First grade wrapped up their CKLA Reading Domain 2 with a fun culminating activity. Students reviewed their brain, nutrition, vaccines and even had a special visit from Dr. Seamons who checked students’ weight, height, ears and let them see inside their ears and mouths. He even brought an ambulance for the kids to explore!

✨ When Mrs. Smith Was a Kid! ✨

Before she was our fabulous librarian, Mrs. Smith was a little girl who loved the color blue, PB&Js for lunch, and playing football! 🏈💙📚

We're so lucky to have her helping our students discover the magic of books and a love of reading! We love getting a peek into the childhoods of the amazing people who make Rock Creek Elementary so special! 🩷✨

✨ When Mrs. Franco Was a Kid! ✨

Before she was one of our amazing ERC teachers, Mrs. Franco was a little girl who loved the color green, Lunchables for lunch, and playing softball! 🥎💚

Mrs. Franco brings so much love, care, and compassion to her students every day. She has such a special way of making her students feel loved and supported, and we are so lucky to have her as part of our Rock Creek family! 💕✨

💜⚽ WHEN MRS. G WAS A KID! ⚽💜

Time to meet another amazing member of our 5th-grade team — Mrs. Glasheen! 💜 Whether she’s inspiring her students in the classroom or sharing her love of all things Harry Potter, she brings her own special magic to Rock Creek Elementary! 🪄✨

When Mrs. G. was a kid, her favorite color was purple, her favorite snack was peanut butter bars (yum! 😋), and she loved playing soccer and participating in 4-H! ⚽🍀

We wonder if the Sorting Hat would have placed little Mrs. Glasheen in the same Hogwarts house she’d choose today?!? 🧙‍♀️📚 And if she could have one magical power in her classroom, we’re guessing it might be a little help with grading papers! 😂

We’re so lucky to have Mrs. G. as part of our Rock Creek family! 💜

🏈💙 WHEN MR. G WAS A KID! 💙🏈

Meet Mr. G (Glasheen), one of our awesome 4th-grade teachers at Rock Creek Elementary! As one of the few men on our school staff, he brings a special kind of energy to our school, and we’re so glad he’s part of our Rock Creek family! 🙌

Back in the day, Mr. G’s favorite color was blue, his favorite school lunch was turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy (a classic comfort-food choice! 😋), and his favorite activity was playing football! 🏈

We wonder if his students can guess which of these childhood favorites he still loves today?!? 😉💙

Small Steps, BIG Progress at Rock Creek!

We're excited to celebrate the hard work happening in our Resource Program!

As we wrap up the first quarter, 29 students have already met or are making progress toward their individual learning goals!

From improving reading fluency and mastering math skills to strengthening communication, independence, and classroom success, our students are showing that consistent effort and individualized support make a difference.

Every student learns at their own pace, and every step forward is worth celebrating!

Way to go, Rock Creek Raptors! Keep up the amazing work!
