We’re so proud of these inspiring Wildcats! 🐾💜
Second graders are currently learning about strategies to solve addition problems, and we know that learning combinations of 10 can help us! Fishing for 10 is a fun way to practice those combinations.
Ask your second grader what the combinations of 10 are!
Our 2nd graders have been exploring Ancient Greece in their CKLA unit! After reading all about the two famous city-states, Athens and Sparta, students used what they learned to write opinion pieces about where they’d rather live.
🎭 Athens: A place for learning, art, and democracy!
🛡️ Sparta: Known for strength, discipline, and bravery!
Students backed up their opinions with facts from their reading - just like real historians and writers. 💬🧠
Here are some pictures from Mrs. Goldsborough's class. We’re so proud of our Wildcats for thinking deeply, writing clearly, and sharing their voices! 🐾✨
This is sure to be a fun read!

🌞 Good Morning, Wildcats! 🌞
Every morning, our Wildcats begin with Morning Meeting 🐾—a time to build community, connect, and get ready for a great day of learning.
👋 Greeting – saying hello and making sure everyone feels seen
💬 Sharing – listening and learning from one another
🎲 Activity – having fun and working together
📜 Morning Message – focusing on the day ahead
At Shepherdstown, every student begins the day together because belonging and connection come first. 💙🐾
Students can start their morning at Shep with a free grab-and-go breakfast to enjoy in their classrooms. After that, they ease into the day with soft start games and activities. Smiles and laughter make every day a great start! 🐾
