Our 2nd graders had a blast on our field trip to UCA! We started the day with a nature reserve walk to observe seasonal changes, then headed to the planetarium to learn fascinating facts about all the planets! Learning is always more fun when we get to explore the world around us!

🍂📚 Exploring the Seasons Through Reading! 🍁❄️🌸☀️

Mrs. Patterson’s second grade Little Cats wrapped up Module 1 with a Seasons Socratic Seminar! Students worked with partners to revisit their module texts, find evidence of seasonal changes, and share their discoveries.

We love seeing our Little Cats think critically, collaborate, and use text evidence to support their ideas! 💙🐾

It is National School Lunch Week! This week is all about recognizing the power of a healthy, delicious meal in helping our students learn, grow, and thrive every day, while celebrating the amazing team that feeds our district.

To kick off the week, here is our first big stat: Did you know our CPSD Food Service team serves over 1 million lunches across the district every single school year?

That takes a massive amount of prep, care, and friendly smiles in the lunch line. Thank you to our incredible nutrition crew for keeping Team Conway fueled and ready to excel! 🍎🥪💙🐾
