🧠🔍🔬Mrs. Miller’s 4th Grade Surgeons Report for Duty! 🩺📚
Yesterday, Mrs. Miller’s students scrubbed in and took on the role of text surgeons! With gloves on and scalpels (okay, pencils 😉) in hand, they dissected various texts—searching for text features and diagnosing how each one contributed to the author’s message.
From bold headings to helpful diagrams, these young scholars made precise observations and proved they know how to break down complex information like pros!
🧠💡 So proud of their critical thinking and teamwork in the operating room!

So proud of our crew for making learning fun and hands-on—Yo ho ho and great job, everyone! 🌊🗣️✏️

✨🧪 Today, Mrs. Terry transformed into Mrs. Terry the Science Experiment Fairy! 🧚♀️🔬
Our 2nd graders rolled up their sleeves and got messy making oobleck as we explored changes in matter. Is it a solid? Is it a liquid? Ask your scientist — they’ll tell you all about it! 😄
It was a day full of memories, messes, and magical learning. Science has never been so fun (or so gooey)! 💚

🌙 Phases of the Moon... with Oreos! 🍪✨
Ms. Watson’s class had a blast learning about the phases of the moon in a fun, hands-on way! 🌕🌗🌑🌘
Using Oreo cookies, students recreated all 8 moon phases by carefully shaping the filling to match each phase — from the New Moon to the Waning Crescent! Not only was it a creative activity, but a delicious one too! 😋🌌
Way to go, young astronomers! 🚀

🍎🐿️ Mrs. Esneul's PreK Class Update! 🐿️🍎
Our amazing SLPA, Ms. Belle, brought storytime to life during speech therapy today! ❤️ She read the adorable book "Apple Trouble" to our kiddos — and it was a hit!
To make it even more fun and interactive, she used a cuddly hedgehog friend with stick-on foods to help act out the story. The students loved helping the hedgehog get "unstuck" and practiced so many great speech and language skills along the way!
We’re so grateful for Ms. Belle and her creativity! 🌟📚🗣️

🎉🔬 Mrs. Summerlin’s 1st Grade Class became SCIENTISTS today! 👩🔬👨🔬
Our young investigators put their observation skills to the test by exploring the world around them using all 5 senses! 👀👃👂👅🖐️
Using POPCORN 🍿 as our subject, we described what we could:
👂 Hear – the popping sound and crunchy bites!
👃 Smell – that warm, buttery goodness!
🖐️ Touch – from hard kernels to soft, fluffy popcorn.
👀 See – the amazing transformation right before our eyes!
👅 Taste – the favorite part… YUM!
Science was delicious today, and our 1st graders LOVED every minute of it! 🧠✨
