The skies were clear and it was a beautiful day for conversations, sliding, basketball, swinging, and picking up trash! Yay for the ☀️!
Toad races were so much fun today! Congrats to our Toad Race Winners! Kiyron will get to go to Toad Suck to race for an apple ipad for him and his teacher!
The second and final week of our coin competition has begun! Remember pennies and bills ADD to point totals, and silver coins SUBTRACT from point totals. Bring your money tomorrow to help your team or sabatoge another team! We ALL win when all proceeds go toward our FANTASTIC end-of-year event, May Madness!
During Viking Day, 4th graders went on a nature scavenger hunt and then made some unique creations with what they found!
The Viking Day challenge was to build a 6 inch tall structure from paper strong enough to hold one book. These second graders more than met the challenge!
It's looking like it will be a great night to pick up a pizza for dinner and support our school!
On this rainy morning, some fourth graders decided to have a virtual campfire and flashlight read.
A few weeks ago Kindergartners learned how to make solar ovens by reading a book. Yesterday, they sequenced the steps by referencing the text, and then had to reason with new materials how to make their own with 4th grade helpers. Made the teachers do some thinking, too! #sailing2success
Second graders had a fun day of hands-on learning at the Farm Roundup! #sailing2success
Today we celebrated Vann's Spring 2024 interns with a "new teacher shower." Mentor teachers provided snacks, and the staff stuffed baskets of teacher essentials for each intern. Ms. Perry, Ms. Mingione, Ms. Perkins, Coach Petroff, and Ms. Bankhead have served the students of Vann well this semester, and we wish them the best in their teaching careers!
Congratulations to our Employee of the Year and Teacher of the year! Mrs. Hart and Ms. Etter are two amazing people that we have working at Marguerite Vann and well deserving of this honor!
“Mrs. Coles class painted with shaving cream today!”

Marguerite Vann will celebrate National Schwa Day on Tuesday, April 9! Wear your pajamas and be unstressed all day! We will also enjoy some activities in class to celebrate the day!
Schwa (ə) is a sound that can take the place of any vowel. It makes two kinds of relaxed sounds (/ŭ/ or /ĭ/) and is in the unstressed syllable of a word. Schwa makes our speech sound more natural and is the most common vowel sound in English.
The Hats Musical was a big hit! Thank you to Mr, Dooley, the 1st/2nd grade teachers, and all the families that came out to support our students!
Today we celebrate our amazing Library Media Specialist, Ms. Etter! She's creative, energetic, and a knowledgable resource for students and teachers alike. She goes above and beyond to contribute to Vann in so many unique ways and we are grateful she's a part of our team! Thank you, Ms. Etter, for all you do!
