In this computer CAMP rotation, Kindergarten has continued to practice logging into the computer using their username and password. They have practiced learning where the letters are located on the keyboard. They have also learned about tabs and how to close them. First graders are completing their "All About Me" infographic. Here are a few examples of their work. Second graders are continuing to work on their "All About Me" Google slide presentation. They have learned to insert and crop images, edit the fonts, background, slide transition and animation.

Happy Custodians' Day to the best of the best! ULPS is blessed with a great group of custodians. They are the quiet heroes of the school. They are the first to arrive each day to make sure our classrooms and hallways are spick and span before school begins. They clean up messes that no one else dares to touch and they are cheerleaders for our students, establishing positive relationships across the school. We are so thankful for Mr. Herb, Mrs. Paula, Mrs. Monica, Mrs. Ann, Mrs. Shirley, Mrs. Debra, Mr. Bobby, Mr. Jo, and Mr. William!
A special thank you to Thomaston Hospice for treating our custodians to a wonderful Big Chic lunch today.
Check out Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Dawson's 2nd grade classes working on a lesson called "Planning a Pizza Party".
Homecoming week excitement is in the air at ULPS! Today there were lots of beach lovers walking the halls! #UL

ULPS greatly appreciates the support and generosity of the Spade and Trowel Garden Club, whose contributions will have a lasting impact on our school community.

To celebrate Johnny Appleseed’s birthday, students had a fun-filled week learning all about the life cycle of an apple. They participated in a STEM challenge where they worked together to build apple trees using paper towel rolls, popsicle sticks, and pom poms, showcasing their creativity and engineering skills. The students also completed a life cycle of an apple sequencing puzzle, reinforcing their understanding of the apple’s growth stages. The highlight of the day was tasting the delicious apples, thoughtfully prepared by our wonderful cafeteria staff, which made the celebration even sweeter.
