📚➕ Math Masters at Work! ➕📚 Mrs. Davis’s class was busy putting their math skills to work today! 🧠✏️ Students practiced comparing and ordering numbers, using place value to determine which numbers are greater than or less than one another. From identifying the value of each digit to putting numbers in order from greatest to least and least to greatest, our Mustangs are building strong number sense! 🔢🐴💙 Way to go, mathematicians! Keep comparing, ordering, and learning! 👏✨ #MadisonMustangs #MathMasters #PlaceValue #ComparingNumbers #OrderingNumbers #LearningIsFun

Madison Elementary is excited to celebrate one of our newest Mustangs, Emily Carney, who has already made a BIG impact on our school family! 💙🐴

Emily was recently selected to receive Madison’s YOU ROCK designation! 🎸⭐

So, what exactly is YOU ROCK? 🤔

At Madison, YOU ROCK is a special way we recognize staff members who go above and beyond, make a positive difference, support their coworkers, and help make Madison Elementary a better place for our students and staff. It’s our way of saying, “We see you. We appreciate you. YOU ROCK!” 🙌💙

And Emily is certainly rocking it! 🎸 From jumping right in as a new member of our team to bringing positivity, dedication, and a willingness to help wherever needed, she has quickly become a valued part of the Madison family.

👏 Congratulations, Ms. Carney! We are so glad you’re a Mustang! 🐴💙

Keep rocking, Ms. Carney! 🎸⭐
YOU ROCK!

🔐 Mrs. Tucker's Tech Tip Tuesday

Creating Strong Passwords for Families

A strong password is one of the easiest ways to protect your family's information online. Encourage your child to use passwords that are long, unique, and difficult to guess. Avoid using birthdays, pet names, or common words.
✅ Use a mix of words, numbers, and symbols
✅ Use different passwords for different accounts
✅ Keep passwords private
A strong password is like a lock on your front door. Make sure yours is secure!

Where does your class rank on attendance?

Ms. Buckley's kindergarten class worked in pastels with ArtCart today.

📚🐴 MADISON MUSTANGS LOVE TO READ! 🐴📚

Madison Elementary School is proud to announce our participation in the Read Aloud WV program! 🎉📖

What is Read Aloud WV?
Read Aloud WV is a statewide program dedicated to helping children develop a love of reading by surrounding them with books, positive reading role models, and adults who share the joy of reading. Volunteer readers visit classrooms and read aloud to students, helping children see that reading can be FUN, exciting, and something to enjoy for a lifetime! ❤️📚

Research shows that motivation is an important first step in developing literacy skills, and Read Aloud WV works to motivate children to WANT to read. The program also helps provide access to books and creates more reader-friendly classrooms and communities.

🌟 WE NEED READERS! 🌟

Would you love to be part of a child's reading journey? We are looking for volunteer readers who are willing to share their love of books with our students. Classroom readers typically spend about 30 minutes to an hour each week reading aloud to students and modeling the joy of reading.

📝 Interested in becoming a reader?
A sign-up form is attached to this post! Complete the online application (using QR code or by entering readaloudwv.org/volunteer)

💻 Parents—there's another great way to get involved!
We encourage you to take the Read Aloud WV online training/orientation to learn more about becoming a reader and how you can help inspire our students to become lifelong readers.

Together, we can put books in their hands, reading on their minds, and a love of learning in their hearts! ❤️📚

Let's show our Mustangs that READING ROCKS! 🐴📖

🪨💙 Madison Mustangs Know Someone Who ROCKS! 💙🪨 Today, our Madison Mustangs had the special opportunity to honor our amazing librarian, Mrs. Tucker, with a rock from Wood County Schools’ “Your Rock” initiative! 🌟 The Your Rock initiative is all about recognizing the people who make a difference in the lives of others—those special people who are there to encourage, support, inspire, and help us grow. Sometimes, a simple gesture of appreciation can mean so much! ❤️ Our admin team chose to recognize Mrs. Tucker because she is truly someone who ROCKS! 📚🪨 She creates a welcoming space where students can discover new stories, explore new ideas, and fall in love with reading. Her kindness and love for our students make our school library a special place. On top of all this, Mrs. Tucker helps parents with using the Rooms app, makes sure all students have iPads and troubleshoots technology issues for staff. Thank you, Mrs. Tucker, for being a rock for our Madison Mustangs! We appreciate everything you do! 🐎💙 Mrs. Tucker—you ROCK! 🪨🎉 #MadisonMustangs #YourRock #WoodCountySchools #LibrariansRock #MustangPride #MadisonElementary #SomeoneWhoRocks

🚀🎢 Fourth Grade is on a ROLL at Madison Elementary! 🎢🚀 Our fourth graders were putting energy and motion into action today during science! 🔬⚡ Students worked in groups using simple materials like binder clips, rubber bands, and paper to create their very own fast and fun roller coaster! 🎢 They designed a brand-new ride they proudly named the “Twist-O-Matic”! 🤩 Along the way, students discovered that when they twist the rubber band, it stores potential (stored) energy—and when they let it go…WATCH OUT! The energy turns into motion! 💨 Who knew science could be this much fun?! We’re loving these hands-on learning experiences at Madison! 💙🐎 #MadisonMustangs #FourthGrade #ScienceInAction #EnergyAndMotion #HandsOnLearning #TwistOMatic
