Freeland Elementary School

After reading the book, Wild Robot, in class, fifth graders celebrated by taking a field trip to watch the movie production at the theater. Students have made a variety of connections to reading, technology, and science concepts from the classroom as well as the importance of teamwork and friendship. What a fun field trip to enrich the love of reading!

The LC And ES thank everyone for all of the donations so far!

Attention LC and ES families! Our LC/ES Fall PTO fundraiser is underway and we are 35% of the way to our goal, and we are so close to having our PJ Day! We have 181 students registered so far. This fundraiser will continue to support field trips for our students, Reading Month activities, family events, playground equipment and much more! We are working on our goal of earning money from all 50 states, we are almost halfway there already. Make sure to register your child today, if you haven't done so already, and help us reach our goal! https://give.mybooster.com/freeland-elementary-school ** If we hit our goal of $25,000, Mrs. Lopez and Mrs. McKenna are going to get pied in the face! ** At the conclusion of the fundraiser on October 18, all students will get to participate in a Fun Run and earn a very special Falcon Fun Run medal 🏅

Our 5th and 6th students and staff nailed Teacher/Student Swap Day on Wednesday! Check out these great outfits!

The second graders really showed off their crazy socks on Monday!

After learning about Johnny Appleseed and his importance to Michigan's apple crop, and also learning about the state flower, the Apple Blossom, Mrs. Trainor's 3rd graders, made homemade applesauce. The apples were picked straight from Mrs. Wilder's trees. The students thought it was DELICIOUS!

A special thank you to Consumers Energy for visiting our 4th grade classrooms last week! The presentation fit perfectly with their current science unit, learning about energy and electricity.

ES and LC Families! Don't forget tomorrow kicks off our Homecoming Spirit Week. Monday is Crazy Sock Day!

Elementary students in Mrs. Eickhoff’s classroom are working on classifying animals based on characteristics that they have in common during their Animals, Habitats & Ecosystems unit. They had so much fun working together!

Miss Swafford's 2nd graders LOVE when Blue, one of our therapy dogs comes to visit!

Mr. Eaton's 4th grade science classes took advantage of the extended summer weather and built electrical systems outside with solar panels!

LC and FES, CHECK IT OUT! Freeland Homecoming is next week and we are going to have some fun with a spirit week. Thank you to our 6th grade Student Leadership Group for making our flyers!

Students in Mrs. Dake's 5th grade Social Studies classes observed Constitution Day, September 17th. The kids worked in teams to complete a Constitution scavenger hunt. Thank you to the Freeland Lions Club for donating the Liberty Books which added to the learning of the Constitution!

FES would like to take this opportunity to spotlight our 5th grade Language Arts teacher, Miss Cereske!

The elementary students had a lot of FUN supporting Clash for a Cure last Friday!

Congratulations to Mrs. Lambert, special education teacher at Freeland Elementary!

It was another great week at FCSD Summer Camp! Our 6th-8th graders were able to take advantage of some of the greatness that our Tri-Cities has to offer. They visited Delta College to see everything about their campus, and took a trip to the Zilwaukee Bridge. The students learned about what they need for the bridge, how it was constructed, challenges they faced during construction, and what it takes to maintain it. They even got to tour the inside of the bridge to see how it was built from the inside out! The group covered about 3/4 mile inside the bridge to the halfway point. What a great experience for our students (and you can see the staff had a little fun too!).

Summer Camp for our 6-8th graders kicked off this week, and they had a great time! They got to walk to Memorial Park and do some geocaching. The students learned about lines of latitude, longitude, cardinal directions, measurement and geometry. On Thursday, they took a trip to SVSU to tour the campus! It was a great first week and everyone is looking forward to the rest of camp.

Freeland Elementary School sends a special thank you to all of the supporters for our Class of 2030! The t-shirts were wonderful as the 6th graders finished out so many of their end of the year activities!

Our 3rd and 4th grade Ukulele Club had their final performance earlier this week! Their smiles say it all, and we are so proud of them. Thank you Miss Deschaine for everything you did for our students!
