Cub Chronicles

We're having an absolutely fantastic first month of school here at Frank L. Stanton Elementary! Our classrooms are buzzing with excitement as students settle in, make new friends, and dive into fun activities.

From engaging stories to creative art projects, every moment has been filled with joy and learning. It's wonderful to see the enthusiasm and curiosity of our students as they embark on this new school year.

I look forward to many more days of exploration, growth, and fun. **Full Steam Ahead!**

I'm excited to announce that Ms. Fudge's 1st Grade Class was the first to experience a lesson in our brand-new media center this week. The students are eager to explore the innovative space, which promises to enhance their learning through state-of-the-art technology and resources.

Be on the lookout for the flexible media center schedule via email!

The artist in this story encourages each person to imagine what might be behind each door. The front of the door should give you an idea of what is behind each door. What did you imagine to be behind the doors? What should a door that represents the story "Say My Name" look like?

Students will use mixed-media materials to create a door to represent the story "Say My Name". This activity takes 2 class periods.

Say My Name

By Joanna Ho and Khoa Le

Names reveal generational ties and histories, weaving an intricate tale of the past. Names—and correctly saying them—are important. Each one carries the hopes, dreams, and traditions of those that came before us. Six captivating kids of Chinese, Tongan, Persian, Diné, Mexican, and Ghanaian descent proudly celebrate their names, languages, and cultures. This lyrical story shows how saying a person’s name is the only way we can truly know another.

The Atlanta Hawks Check It Out Reading Challenge has officially started and runs until September 1.
