Check out our Horizon Honors Elementary School 3rd & 4th Graders in action during last week’s Math Number Relay! 🏁💡

This fast-paced challenge was more than just finding the next number—it was a lesson in teamwork, encouragement, and cheering each other on every step of the way. 🎉

At Horizon Honors, we believe in learning by doing. Engaging activities like this help students strengthen problem-solving skills while discovering the power of collaboration and support.

Did you know zebras use teamwork to stay safe from predators? 🦓

Horizon Honors Elementary School 1st & 2ndGraders explored the wild world of camouflage in Project Group this week! They learned how a “dazzle” of zebra stripes can confuse lions by blending the herd together—an incredible real-life strategy for survival!

In Project Group, students dive into hands-on learning experiences that connect everything they’ve studied throughout the day. Each quarter, they tackle a new theme or real-life problem through building, painting, performing, and more!

Magnetic Word Magic! 🧲

Horizon Honors Elementary School 1st & 2nd Graders are making phonics stick—literally! Using hands-on magnetic tiles, students are building words, strengthening their phonics skills, and having fun while they learn.

Because when learning is tactile, it’s memorable. And at Horizon Honors, learning is always magical! 🪄

🐦 Remember last week’s Kindergarten nest-building challenge at Horizon Honors Elementary School? Our students took on the task and built some seriously impressive bird nests! 🪹

Using twigs, leaves, and other natural materials, they worked together to create nests that could hold up in any weather. 🌿It's so exciting to their creativity, critical thinking, and teamwork in action!

Imagine you're a tiny bird looking for the perfect cozy home in the wild! 🪺

Our Horizon Honors Elementary School Kindergarten students are taking on that exact challenge—designing and building bird nests that can stand up to the elements! 🌧️💨

First, they planned out their supply lists—on the hunt for just the right twigs, leaves, and more. Then came the real adventure: gathering materials to bring their nest designs to life! 🪹

➡️ What natural materials would YOU use to build a sturdy nest?

This week, Horizon Honors Elementary School 5th and 6th graders are exploring the power of courage! 💪

Students in Mrs. Martin’s, Mrs. Gewehr’s, and Miss Coffelt’s classes stepped out of their comfort zones with a special challenge: give genuine compliments—even to community members they don’t know well. The result? A powerful chain of positivity!

Spreading kindness takes courage, and our students rose to the occasion. Today, they’re celebrating their efforts with a well-deserved Comfy Day—and they’re totally rocking those PJs!

Have you witnessed any courageous acts lately? Share them below—we’d love to hear!
