🔬✨ Science is off to a curious start!
Mrs. Litcher’s science classes kicked off the year by diving into phenomenon observations! Students were looking closely, asking questions, making observations, and getting curious about the why behind what they see. 👀💭

✨ Learning Through Collaboration & Leadership! 👑
Dr. Kojah's 7th grade students put their teamwork skills to the test! 🧩 Working together to solve puzzles without seeing the original picture challenged students to communicate, delegate, problem-solve, and collaborate effectively.
In another engaging activity, students took the lead during student-led story time, exploring literary devices, Leader in Me concepts, and deeper story themes.
So much learning happens when students are given the opportunity to lead, communicate, and learn from one another! 💙📚 Go, Royals!
