📚🎩 Read Across America in Mrs. Sockey’s Kindergarten! 🎩📚

Today our class had a very special visitor — Miss CASC 2026, Kennedy Lewis!
Kennedy, a 2025 graduate of Heavener and current freshman majoring in Allied Health, joined us for Read Across America and read a fun book to our Kindergarteners! 📖✨

Our students also showed off their favorite Dr. Seuss outfits — including some adorable character looks — while celebrating the joy of reading. It was a PAWS-itive and memorable day full of smiles, imagination, and literacy excitement! ❤️📚

Thank you, Miss Lewis, for sharing your time and love of reading with us!

Read Across America – Tuesday Reminder!

Tomorrow is Tuesday and our theme is:

✨ Reading Gives You Superpowers! ✨

Students are invited to wear their favorite superhero shirt as we continue celebrating Read Across America Week.

Reading truly gives our students superpowers — stronger vocabulary, bigger imaginations, sharper thinking skills, and the confidence to take on new challenges. Every book opened is another power unlocked.

We can’t wait to see all our superheroes on campus tomorrow!

Let’s keep making this a PAWS-itive week full of literacy fun.

💚FULL GRINCH MODE ACTIVATED! 💚 One of Mrs. Amber Dalton’s 3-year-old students showed up today in true Whoville style for Read Across America “Seuss-tastic” Dress-Up Day — and let’s just say… the Grinch made an appearance! From the fuzzy green fur and Santa hat to the Grinch slippers and perfectly grumpy pose, this little reader was completely in character. Even better? The Grinch joined friends for story time and classroom fun as we celebrated the joy of reading and our favorite Dr. Seuss characters. We love seeing our youngest learners bring books to life with creativity, imagination, and big smiles (even if they’re pretending to be a little grumpy 💚). Today was a wonderful reminder that reading makes our hearts grow three sizes, too! ❤️📖 #ReadAcrossAmerica #SeusstasticDay #HoweLions #LoveOfReading

Math is sweeter in 2nd grade! Today, Mrs. Hildebrant’s class combined hands-on learning with a little fun by using Skittles to create bar graphs. Students sorted their candy by color, counted each group, and recorded their data before building their own bar graphs to represent their results. Along the way, they strengthened important math skills like: ✔️ Sorting and categorizing ✔️ Counting and comparing quantities ✔️ Representing data visually ✔️ Analyzing which group had the most and least Activities like this help make math concepts meaningful, engaging, and memorable. When students can see, touch, and build their learning, it truly sticks. Great job, 2nd grade!
