💡Making connections through writing✨

This week in Mr. Ellison’s 4th-grade classroom, students explored figurative language by constructing and analyzing similes. Understanding how these comparisons work helps our young writers bring their stories to life! Take a look at some of their great work in action. 📸👇

Today, our Mina family wore red, white, and blue as we pause to remember September 11, 2001, honor those who lost their lives, and recognize the courage and selflessness of the heroes who responded.

🔬✨ Science Stations in 3rd Grade! ✨🔬

Mr. Shuman’s 3rd graders were learning by doing today! Students rotated through science stations where they tested what sinks or floats, wrote and drew examples of the states of matter, and put their knowledge of physical properties to the test. 🧪📚

🌟5th Grade Spotlight🌟

This week, Ms. Hudson’s 5th grade students were busy learning in a variety of ways! From serving as our announcement helpers, to reviewing for their math assessment, writing in their science books, and engaging in purposeful small-group conversations about mixtures, these students were hard at work! 👏📚🧪

We love seeing our students learn, grow & level up each day.
