✋ Happy High Five Friday, Champions! ✋

Is there any better way to kick off the morning than a friendly high-five? 🎒✨

Give yourselves a huge High Five for crushing it as we wrap up Quarter 1! Let’s finish strong💪🏆 Chandler Unified Schools

Students in Donofrio’s class had a special surprise when Nora brought in her pet baby tortoises! 🐢

The students learned all about their diet, exercise, shell characteristics, and how these creatures adapt to the Arizona desert climate—hitting those Science standards in the most hands-on way. Bonus: we invited Mrs. Franzen’s class in for a second viewing! 🐢 Chandler Unified Schools

🎲 Rolling into multiplication! 🎲

Mrs. Neu’s class is diving into the basics of multiplication by mastering equal groups! To put their skills to the test, students teamed up for a friendly game of Circles and Stars.

Here is how it works:
First Roll: Draw the circles (the equal groups).
Second Roll: Add the stars inside each circle.
Then find out the total using a multiplication sentence

Partner power made the activity even better—students took turns cheering on their buddies and checking each other’s work to make sure their equal groups were spot on. Teamwork makes the math work! 🌟👏 Chandler Unified Schools

Our 3rd graders put their science and engineering skills to the test by designing and building their very own solar ovens! ☀️ After learning how to harness the power of the sun, they put their creations to the ultimate test: melting up some delicious s’mores! 😋

Learning never tasted so good! Great job, little scientists! 🧪✨

Mrs. Farias’ 6th-grade ancient engineers took on the ultimate Mesopotamian STEM challenge: designing and constructing their very own ancient cities, then putting their structures to the test against a simulated flood.

Our students are absolutely thriving in the new Design Lab—learning history, engineering, and problem-solving through hands-on creation! 🧱✨ Chandler Unified Schools
