Kindergarten students are Chromebook Champions! They transition from an iPad to a Chromebook in first grade, so they paired up with their 5th grade buddies to practice typing, using a trackpad, and finding different apps! They also made their own “Chromebooks” to practice with at home this summer!

Roland attended the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) Industry Appreciation Dinner last night at Atlas 42, where he was honored as the Block Kids winner from the competition earlier this year at Pemberton.

Earth Day is a great way to connect to the attributes of a Global Citizen! After reading Wangari’s Trees of Peace and considering how one person can truly make a difference and inspire others , 4th and 5th grade students used Design Thinking to brainstorm, design, and build their own trees with leaves that describe actions they could take to make a difference in their own communities!

Second and third graders learned what it means to be a Global Citizens and make a positive impact in their communities. They built tools and devices to help the earth and their fellow community members.
