First-grade students recently visited the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust for a day of hands-on learning in nature! 🌿 They started with a Story Stroll along a trail, reading "Over and Under the Pond" while walking near the pond and woods. After the hike, students planted seeds in the greenhouse that would later be moved to the Pennypack Preserve. They also participated in a scavenger hunt in the learning garden to find six local bird species and spotted wildlife like hummingbirds, turkeys, toads, & deer. #UMProud
Mr. Latini’s 2nd grade class at UMPS wrapped up the year with their annual Poetry Café! 🌷 During National Poetry Month in April, students explored five types of poetry & practiced expressing their ideas in creative ways. They shared their original poems with families in a relaxed, café-style classroom setting. The event also included a student performance for their loved ones, & a slideshow of special memories from the school year. It was a great way to celebrate their hard work and growth! #UMProud

It's National Robotics Week, & our youngest Golden Bears at UMPS are getting a head start in the world of coding with Bee-Bots in their Technology special! 🐝 This hands-on activity introduces problem-solving, sequencing, & collaboration in a fun & engaging way.

UMPS celebrated Read Across America Week earlier this month with a "Let's GLOW Read" theme! They celebrated authors, illustrators, books, & of course, their Primary School Readers!
