Our second graders absolutely shined today as they presented their “Majestic Mountains” slides to an audience of eighth graders! 🏔️✨ Over the past few weeks, they’ve been working hard to build their confidence, practice their presentation skills, and learn how to thoughtfully answer questions—and today, they truly rocked it! From clear speaking voices to impressive knowledge about mountains around the US, they showed just how much they’ve grown. A huge thank you to our amazing eighth graders for being such a supportive and engaged audience. Your thoughtful questions and encouragement made this experience even more special for our younger learners. ❤️🤍💙

Park your "Suffix Car" in the right parking lot…1st graders "drove" their "cars" to the parking lot with the right sound for the suffix -ed.
Then, they worked cooperatively, in groups, to find all the words with the suffix -ed in their assigned story!
Well done, 1st graders!

Check out our new Giant Octoplay tiles from Scholastic book fair points! 🤩 Kids are loving them at recess — building, creating, and practicing cooperation and teamwork. It’s amazing to watch their problem-solving and friendship skills grow as they stack, connect, and create together. What would your students build with these? Share ideas! 🧩✨ #Cooperation #Teamwork #SGES #Recess @sges_pto

Tiny beaks, big memories! 🐣✨ We’ve loved every moment watching our chicks hatch and learn — from their first wobbly steps to peeping for treats. Soon they’ll head to the farm and we’ll miss them so much. 💛🐥 #sges #chicksofinstagram #classroomlife #farmbound #springhatching

Today, our 2nd grade readers partnered up to dive into their chosen books, helping one another answer comprehension questions along the way. From sharing ideas to explaining their thinking, each student played a role in building understanding—not just for themselves, but for their peers too.
The conversations were thoughtful, the teamwork was inspiring, and the confidence growing in each child was incredible to see. 💬💡
Learning is always better together 💛 #Teamwork #YoungReaders #SecondGradeSuccess

Hooked from the first dribble 😍🏀 Massive thanks to @sges_pto for bringing the incredible @coreythedribbler to our school — his moves left everyone speechless! His ball handling was amazing and his message was inspiring! It was a performance we won’t forget. Which move would you try first? 🤔👇 #BasketballMagic #SchoolVisit #Inspiration #CommunityLove #CoreyTheDribbler @iamthedribbler

Our 2nd graders took learning to new heights with their “Word Paper Parachute” challenge! 🪂✨
Working in a team,, students designed and assembled a large paper parachute, making sure it stayed strong and steady. Their mission? To carefully guide a ball to a chosen word, keep it balanced, and then answer a question about that word.
Through teamwork, communication, and problem-solving, they rose to the challenge—and succeeded! It was amazing to see their collaboration, creativity, and determination in action.
Way to go, 2nd grade! 💪📚 #SGES @embodiedlearning

Our 7th grade science class has been studying ecosystems and biodiversity. Working together with the Sea Girt Conservancy, our students made milkweed seed bombs and dispersed them in Edgemere Park to help attract pollinators to the park. Can't wait to see them grow! We love our Sea Girt community! 🩷 @seagirtconservancy
