It was a "buggy" day at Monroe Elementary!

Our 3rd and 4th graders had a blast visiting The Ohio State University BUGmobile. Students got hands-on with live insects and learned all about the amazing world of entomology! 🐜🔬

Happy Administrative Assistant Day to the very best, Mrs. Vaughn! 🎉
Monroe Elementary is so lucky to have you supporting our students, staff, and families each and every day. Your hard work, kindness, and dedication do not go unnoticed—we appreciate you more than words can say! 💙

Monroe Elementary's 2nd grade students did an amazing job sharing what they have learned this year in music class. It was songs all about friendships last night at their music performance.

On March 27th, Monroe Elementary and our PTO welcomed two amazing authors, Marie Weller and Paula Vertikoff, creators of the Cranium Critters series. Our students participated in an engaging presentation focused on understanding their feelings and learning strategies to manage them.

☀️📚 Today was a perfect day for our kindergarten students! They enjoyed the warm weather while taking their reading time outside. There’s nothing better than fresh air, sunshine, and a good book! 🌿💛

Our kindergarten students had a blast today at the Air Force Museum today.

Monroe Elementary had an amazing author visit today! Marie Weller and Paula Vertikoff, authors of the Cranium Critters series, spent time sharing their knowledge and passion with our students. Their presentation was engaging and interactive, incorporating activities that helped students explore and express their feelings through the picture books they shared. It was a meaningful and memorable experience for everyone involved!

Monroe’s fourth grade students had a blast on their field trip today to United Skates of America! This exciting experience included a STEM lesson focused on force, motion, and energy transfer, giving students a hands-on opportunity to connect science concepts to real-world applications. The trip ended on a fun note with roller skating, where students were able to put those concepts into action while enjoying time with their classmates.

Today our Monroe 4th grade girls in the ROX program had an exciting lunchtime learning experience!

We were thrilled to welcome Shelly Roach, Animal Registrar, and Katie Flesch, Assistant Animal Registrar, from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. They shared all about their careers working behind the scenes at the zoo and what it takes to care for and keep track of the animals.

Our girls were highly engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and loved learning about the many different career paths available in the animal world. 🐾

One fun fact they learned? Golden retrievers actually work alongside cheetah cubs at the zoo to help build their confidence as they grow. How amazing is that?

What a wonderful opportunity to connect career exploration with real-world experiences!

Third graders are thinking about their futures! ✨

During library guidance lessons with Ms. Allen, students took a career interest survey and then teamed up to create posters showcasing different job fields. We loved seeing their collaboration and creativity as they explored all the possibilities ahead of them! 💡🎨

What a fun day celebrating the 100th Day of School! Our students took part in activities all centered around the number 100 and had an amazing time learning, laughing, and celebrating together. We love making learning fun at Monroe!
