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". 🤢

Mr. Bailey fulfilled his promise that the top fundraising students in each class from the Booster Fun Run, would get to turn him into a human ice cream sundae! He was such a good sport getting whipped cream, sprinkles, marshmallows, and chocolate sauce tossed on him and we had a great time watching! 🎥 https://bit.ly/4ipY4Mt
