✨What a wonderful first week of school!✨

Our dolphins have been busy learning, laughing, & getting to know one another! From exploring the playground & playing outside, to sharing emoji writing, playing games, & completing a “Me in Numbers” math activity, our students have already been making connections & building classroom communities!💙🐬

Our 5th graders also had some fizz-tastic fun with a Mentos & soda science experiment!🧪🥤👨‍🔬

We’re looking forward to an amazing year ahead filled with curiosity, growth, friendship, & so many special moments in the making!
