Honoring Native American Heritage Through Play!
Harambee Elementary hosted Nashke Games with founders Tony Drews and Mindy Meyers. Students explored Ojibwe language and culture through storytelling and play.
"It was incredible to see how quickly the kids were using Ojibwe words and to see the big smiles and positive energy," said Environmental Education Specialist Jenny Eckman.
Pumpkin Day Fun! 🍁
Kindergarten had a blast on Pumpkin Day! Students explored real pumpkins, made predictions, and guessed whether each pumpkin had more or less than 100 seeds. There were big guesses, tiny seeds, messy hands, and tons of excitement. Learning + pumpkins = the perfect fall day! 🍂✨
Supporting Our Families
We know the government shutdown brings uncertainty, especially about SNAP and food access. All students still receive free meals, and our Food Resources page links families to trusted local assistance. We’ll update it regularly—please reach out if needed.
Nature Play Adventures 🌱
Kindergarteners explored the forest at Nature Play while learning about science 🔬, building social skills 🤝, and having tons of fun! 🌳🪺
Meet Our Scaly Friend 🐍
Third graders had an exciting day meeting our newest science room member—a curious corn snake! 🐍🤩 Students were full of questions ❓💡 and wonder 🌟 as they learned about its habitat 🌿, diet 🍽️, and important role in nature 🌎.
Recognizing Native American Heritage Month
This Native American Heritage Month, we honor that Roseville Area Schools stands on the ancestral lands of the Oceti Sakowin (Dakota) people—and we celebrate the vibrant Indigenous cultures that continue to enrich our community today.
Reading While We Wait 📚
Teacher Moua makes every moment count! 🚌 Waiting for the bus is the perfect time to share a story 📖 and connect with students. ❤️
