Flat Rock Elementary School

That feeling when you get to cuddle your classroom pet! 🥹 Meet Cyndi, Ms. Smith's newest furry friend! 💜

To introduce Cyndi, Ms. Smith read "Ready for Pumpkins", a sweet story about Daisy, a guinea pig class pet, who has a BIG appetite for pumpkins!

Cyndi is ready for LOTS of learning this school year!

Mrs. Hall and Mrs. Mattison's K5 class had a blast reading Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten today! 🐶📚 Each student was assigned an animal from the story and then designed a little schoolhouse just for their new friend! What a fun and creative way to kick off our kindergarten adventure! 🏫✨

Mrs. Williams’ class kicked off the year by building their classroom family with a fun and heartwarming activity all about connection, kindness, and teamwork. They're already growing into a strong and supportive crew! ❤️📚✨

Meet Ms. Kennedy Cobb, the newest addition to the #A3TeachingTeam at Flat Rock Elementary School! 🍎🐯🎉

Ms. Cobb will be teaching 3rd-grade math and is thrilled to join the Tiger family. She graduated this May from Anderson University with a degree in Elementary Education with an add-on in Early Childhood Education. During her student teaching experience in 3rd-grade math, she fell in love with both the grade level and the subject, and says receiving this position felt like a God wink! 🙌

Originally from Belton, SC and a proud Belton-Honea Path alumna, Kennedy met her fiancé in high school, and the two will be tying the knot this November! 💍💐

Welcome to Anderson 3, Ms. Cobb! ✨
