Rockford Elementary

Wonderful things are happening in Pre-K! . On Wednesday, December 4 Jennifer Jones came to read her book she wrote called Alex Flies to the prek classes. This is a true story based on one of her sons. Mrs Jones is a retired English teacher. We so enjoyed having her come and read to us.

Reminder: Rockford Elementary will have early dismissal at 1:00 PM on Friday, December 6th. 🕐 Please plan accordingly. Thank you!

#SCSUpdates | Due to a light dusting of snow on a number of roadways in the Flat Rock, Slate Mountain, and Westfield communities, Surry County Schools will operate on a 3-hour delay on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

We are thankful! Mrs. Day’s classes participated in a variety of activities centered around Thanksgiving. Third grade students learned about Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving proclamation. Students then aspired to be future presidents themselves, as they shared their own proclamations. Fourth and Fifth grade explored nouns and wrote essays displaying gratitude. Kindergarten students worked on fine motor skills and directionality by practicing left and right while creating turkeys, followed by reading a text from left to right to reinforce literacy concepts. Second grade wrote a poem of thanks, and drew conclusions about turkeys after reading a nonfiction text. First grade sequenced how to bake a turkey. They stuffed their turkeys with some interesting ingredients! 😄
