Our 2nd graders are exploring human body systems by designing and building their own models.

Today our kindergarten students participated in a fun and engaging gallery walk to showcase the inventions and toys they created! Inspired by The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, students explored how William used curiosity, perseverance, and creativity to build an invention that made a difference. Through Galimoto, they discovered how Kondi used imagination and simple materials to design his own toy—proving that innovation doesn’t require fancy tools, just big ideas! Our students truly brought these stories to life, demonstrating problem-solving, creativity, and pride in their work. The future is full of thinkers, builders, and innovators! 🚀

Our Drone Robotics Team earned their reward! 🚁🍕 Hard work, precision, and teamwork paid off with a well-deserved pizza party after their latest competition win.

Students in Mrs. Zwemer’s class put their real-world skills to the test by using an EPCOT brochure and map-reading strategies to summarize the highlights of their field trip! 🌍✨

Second graders explored the excretory system through informational text, building their understanding of how the body works to stay healthy. They then took their learning on the move—rotating in small groups around the room to tackle comprehension questions, collaborate with peers, and support their answers with evidence from the text.

Today we celebrate the beauty of inclusion, kindness, and the unique strengths that make every child shine for World Down Syndrome Day! 💙💛 Our students remind us daily that differences are something to be celebrated, not just accepted.

Ms. Davidson’s 5th graders are diving into the study of Native Americans across mountains and prairies! Students are working collaboratively to analyze the relationships and interactions between Native American tribes and European settlers, using text evidence to support their thinking.

Patience isn’t just waiting—it’s how we show up while we wait. At All Pro Dads, we’re talking about how patience builds stronger relationships, better communication, and lasting impact with our kids. The lessons we model today are the habits they carry tomorrow.

A big thank you to our PTA for bringing the We Flip Acrobatic Science show to our school! 🤸‍♂️🔬 Students learned science concepts like Newton’s Second Law and saw them come to life through exciting acrobatic demonstrations—including a daring test from five stacked chairs!

Coach Ferrari has us getting our JUMP on in PE this week! 🏃‍♂️ Students are building coordination, timing, and teamwork as they practice and master their skills with long rope jumping. It’s amazing to watch their confidence grow with every turn of the rope! 🪢👏

Ms. Davidson’s 5th graders are hard at work preparing for the B.E.S.T. Writing Assessment!
