Mrs. Holmes’ 3rd graders worked in teams to play Jeopardy…it was a fun way to review comprehension skills!

Mrs.. Collins' classes enjoyed using a formative assessment tool called Plickers for science EOG prep! The kids loved it and had fun!
The Master Gardener’s taught Mrs. Curry's 1st grade class about pollinators today. They learned the different dances that bees do to communicate and had a chance to act them out. Thank you master gardeners for an amazing year with lots of learning. 🐝🌿
Dr. Martin’s economics unit has come to an amazing close with a hands-on project that truly brought learning to life!
📚💡 Students became entrepreneurs and created their very own toy store through a project based learning activity! 🚀 They put their financial literacy skills to the test, learning about how to make a profit, expenses, and pricing strategies.
💰💼 But it didn't stop there! The real magic happened when students from other grades came to shop in their store.
🛍️ Seeing their classmates engage with the products they created was not only rewarding but a true application of the economics concepts they've been mastering.
Here’s to hands-on learning and real-world skills and ending up with a $607 profit!🌟

Students in Mrs. Rice's 4th grade class are thinking about different characters’ perspectives and how they affect their actions in a story about the Revolutionary War. They've read some great texts and looked at the painting of “Washington Crossing the Delaware.” Students have had some wonderful insights and conversations about this important time in our history!

Last week third grade took a trip to the Ecological Marine Aquarium (EMA) ! 🌊🐟🦑 Taking students to the beach for a day of learning and hands-on experiments was incredible. From dissecting fish and squid to meeting reptiles and sea creatures, and even catching fish with a seine net on the beach, it was a blast! And of course, we couldn't resist a visit to Soundside Park too!
Grade 5 students in the AIG math group used their time over the last few months learning to work together to logically solve the problem of engineering a marble roller coaster from paper. Students designed, tested and redesigned their projects several times to achieve optimal results. They explored energy transformation while considering friction and gravity. They considered each other’s ideas, abandoned plans and deliberated new design ideas and solutions. Most importantly, they had lots of fun creating something new and unique.
