Collaboration and Co-Teaching at its finest! Mrs. Childers had a great plan to integrate fun technology into a Social Studies lesson. Ms. Ewell helped teach the students about the Chatter Pix app and Mrs. Childers taught about the earth!

It all resulted in a fun and engaging final product the students put on Seesaw!

Tiny trays, big smiles! 🍎🥪

Our kindergartners are mastering the art of lunch time—from opening their own milk cartons to sharing giggles over sandwiches. Seeing their little faces light up as they recharge with their classmates is easily the sweetest part of the day!
