In Ms. Belcher’s fourth-grade classroom, students use an interactive math station to practice four-digit subtraction with regrouping. Through Quizlet, students are able to practice their skills in an engaging way while receiving immediate feedback on their understanding.

This is just one example of what families will learn more about during Open House/Curriculum Night on September 15th! Come see what learning looks like in your child’s classroom and learn ways you can support their learning at home. 💛🏫

🐝 What a wonderful Meet the Teacher Day! 🐝

Our cafeteria was buzzing with excitement as we welcomed our Busy Bees and their families! It was so much fun meeting new faces, reconnecting with familiar ones, and getting ready for an amazing school year ahead.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and help make today so special. The smiles, excitement, and positive energy have us counting down the hours until tomorrow!

📚✏️ We can’t wait to welcome all of our Busy Bees back for the first day of school tomorrow. Here’s to a year filled with learning, growth, friendship, and unforgettable memories!

See you bright and early, Busy Bees! 💛🐝
