Tiger Day at Gurney!
Our youngest Tigers hit the field today for an unforgettable Tiger Day filled with games, music, and popsicles—you can practically smell summer in the air!
A big thank you to our neighbors for celebrating the sounds of the season with us. According to our expert panel (aka the kids), the music helped make this the best Tiger Day yet—10/10! Great job Mr. Cannon and all of the volunteers who made it possible!!🎉

🧠🐝 Spelling Stars in the Spotlight! 🐝🧠
Twenty brave 2nd and 3rd graders stepped up to the mic and into the spotlight for our school spelling bee! Spelling isn’t just about memorizing words—it builds vocabulary, reading confidence, and attention to detail, all essential building blocks for young learners.
This was no easy task, but each student challenged themselves, tried something new, and showed their Tiger Courage. 🐯💪 From cheering on their classmates to tackling tricky words under pressure, these students demonstrated the kind of focus and growth mindset we value every day in Chagrin Falls.
We’re so proud of every participant for their determination and fearlessness. Congratulations to our winner, Stella, and runner-up, Emily! 🎉👏 You inspire us all!

Monsters + Math = a geometric slice of fun in 7th grade!
In Mrs. Janson’s class, students took their understanding of 3D shapes to the next level with the “Monster Shape Slicers” project. They built three-dimensional paper solids, chose a slicing angle—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—and carefully cut their shapes to reveal 2D cross-sections. 🔍📐
Once the math was complete, the creativity kicked in! Each sliced shape transformed into a colorful, one-of-a-kind monster, complete with eyes, arms, and fun features—while still keeping the 2D geometry on full display.
The week wrapped up with a Monster Walkabout, where students predicted the shapes inside each creature and opened them up to check their guesses. It was a hands-on, minds-on kind of week—and a memorable way to explore geometry through art, play, and peer learning. 🧠🎉

Sometimes, personalized learning means stretching our writing skills and stepping outside our comfort zones—like entering a writing contest!
Congratulations to Isla and Emily, two of our talented Gurney students who earned first and second place out of more than 90 entries in the @PBSWesternReserve Coach Write Writing Contest! 🥇🥈
Mrs. Todaro challenged her students to take their creativity to the next level, and Isla and Emily rose to the occasion. Writing contests like these are a powerful way to deepen learning, encourage student voice, and help young writers build confidence and pride in their work.
Keep an eye on these young authors—we can’t wait to read what they write next! 🧡🖤

Welcome to concert season! We can't wait to see you there!
Our third graders just wrapped up reading Because of Winn-Dixie—and they brought the story to life in the most creative way! 📖🐾
To celebrate finishing the novel, students dressed up as their favorite characters, turning the classroom into a lively tribute to Opal, the preacher, Miss Franny, Gloria Dump, and of course, Winn-Dixie himself! Through this joyful experience, students deepened their connection to the story while building comprehension, empathy, and confidence—all key parts of growing as thoughtful readers and learners.
We love seeing reading spark imagination like this!

Our 5th graders took their science learning on the road with a visit to the Natural History Museum! 🌍🦕💫
From the moment they stepped inside, curiosity led the way. Students explored how Earth's tilt and orbit cause the seasons, made real-world connections to ecosystems and animal adaptations, and experienced the power of natural forces through interactive exhibits. Whether using microscopes to examine ancient specimens or stepping into newly renovated museum spaces, students were immersed in hands-on discovery that brought their classroom learning to life.
This experience supports our commitment to high-quality learning rooted in the science standards — sparking wonder, critical thinking, and meaningful understanding. 🌎🧠🔬

Our 8th graders have had an unforgettable week exploring Washington, D.C.! ❤️🤍💙
From the grounds of Arlington National Cemetery to the powerful memorials honoring Iwo Jima, MLK, FDR, and Thomas Jefferson, students have experienced history up close.
They’ve walked the grounds of Mount Vernon, visited the Pentagon Memorial, explored the American History Museum, and visited the U.S. Capitol.
Today, they’ll conclude their journey with visits to the Holocaust Museum and the National Archives, where they’ll see the original Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights, before heading home.
As a final moment of reflection, they’ll stop at the Flight 93 Memorial to honor the lives lost on 9/11.

Shoutout to Julia in Mrs. Peloszy’s class for taking charge of her learning and creating something amazing!
As part of her personalized learning path, Julia spent over two months working on an independent project planning a dream vacation for her family to Hawaii, Costa Rica, and Australia.
Through her work, she sharpened skills in multiplication, hyperlinking, researching travel platforms, and had fun exploring her favorite tech tool: GIFs!
Julia’s project is a shining example of how personalized learning empowers students to dive deep into their interests while building real-world academic and digital skills.
Way to go, Julia! You’ve inspired us all. Safe travels! ✈️🌺👏
