Our scholars were happily at it again today!!! They were on point implementing the 8 habits and their SPOTS Expectations while working together to build the tallest structure(rising 2nd graders)
and creating a Puff Mobile that could travel 6ft via puffs of breath
(rising 5th and 6th graders)
Well Done Scholars!!!
🚀 Summer learning is in full swing at Chicot Elementary and Early Childhood Center! 📚 Kindergarten through 3rd-grade students are diving into hands-on fun through Project-Based Learning in the school’s 21st Century Program. Over the past few days, students took on the Design Challenge Process, using math skills and real-world materials like straws, index cards, and even Life Savers 🍬 to build creative structures and cars. Working in teams, they brainstormed, built, tested, and improved their designs — all while learning and having a blast! Way to go, Chicot scholars! 💡🔧
🍎 Did you know? Children in NAEYC-accredited early learning programs are nearly twice as likely to be rated “proficient” or “school ready!” That’s why the Little Rock School District’s Early Childhood Program is proud to pursue NAEYC accreditation — raising the bar for kindergarten readiness, educational equity, and lifelong success. ✨ Want your child to start strong?

Our scholars in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd 3rd, really enjoyed going through the Design Challenge Process for the past 2 days!!!
Our K- 5th grade scholars had a blast during our 4th - 9 week incentive! We are looking forward to seeing each of you in August! Sharpen the Saw, have fun and remember to READ!!!
Be Safe!!!
📢 Reminder: All schools and offices in the Little Rock School District will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. We wish everyone a safe and meaningful holiday weekend as we honor those who have served our country. ❤️🤍💙 #MemorialDay #ReimaginingLRSD
Thank you for being Proud Chicot Scholars!!!

Chicot Career Day was a success! The children gained career awareness from several presenters. This day was full of learning. The students were introduced to a wide range of career options they may not have considered or even knew about.
📚 Literacy in Action! The Rotary Club of Little Rock Afterhours continues to champion reading through its ongoing partnership with LRSD. Now in its third year, the program challenged students to read 20 minutes each day—and they rose to the occasion! 👏 Congratulations to our top three schools for total minutes read. 🥇 Mabelvale Elementary – 67,835 minutes 🥈 Chicot Elementary and Early Childhood Center – 64,515 minutes 🥉 Otter Creek Elementary School – 59,398 minutes.
