Yowell Elementary is hosting a Kindergarten Orientation for students starting kindergarten in the 2024-2025 school year on Wednesday, April 24 from 5 to 6 PM. We look forward to meeting our new students!
Our very own Amish Mishra and Parker Pratt represented Culpeper County at the Regional Math 24 competition last night! Both Parker and Amish continued on to semi-finals and Anish placed 2nd place! Culpeper County had the most students from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades advance to semi- finals! Way to represent!
Our Pre-K students are currently in the middle of their Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle Study. After learning about what litter is, and why is can be harmful to the Earth, Mrs. Frack’s class went on a litter walk around the school to try and help clean up the Earth. They were so excited to be helpers with experience, and they learned that even though they are little kids, they can help make a big difference in our world!
Mrs. Woods' 2nd grade class is learning geometry in math. They’re building rectangular prisms and cubes while differentiating between solid and plane shapes.
4th grade is having “sew much fun” finishing up their ugly dolls this week!
If you’ve had a fifth grader at Yowell before, you know how much we enjoy honoring our outgoing fifth graders and celebrating all of their accomplishments. Each year we do this by creating a slideshow that includes one baby or toddler picture of each fifth grader. We would love your help in getting this project started. Please send in a baby/ toddler picture of your child for this presentation by April 19th. Any pictures received after this date may not be included in the slideshow.
There are two ways that you can share your child’s baby picture.
(Preferred Method) Email the picture to Mrs. Dugger, our school ITRT, at kdugger@ccpsweb.org. Please include your child's name and their teacher’s name in the email and use “5th grade baby picture” as the subject. You can use your smartphone to snap a picture of a picture. No need to get fancy.
You can send in the actual baby picture so it can be scanned. Please label the back with your child’s name and their teacher’s name. These will be returned to your child as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Dugger at kdugger@ccpsweb.org.
Mrs. Yost's class participated in an activity today where they had to save the school from the evils of Mr. Magnetic. Thanks to their skills they were able to release the magic paperclip just in time using what they know about magnetism. Way to go Mrs. Yost's class.
