🤖✨ Our scholars are having a blast in Ozobots Club!
Students are exploring the exciting world of coding and robotics as they learn how to program their Ozobots using color codes and simple coding concepts. Through hands-on activities, scholars are developing critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, and teamwork skills while bringing their tiny robots to life.
It's amazing to watch our students build confidence as they experiment, create, and discover how technology works. We can't wait to see what they code next! 🚀💡

🌱🍅 What a wonderful week watching the students' excitement as they saw their very first tomato turn from green to red! Over the weekend, many cherry tomatoes ripened as well, and they were excited to see the okra growing too. They also had the chance to taste their very first cucumber and squash from the garden — a special moment after all their hard work and care! 🥒🌼 We love seeing their excitement and pride as they care for and tend to their garden each day. These hands-on experiences are helping them learn patience, responsibility, and the joy of growing something from seed to harvest. 🌿❤️ A special thank you to Miss Drew for leading this club and helping our students grow their love for gardening and learning. We are excited for the future of our Garden Club! 🌱✨

🌱🌼 Our garden clubs are growing something special! 🌼🌱
At Redwood, our students are diving into the essentials of plant care—learning all about what plants need to thrive. They were thrilled to spot their very first tomatoes 🍅 and cucumbers 🥒 starting to grow! Last week, they also researched safe, natural pesticides to help protect their plants in an eco-friendly way.
Meanwhile, at Sequoia, students are getting their hands dirty creating compost, exploring when plants need water, and learning how to propagate new plants 🌿.
It’s incredible to see their curiosity bloom alongside their gardens! 🌞💧🌻�
