Our morning drop-off crew knows how to have fun! From directing traffic to welcoming our students, our staff will do just about anything to help keep mornings safe, smooth, and full of smiles!
Fifth grade is practicing claims, evidence, and reasoning with "Soup, Salad, or Sandwich!" All foods must fall into one of these categories:
🍜Soup- must have a liquid base
🥗 Salad- must be a mixture of ingredients
🥪 Sandwich- must have an edible outer layer
Students are shown different foods and must make a claim (is it a soup, salad, or sandwich), cite their evidence for their claim, and explain their evidence with their reasoning. Not only does this practice argumentative writing skills, but it ties into how authors develop their arguments! This activity resulted in some great, logical debates and included out-of-the-box thinking. The most intense debate? Chips & Salsa. What do you think fits that best?

Our 3rd graders put the Engineering Design Process into action during science class! Students worked together to design and build bridges using just toothpicks and marshmallows. They planned, built, tested, and made improvements as they worked to create strong and stable structures. We love watching our students think like engineers, solve problems, and learn from their designs!Â
There's nothing better than watching students learn from one another!
Mrs. Glassner's 3rd grade class partnered with Mrs. Perry's 1st grade class and Mrs. Powell's kindergarten class for Reading Buddies!
The older students practiced reading aloud, building confidence, and sharing their love of reading, while the younger students enjoyed listening and learning.

Ice cream sales will begin on September 4th! Students can purchase ice cream for $1 every Friday at lunch.
Mrs. Glassner's class has had a great start to the year! They completed a STEM activity, called "Saving Fred", where they had to save Fred the worm from drowning by only using paper clips. Students had to fit the lifesaving ring around him. This helped build teamwork and collaboration!
Save the date! Picture day is on Thursday, September 17th.
Title One Night was a huge success! Thank you to all of the families who joined us for a fun and informative evening. We loved having you there!
