wearing white T-shirts and sunglasses run forward smiling while being covered in multicolored powder. In the bottom right corner, a cartoon school mascot dressed in a patriotic-style outfit with an “MES” hat gives a thumbs up. The bottom section lists what students should wear: a white shirt, old shoes, and sunglasses, and suggests bringing a change of clothes because participants will be covered in colored powder.

Hands-on learning in action! 🧪✨

Our students are diving into the world of science by exploring mass, density, and volume through interactive experiments. By dropping different objects into graduated cylinders and carefully recording their observations, they’re discovering how these concepts come to life beyond the textbook.

It’s amazing to see curiosity, critical thinking, and teamwork all in one place. The future scientists are hard at work! 🔬💡 #STEMlearning #HandsOnScience #FutureScientists
