Our 3rd Grade Idiom Parade was “a piece of cake!” 🎉📚

Our students brought idioms to life with creative costumes, big smiles, and lots of laughter! From “raining cats and dogs” to “spill the beans,” our hallways were filled with imagination and learning.

We are so proud of our students for thinking outside the box and showing off their creativity and understanding of figurative language. Thank you to our amazing teachers and families for helping make this event such a success! ❤️

At Rutherford Elementary School, learning is always more fun when we can dress it up and bring it to life!
