Snyder Primary School

Mrs. Leija's Dual-language students paired up to read, reflect, and write about the contributions Martin Luther King Jr. made to our society. In the dual language program, students often work in pairs, each using a different colored pencil to show their work and formulate responses in both English and Spanish.

Mrs. Arellano and her kindergarten class rang in the New Year and the new semester yesterday! We hope everyone had a great first day back at school!

We hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday season! Staff, we will see you on Monday, January 8th and students, we will see you on Tuesday, January 9th!

💛 The first grade classes of Mrs.Thamez and Mrs. Ceballos made thank you cards for the cafeteria staff to show their appreciation. They are so thankful for their hard work, dedication, and kindness!

With Christmas falling on a Monday this year, we know it gives little time for staff and families to travel and prepare for the holiday. I’ve spoken with board members and principals, and we’ve determined our Friday activities can be shifted to accommodate a little extra time off. Therefore, schools will dismiss early on Friday, December 22, 2023.

I want to thank our staff and students for their work this fall semester, and I look forward to an even better Spring. We still have important work to do in school. Let’s finish the year strong: be present daily and make the most of every moment.

In the spirit of giving, students in Mrs. Greene and Ms. Herrera’s 2nd grade class collected food for the Scurry County Food Cupboard and made a special trip to deliver it this morning. These students collected 210 pounds of food for our community. They learned an invaluable life lesson: even the smallest donation can make a huge difference in the lives of others in our community.

Our primary, intermediate, and junior high Academic UIL teams compete today! Please join us in wishing them all the best. We know they will represent Snyder well!

2nd Grade families, please join us for Donuts with Grownups! Tuesday, December 5th 7:20-7:50 am Enjoy donuts, refreshments, and conversation in your child's classroom. Check ParentSquare for details.

🎅 What could possibly be better than Santa Claus coming to town? Santa Bailey!

Mrs. McGinnis and Mrs. Hough’s 2nd-grade classes visited Frontier Texas in Abilene. They enjoyed learning about area history and were able to view the hide of the white buffalo that was killed near Snyder. #snydertigers

Second graders turned ordinary objects and shapes into extraordinary artwork through stamping! This is a fun and inexpensive project you can do with your kids at home, too!

1. Gather a variety of objects of different shapes and sizes.
2. Dip the object into the paint of your choice, covering the bottom evenly.
3. Press the object onto a piece of paper, fabric, or other surface, using gentle pressure to create the stamp.
4. Repeat the process with different colors and objects to create patterns and designs.

Allow the artwork to dry completely before displaying or using it in other projects. #arteducation #snydertigers

These students traveled to Abilene and saw a piece of Snyder's history! During a field trip to Frontier Texas, this group of second graders were among the first to see the new White Buffalo exhibit donated by a Snyder family ranch. Frontier Texas allows visitors to relive the Old West through the magic of state-of-the-art technology. Students always enjoy this field trip that takes them back through history!

Please join us in congratulating our 2023-2024 Snyder Primary campus ambassadors!

🪐 Mrs. Trawick's 1st-grade classes have been learning about the Solar System. On Friday, they got to create the moon phases using an Oreo! Learning never tasted so good!

Mrs. Leija's and Mrs. Hinojos's second-grade dual language classes honored their loved ones and celebrated Dia de los Muertos yesterday. The goals of the dual-language program are to gain an understanding of the English and Spanish languages and their cultures. Day of the Dead is celebrated on November first and second. It is a holiday celebrated in Mexico and other Latin American countries to honor their loved ones who have passed away. People decorate alters with their loved ones' photos, flowers, candles, and belongings. It is a happy celebration of the lives they have lived and to remember them.
