📚🌊 3rd Grade is DIVING IN to Close Reading! 🌊📚

Our 3rd grade scholars are making a splash in reading! 🐬💦 Students are diving deep into texts, practicing close reading strategies, and identifying key details that help them strengthen their understanding.

They’re learning that great readers don’t just skim the surface—they dive back into the text, look for evidence, ask questions, and uncover the details that matter! 🔍📖

We love seeing our students think critically, collaborate, and build those strong reading muscles! 💪📚

🌊 Dive In.

🎉 A Great Start to the School Year!📚🐬

Our 1st, 3rd, and 4th grade students have been busy making the first week of school a great one! 💜🩵

Students spent time learning and practicing classroom expectations, building routines, and discovering what it means to be part of a positive classroom community. They also participated in fun activities that helped them get to know their new classmates, make connections, and build friendships. 🤝✨

These first days are about more than learning where things go and how our classrooms work. They are about creating a place where every student feels welcomed, valued, and ready to learn!

We are excited to see our Dolphins continue to grow, learn, and lead together throughout the year! 🐬📚🌟
