Mrs. Edens’ 5th grade medical students took their knowledge of the human body systems and were able to diagnose 10 patients, identifying the body system that was affected, as well as the evidence that supports their answer.
Thanks to the THS lacrosse team for helping out by opening car doors and welcoming the kids to school in our morning car line. 🥍🏴☠️
Mrs. Horne and Mrs. Oberle's 5th grade ELA classes participated in a Civil War poster- board walkthrough which was part of their final project for ELA. Students were able to view and critique posters, providing feedback to their peers. Each poster focused on the question, "How were men and women affected by the Civil War?"
🎶 What an amazing performance by our talented students! 🎶

Ms. Hahn's 2nd graders explored hands-on learning by working with a collection of items at their tables. With a partner, they first estimated how many items were in their collection. Then, they counted and organized the items in a way that made sense to them. Afterward, they drew a picture to show how they grouped or arranged the items. They're building strong number sense to prepare for understanding multiplication in third grade!
Ms. Rickard's 5th grade classes completed a digestive system lab where they went through every step of the system with bread, water, and vinegar. By the end of the lab they had created "human waste". 🤢

Mrs. Stewart's 3rd graders made some really great positive affirmation posters. Each student wrote a compliment or something that is special about their classmates. After they passed them out to each student, they created a poster to remind themselves how much they are loved and appreciated.💙💚
