🎨✨ Creative Minds in Action! ✨🎨
On March 30th, our youngest Vienna Terrapins in PreK 3, PreK 4, and Kindergarten enjoyed a wonderful arts-based assembly in the cafeteria hosted by Arts for Learning Maryland!
We were excited to welcome teaching artist Ms. Robin Neveu Brown, who led an engaging and interactive performance that sparked creativity and imagination in our students. 🌟
The fun didn’t stop there—Ms. Brown also worked closely with each class during follow-up workshops, giving our students a hands-on opportunity to explore the arts, express themselves, and build their creative confidence. 🎭🎶
💚 We are incredibly grateful to Mrs. Connar Winn, our Community School Social Worker, for her dedication in organizing such a meaningful and enriching experience for our students!
📸 A special shoutout to Ms. Casey O'Bier, Dorchester County Public Schools Public Relations and Communications Specialist, for beautifully capturing these unforgettable moments.
🎭 We also extend our sincere appreciation to Arts for Learning Maryland and Robin Neveu Brown for inspiring our Vienna Terrapins through the power of the arts. Your impact made this experience truly memorable!

🔬🐢 Terrapin Scientists in Action! 🐢🔬
Our 2nd grade students from Mrs. Carroll’s and Mrs. Thomas’ classes recently had an exciting adventure at the Maryland Science Center in Baltimore! From hands-on exhibits to interactive learning, our Terrapins explored the wonders of science in a fun and engaging way.
One of the highlights of the trip was the IMAX theater where students learned all about beavers—including the adorable sounds they make! 🦫🎥 They also discovered how important beaver dams are in their habitat. These amazing animals build dams that help create ponds, provide homes for wildlife, and even protect the environment by slowing down water and reducing flooding. 🌿💧
A huge thank you to Mrs. Carroll for organizing such a memorable and educational field trip and to all of the family chaperones who were learners, too. Our Vienna Terrapins had an unforgettable day full of discovery, curiosity, and fun! 💚✨#withJOY

🐔🍞 PreK 4 Fun with The Little Red Hen! 🧈
Mrs. Sherri Todd, our PreK 4 teacher, along with Mrs. Jodi Condon, our PreK 4 instructional assistant, brought the story The Little Red Hen to life in their classroom! 📚✨
Students had a wonderful time acting out the story and helping retell what happened. They learned how hard the hen worked and had great conversations about the importance of helping others and working together. 🤝
To make the experience even more special, the hen “visited” the classroom and surprised everyone with a loaf of bread! The students worked together to make butter to enjoy with their bread—what a delicious way to see how teamwork and hard work pay off! 🐔🍞🧈

Vienna Elementary students had an amazing time during a special assembly with Mr. Rob Thomas from Didgeridoo Down Under! His interactive show, “Protect the Planet,” combined music, culture, and an important message about taking care of our Earth. 🌿
Mr. Thomas wowed the crowd by playing the didgeridoo and even invited some students to come up and learn how to play it themselves—what a fun and unique experience! 🎶
Students were engaged, excited, and inspired as they learned how even small actions can make a big difference in protecting our planet. 🌎💚
A special thank you to Mrs. Winn, our community school social worker, for organizing this wonderful opportunity for our Vienna Terrapins! 💚🐢

Our Kindergarten Terrapins sure know how to start the day in a happy way! 🎉
Mrs. Dechert’s Kindergarten class begins each morning with a fun and energetic greeting time. Today’s greeting had each student taking a turn jumping on the trampoline while the class chanted:

We’re so glad you’re here today…
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!” 🎉
This is just one of the many fun and creative morning greetings our kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Dechert, shares with her students, along with instructional assistants Mrs. Compton and Mrs. Malchow. These joyful routines get our Kindergarten Terrapins moving, laughing, and excited for the day ahead.
There’s nothing better than starting the morning with smiles, energy, and a warm Vienna Elementary welcome! 💛🐢📚
