AUTHOR VISIT!!! We are thrilled to share an exciting event that took place in our KM elementary libraries this month! Our K-3 grade students had the wonderful opportunity to meet best-selling author Diane Nienas. She shared her children's book series, Living Life with Leo and the adventures of her son, Leo, a boy who uses a wheelchair. Students were encouraged to celebrate differences, embrace challenges, and lead with kindness. Her books can be purchased on Amazon. We also have them available for book checkout in our school libraries. This event was organized by the district library media specialists who work to promote the love of reading to our students. Later in the year, students in grades 4-5 will have their own author visit.

Our Kindergarten and 5th grade buddies teamed up outside for a hands-on, multi-age vocabulary lesson. Fifth graders created rigorous vocabulary cards (complete with definitions, gestures, and clues) and taught the words to their Kindergarten buddies. The Kindergarteners jumped right in, showing off what they knew and even teaching some words back!
And we’re not done yet! Next, Kindergarten will create their own vocab cards and teach the words to the 5th graders. All cards will be combined into one shared deck both grade levels will use together.
This joyful collaboration showcases the power of multi-age learning: rigorous work, meaningful teaching opportunities, and a strong school community all happening outdoors at Magee!

FIRST WEEK OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!! It is always exciting to welcome students back and introduce them to a new year of learning. This year, we are really leaning into a culture of One KM. We encourage all of our KM families to explore other schools, schedule tours, meet the staff, talk with families, and attend events at each of our locations. With over 90 square miles, our district is spread out geographically, making our schools feel somewhat isolated from the broader KM Community. As students transition to new schools, whether that be another elementary for 26-27 or to middle and high school, we want them to feel confident in their surroundings. Please visit kmsd.edu/restructure to learn more about the new elementary boundaries and find upcoming events at other schools.
