It was a great day visiting Mr. Morgan’s 4th grade classroom! Our fourth grade students were applying their knowledge to make inferences and find evidence to support their thinking. It was wonderful to see the teamwork as students worked with partners, discussed their ideas, and communicated their reasoning. Way to go, Tigers!

A penny for your thoughts has a whole new meaning in Mrs. Harden’s third grade class! This week, our third graders in Mrs. Harden’s Class dove deep into learning all about pennies. Students read informational texts and discussed how much it costs to make a penny, where pennies are made, what is on a penny, and even the impact on our community when pennies do not exist. They made predictions, conducted a science experiment using pennies, and carefully charted their results. Hands on learning, thoughtful discussions, and real world connections made this lesson shine! We love seeing our Tigers think critically, ask big questions, and make learning meaningful.

Our First Grade Tigers had a wonderful time on their field trip to see a play! Students enjoyed the performance and did a fantastic job representing our school. Way to go, Tigers! A huge thank you to our amazing first grade teachers for organizing this special experience for our students.

Puppies in training + a whole lot of smiles 🐶 Our students absolutely loved their special visit from the puppies this week! The building was filled with joy, laughter, kindness, and so many happy faces. Students enjoyed learning about each puppy in training, their unique personalities, and the important work they are preparing to do. What a paws-itively wonderful experience for everyone!

Bus route 11 will be running approximately 30 minutes late this evening due to a driver shortage. If you would like to pick your child up from school, please contact the office at 765-724-4166.

Spring Picture Day is Friday, tomorrow! We cannot wait to see all of those bright smiles ready for their photos! Say cheese, Tigers!

We are so grateful for our families who allow us to “borrow” your third graders after school as we work to strengthen their reading skills and build their confidence as readers. We are so proud of the hard work they are putting in as they prepare for IREAD-3 next week! A huge shout out to our outstanding teachers, Mrs. Harden, Mrs. Nichols, and Mrs. Thomas, for their dedication, encouragement, and commitment to helping every student succeed. Our students are ready to shine!

Our Alexandria Tigers enjoyed another special evening with family during our second Grandparent Night this week! Students in grades 3 through 6 spent meaningful time with their grandparents creating picture frames in the gym and making sundaes in the cafeteria. It was a wonderful night filled with smiles, laughter, and lasting memories. Thank you to our amazing PTO and our parent and staff volunteers for making this night so special for our families!

Thank you to our amazing staff for their hard work, preparation, and commitment to continuous improvement to better support our students. Our staff have been collaborating during professional development to strengthen reading, writing, and higher-order math skills through real-world application. When educators learn together, our Tigers succeed together!

Reading was extra exciting in the library on Friday! Students dove into a great book with Miss Nichols and used flashlights to bring their stories to life. There’s just something about reading with a flashlight that makes it even more fun! Our Tigers were hooked from the very first page. Let’s go Tigers!

Mr. Davis is helping build students’ confidence in their math abilities as they tackle multi step problems, especially when working with ratios and proportions. Students are collaborating with their peers and working in small groups to talk through their thinking and explain how they solve problems. Because of this teamwork, effort, and strong instruction, our sixth grade students have made tremendous growth in math this year!

We love seeing their growth, confidence, and positive attitudes shine throughout the building from our Tigers!. Keep up the great work, Tigers!

One of our awesome sixth grade students noticed that many of his classmates really enjoy strawberry milk. Instead of just talking about it, he took initiative and created a petition to show there was interest! He gathered support from his peers and thoughtfully presented his information to Ms. Bowen and Mr. Hosier. His hard work, confidence, and respectful approach truly paid off! We are so proud of our students for using their voices, showing leadership, and making a difference in our school community.

Go, Tigers! Alexandria Monroe Elementary School proudly hosted a standing ovation to cheer on our high school athletes and coaches. Our students were so excited and did an amazing job showing their support and school spirit. The energy in the building was incredible as we celebrated our Tigers together. We are so proud of our athletes and can’t wait to see all they accomplish. Let’s go, Tigers!

Mrs. Overman and her sixth grade students did an outstanding job analyzing non-fiction texts. Our students explored how authors use data and statistics, contradictions and contrasts, strong language, and quotes to convey their messages. They practiced discussing different non-fiction texts and were able to determine the author’s main message by applying non-fiction signposts. Wonderful job, sixth grade and Mrs. Overman! We’re proud of your hard work!
