Our Farley Elementary 3rd grade students wrapped up the year with winter rotations filled with fun and teamwork!

Both classes joined together and rotated through six engaging stations, including reading books, playing games, and enjoying seasonal activities. It was a joyful way to celebrate the end of 2025! ❄️

With 2026 ahead of us, we’re ready to build even more memories.

As part of the Bridges Math curriculum, Farley Elementary students took their learning beyond the classroom!

During small group time, students went on a shape hunt through the hallways and found rectangles, squares, triangles, and circles all around. It was a hands-on way to connect math to the world around them! 🙌

Farley Elementary prekindergarten students are learning alphabet concepts in meaningful, personal ways! By using classmate names to introduce letters, students stay engaged while building foundational skills. They match photos to names, form letters with wooden pieces, and greet each other by recognizing names and letters at the morning meeting! 😀
