Fueling fun and fitness! 💪🍎 On Fitness Friday, our students learned how the foods we eat give us energy to move, play, and grow stronger while enjoying a game together in PE.

💛 Wear Yellow Day! 💛

Join us on Monday, September 22 as we wear yellow to show our support for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Let’s come together to raise awareness and honor the brave children and families impacted. 💛✨

Mrs. Castro's class had a special treat last week—a lunch bunch with their teacher! 🥪🍎 Such a fun way to build connections and share smiles during the school day. 💙

"Exploring, discovering, creating 🎨🔍"

Mrs. Rotondo's class had fun celebrating International Dot Day and learning about Johnny Appleseed.

In PE this week, 4th Grade students are connecting what they’re learning in ELA/Wit and Wisdom to movement! Through fun fitness stations, they explored how the heart works and learned about target heart rate—the ‘just right’ zone where their heart is getting stronger without working too hard. What an awesome way to start the school year with teamwork, energy, and lots of smiles!

Starting the year with teamwork, laughter, and fun! Students in all grades are learning and growing together through collaborative games in Physical Education!

Eagles gear, big smiles, and school spirit everywhere ! We are FLYING high for the EAGLES! 🦅E-A-G-L-E-S… EAGLES! 💚— Go Birds! 🏈✨

Mr. Peabody’s Apples 🪥📖

This week, some 4th grade students learned how powerful their words can be. Just like in the story, they tried putting toothpaste back in the tube with a toothpick — nearly impossible! A great reminder that once words are said, they can’t always be taken back. 💬❤️

🍉 Watermelon Math Fun!

Our 4th grade students had a blast enjoying juicy watermelon slices and turning math time into snack time! 🍉✨
They used the seeds for some hands-on Place Value practice — tasty AND educational!

Tomorrow is Eagles Green Spirit Day at Hancock! 🦅💚 Rock your green and show your Philly pride — let’s go, Birds! #FlyEaglesFly #Hancock

📸 Say Cheese! Picture Day is Coming!

We can’t wait to see all those bright, smiling faces! 😄
