New Martinsville School

Today, some of middle schoolers took an extra step to brighten our hallways—and our hearts! Cubbies had positive-affirmation Post-its, each one carrying a message of encouragement, gratitude, or kindness. Mrs. Smith's Pre-School students were so excited for teachers to read their notes. Moments like these remind us that kindness grows when we plant it. Today, our middle schoolers planted a whole garden. 🌟

Participation in our Fun Days is completely optional, but we love offering small, cheerful surprises to keep students motivated and excited as we move through the holiday season. On December 10th, we’ll be providing mustaches for any student who wish to wear one as part of our “Tech” Express Day celebration at the Tech Center. These light-hearted touches are always a favorite and help bring a little extra joy to the week. Thank you for supporting the positive energy and enthusiasm in our school community!

American Education Week

First graders in Mrs. Carpenter’s class used their iPads to be spelling detectives. The students learned how to use the magnifier and Freeform from Mrs. Hale, technology integration specialist. The students spelled words, took pictures of their words, and made illustrations.

🧠🔬 PLTW Medical Detectives at Work! 🔬🧠 Mrs. Zwick’s PLTW Medical Detectives have been diving deep into how the brain works—and this past week was an exciting one! Students had the opportunity to dissect sheep brains, giving them a hands-on look at the structures they’ve been studying. Our young scientists did an amazing job showing curiosity, care, and teamwork. 🧪✨ We’re so proud of the hard work they put into understanding one of the body’s most important organs!

Students in Mrs. Price’s room were Spelling Detectives. They used the apps Freeform and Magnifier to complete their mission.

The students in Mrs. Blake and Mrs. McKeever's 3rd-grade class showcased their creativity for Halloween with their impressively spooky desk decorations! 🎃👻

Today Miss Landis’s Career Exploration class took a look at the Career Cluster law, public safety, corrections, and security. As a class, the discovered a crime that had taken place in the city, the classroom. They worked together to document, catalog, and collect evidence from the crime scene. They numbered, took photos, and made diagrams of where important evidence was discovered. In the following days they will be collecting fingerprints, comparing data, and applying for warrants for search and seizure. The students had a great time with this beginning activity and can’t wait to solve the crime.

Today, Mrs. Ash and some of Magnolia’s FFA students joined us to run exciting Halloween stations!
