Tuesday Happenings! 1st grade had fun with cave & camping day. 2nd Grade had some twins & a yo-yo master at recess. 3rd grade enjoyed some game time with friends. And 4th grade worked on animal adaptations presentations after researching the wild animal of their choice for science class.





Mrs. Allen's 2nd grade class been reading the Wild Robot series by Peter Brown. After tons of support from community near and far, each of her students gets to go home with a copy of the third book in the series, “The Wild Robot Protects” to enjoy over the summer! (P.S. Go see the movie when it comes out in September!) 🤖📚

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!🌟
