Kindergarten and 2nd graders celebrated Thanksgiving on Tuesday with their very own balloon parade through the halls. Nice work Stingrays!!
Wishing all our Stingray families a very Happy Thanksgiving 🦃



In celebration of completing the first module for Wit and Wisdom, students in 5th grade built travois, made teepees, carved an arrowhead out of soap, had snacks (dried fruit, jerky, popcorn) and played a Nez Perce pinecone toss game to celebrate the end of our module on Thunder Rolling in the Mountains.

Kindergarten read "Rap a Tap Tap: Here's Bojangles-Think of That!" as a part of the Wit and Wisdom curriculum. Mrs. Cantrell's class had a special visitor from a tap teacher and tap student to teach them basic steps in tap. Mrs. Cantrell even found a way to make homemade tap shoes!
