Learning looks a little different in every classroom. 💛

Across UES, our learners are listening, wondering, discussing, practicing, questioning, and growing together. From our youngest Univees to our older learners, there is so much happening inside these classrooms every single day.

Just a few snapshots of learners at work throughout our building. 🌎📚✨

🏆✨ The Golden Univee goes to… Mrs. Hemmerlein’s third grade class!

The Golden Univee is awarded each week to a class that does an outstanding job showing H.E.A.R.T. during Specials — being Honest, Empathetic, Accountable, Ready, and Thinkers.

Mrs. Hemmerlein’s class earned this week’s honor, along with the Golden Univee trophy and classroom banner! 💛

Kindergarten has the beat! 🥁🎶

Mrs. Grossman’s kindergarteners made their own tambourines and celebrated with a sing-and-dance-along.

Safe to say… they understood the assignment. 💃🕺

❤️📬 You’ve Got H.E.A.R.T.!

Our first round of You’ve Got H.E.A.R.T. postcards is headed to mailboxes!

These Univees were nominated by a UES staff member after being spotted showing all five of our H.E.A.R.T. expectations — Honest, Empathetic, Accountable, Ready, and Thinkers.

And we think that deserves to be celebrated! 🎉

Each student gets to celebrate with the staff member who nominated them, receives a positive phone call home, AND gets a special You’ve Got H.E.A.R.T. postcard mailed home. 💌

We’re pretty proud of these Univees. Keep showing H.E.A.R.T. — you never know who might notice! ❤️🌎

🎶 Can you keep the beat?

Our littlest Univees sure can! ❤️🥁

Pre-K students were moving, listening, and keeping the beat during music — and having a whole lot of fun while they did it!

📚☀️ Library looks a little different out here!

Our sixth graders took advantage of the sunshine and enjoyed library time in one of UES’s newly spruced-up courtyards today.

These tucked-away spaces are such a special part of our building, and we love seeing them become outdoor learning spaces for our Univees. ❤️🌿

🏛️ Welcome to the museum!

The exhibits in Mrs. Lucas’s second grade class seem perfectly normal… until the museum guard turns around. 👀😂

A little movement, a lot of concentration, and some VERY convincing statues!

Just another day of learning, building connections and having fun at UES. ❤️
