💚 Join us in showing support for Mental Health Awareness by wearing GREEN this week! 🌿💚
Wearing green is a simple way to remind our school community that mental health matters and that kindness, encouragement, and caring for one another can make a big difference.
Let’s fill our school with GREEN and show that we support healthy minds, happy hearts, and one another! 💚

Mrs. Stewart’s 3rd grade class (including her amazing student teacher Mrs. McCurley) had a sweet time with science during our Root Beer Float Lab! 🥤🍦🧪 Students reviewed their learning by exploring the three states of matter by identifying the ice cream as a solid, the root beer as a liquid, and the bubbles and foam as evidence of a gas. They made predictions, recorded observations, and watched how the materials changed once they were combined. Learning about matter is definitely more fun when you can eat the experiment afterward! 😋🔬

🧐 Mrs. Edwards' first graders dove into one of their favorite classroom routines today: Notice & Wonder! They looked at Green Eggs and Ham together, and instead of rushing to find an answer, they slowed down to just be curious. In small groups, they asked each other, What do you notice? and What do you wonder? 💡Keep up the great work, first grade!
