Freeland Elementary and Learning Center kicked off March is Reading Month with a special visitor! We are "Swinging into Reading," and the students are excited for various activities planned throughout the month. A special thank you to the Great Lakes Loons for letting us borrow Lou E. Loon for a little bit this morning to surprise our students!
Attention Elementary Families!
Recently, our 5th grade students traveled to Flint to visit both the Longway Planetarium and Sloan Museum. This was made possible by the support of our Freeland PTO who generously supported our fifth graders by paying for their admission to both venues. During their visit, students learned about the life cycle of stars during the planetarium presentation and then traveled to Sloan Museum’s Science Discovery Zone, Historical Galleries and makerspace. It was a fun filled, hands-on learning experience that students came away from still discussing on the bus.
We are hoping that our elementary students brought the Lions good luck today with their Blue Day last Friday! Go LIONS!
Congratulations to Mrs. Wirsing, our 6th grade EDGE Teacher!

An opportunity for our 6th graders!

Happy New Year from FES! Our second graders have kicked off the new year by doing some fun activities in their classrooms. We are ready for 2024!
Happy Holidays from the Elementary School!
Our students enjoyed their last day before break with caroling from the 6th grade band, a compliment "snow ball" fight in 2nd grade, pancake breakfasts, and so much more! We will see everyone back to school on January 3, 2024.
Over the last month the 6th grade students have been creating games to complete their Cardboard Carnival. The games were tested out this week by all of our 2nd-5th grade students! Great job 6th graders, everyone had a BLAST!
Our PALSS groups at the elementary school got to have their holiday celebration last Friday. They had pizza and desserts, listened to music and enjoyed good company!
Thank you to the Freeland Biggby for donating coffee for our elementary staff this morning. It was greatly appreciated and definitely made our Monday even merrier!
Mrs. Quast's 3rd graders had an "Ice Day." After they finished their "How to Build a Snowman" writing, they got to test out their directions by building their own creations!
On Wednesday, players from the Saginaw Spirit joined our 5th and 6th graders in PE. They played floor hockey with students and talked about their experiences!
It was a great time! Thank you to the players for spending time with our students, it was greatly appreciated.
We are so proud of this amazing group of 6th graders for presenting at the FCSD School Board meeting this evening. They worked hard, collaborated and knocked the presentation out of the park!

This week's FCSD staff spotlight is Mr. Wildey, our 5th grade language arts teacher!
