Mustang Week-at-a-Glance! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Our Mustangs completed the First 8 Days of Leader in Me! Through engaging activities, students prepared for a successful school year by learning expectations and what it means to be responsible citizens, effective communicators, active collaborators, critical thinkers, learners, and leaders. These lessons have helped build a strong foundation for a year filled with learning, leadership, and growth. We can’t wait to see all they accomplish in the year ahead! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride #LeaderInMe

Thursday’s Underground Spirit Day was a hit! We rocked our favorite band shirts, and one very observant fourth grader cracked the case during lunch. Congratulations to Emerlyne Hall-Elam, our Rock & Roll Detective! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Students in Mrs. Martin’s and Mrs. Tabitha’s science classes explored energy through hands-on learning with car launchers and Hot Wheels! They made exciting observations, asked thoughtful questions, and are ready to dive deeper into energy in the coming days. ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Lyndsey’s reading class learned an important lesson today: reading gives us power! Students were first given materials and challenged to build a catapult—but there was one catch… no directions! They had to work together, experiment, problem-solve, and push through some productive struggle. Then, students were given a passage about catapults that explained how to build one using the same materials. Suddenly, the words on the page became a tool! Students were able to use what they read to understand the task, make changes, and successfully build their catapults. Today we learned that reading isn’t just something we do in reading class. Reading helps us understand, solve problems, learn new things, and accomplish things we couldn’t do before. When we can read, we have the power to learn, create, and succeed! ❤️🐴🖤

Ms. Kandace’s and Mr. Brown’s third graders practiced synergizing today as teams worked together to save Fred! Teams learned that together is better when it comes to meeting our goals! 🪱🛟

FRC After-School Enrichment kicked off on Monday with 52 students! Over six Mondays, students will enjoy fun, educational activities including exercise, LEGO, STEM, and cooking classes. Thank you to all our helpers for making the first day a success! One down, five more fun-filled Mondays to go! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mustang Week-at-a-Glance! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

This past week, Mrs. Shepherd’s first grade class learned about being a class family, building friendships, and being a leader. They wrapped up the week by making a Friendship Salad! The ingredients included kindness, sharing, respectful words, hard work, and happiness. Students promised to bring these ingredients into their classroom every day. They decided to leave out one ingredient—the rotten banana! They agreed there is no room for bad words, hurtful actions, or unkindness in their class family. It’s going to be a great year! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Tabitha’s fourth grade class enjoyed the read-aloud The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors! After listening to the story, students were given three different scenarios and had to choose whether they would be Rock, Paper, or Scissors. They finished the activity with a fun Rock, Paper, Scissors competition. ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Art Rotation in the books. After learning about “What is Art” we finished off the week by using Icing as our “media” on some gram crackers. ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

Mrs. Tabitha’s fourth grade class enjoyed the read-aloud The Legend of Rock, Paper, Scissors!

Mrs. Lyndsey & Ms. Hallie’s homerooms put their teamwork to the test with a fun paper chain challenge! 🔗✨ Students worked together to see which class could create the longest chain while practicing collaboration, communication, and sharing ideas. It was a fun way to build teamwork and strengthen our classroom community! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride

The second phase of our inclusive playground is officially installed, and it was so special to see so many of our Mustangs enjoying it on the very first day of school! A huge thank you to the countless Mustang families and community members who supported this project and held fundraisers to help make it possible. This is what happens when we work together! Rockcastle County truly exemplifies Habit 6—Synergize. Together is better! ❤️🐴🖤 #MustangPride
