Our 4th graders had an incredible day exploring North Carolina history right in our state’s capital! Students visited the Raleigh Science Museum, the Legislative Building, and the historic Capitol Building, where they learned more about how our state government works and the rich history that has shaped North Carolina.
From discovering fascinating exhibits to walking the halls where important decisions are made, the day was full of hands-on learning and memorable experiences. The beautiful sunshine made it even better, giving everyone the chance to enjoy Raleigh while soaking up some history along the way! 🌞
We’re so proud of our students for representing our school so well and for showing such curiosity and excitement throughout the trip!

Our 2nd grade students had an amazing time on their field trip to the Schiele Museum of Natural History! Throughout the day, students explored fascinating exhibits about wildlife, natural habitats, and science, bringing their classroom learning to life in such an exciting way. From observing animals to discovering new facts about the natural world, our students were fully engaged and curious every step of the way.
Experiences like this help spark a love for learning and give students the chance to see science beyond the classroom walls.
A special thank you to the Schiele Museum staff for welcoming our students and providing such a wonderful educational experience. We truly appreciate your hospitality and the opportunity for our students to learn and explore! 🚌🔬🌎

Ms. Yang’s kindergarten class had a Seuss-tastic time celebrating the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss! After reading the classic story Green Eggs and Ham, our curious kindergarteners decided to be brave like Sam-I-Am and give green eggs and “ham” a try. 💚
Mrs. King’s first graders combined creativity and math as they explored 2D shapes through art! Students used shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rectangles to design colorful pictures, helping them see how math is all around them.
By turning geometry into a hands-on art project, students were able to identify shapes, create new designs, and express their creativity. We love seeing learning come to life in such fun and engaging ways! Great job, Mrs. King’s class! 👏📐

We are so glad to have Mrs. Sharpe back at Shuford leading our music program! Her enthusiasm and engaging lessons make music class an exciting place for our students to learn, explore, and create. 🎵
Here, students had a great time building box banjos and exploring how sound works! As they played their instruments, they experimented with changing the tension of the strings to see what would happen. Would the pitch go higher or lower? How did the vibrations change? It was a fun, hands-on way to connect music and science while encouraging curiosity and creativity.
