🎲✨ What a wonderful way to wrap up the 5th Graders year at Smithville Elementary!

Our 5th Grade Parent Involvement Event brought families together for a fun-filled Board Game Family Day, and it was truly a success! Parents and students had the chance to sit side-by-side, laugh, compete, and most importantly...connect.

Through games, our students showed off so much more than just their competitive spirit. We saw critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and great sportsmanship in action. It was amazing to watch students guide their parents through strategies, explain rules, and demonstrate the skills they’ve been building all year.

This event was a perfect reminder that learning doesn’t just happen in textbooks...it happens through experiences, conversations, and quality time together. Thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make this day so special! ❤️

Our first graders had a great time learning about the importance of trees for our environment this week. Each class planted a tree around the Elementary School and Red Brick building.  We greatly appreciate our partners, Schneider Electric, who donated the trees and helped with the planting.

Throughout the last few weeks of school, SES students will have the opportunity to consider their "Future Me" through career discussions in their classrooms. To celebrate these discussions, we will have a "Future Me" dress up day. See the attached flyer for details.

Today at Smithville Elementary, our 2nd graders had an idiom parade and it was as fun as it sounds.

For those who might not know, an idiom is a phrase that doesn’t literally mean what it says...like “it’s raining cats and dogs” or “hold your horses.” They’re expressions we use all the time, even if they don’t make perfect sense word-for-word.

Watching kids bring these to life by dressing up, acting them out, and really getting it was such a reminder that learning sticks best when it’s hands-on and fun.

Smithville ISD had a lot to celebrate this week as Smithville Elementary student Zelda Perez took center stage at the Hello World Student Demo Day, proudly showcasing the project she built within the Hello World platform!

Zelda's participation is the result of an exciting partnership formed back in October 2025, when SISD teamed up with Hello World and EdgeConneX to bring AI literacy opportunities directly to our students. That investment in our kids is already paying off — and Zelda is proof of what's possible when students are given the tools and encouragement to explore the world of technology.

Thanks to Zelda's family for allowing her participation, and Mrs. Sandy Kadlecek for her oversight and instruction!
