It was an honor for Mrs. Heister's & Mrs. White's 4th Grade classes to host a visit from a UK professor who is blind. She taught us about living with blindness and how our eyes work. The students loved creating an edible model of the eye, making the lesson both educational and delicious! It was a truly insightful and inspiring experience.

Let's give a huge round of applause to our incredible PTO President! She is the definition of a "behind-the-scenes" hero, always working tirelessly to make our school a better place.

Dancing with partners takes communication and cooperation! Students have been practicing these skills during music with Mr. Schatko.
Our first graders are becoming number pros! They became math detectives, practicing their number identification skills up to 100 with some super fun math mystery pages. Every correct number helped them unlock a piece of the puzzle. They were so focused and determined to solve the mystery. It's awesome to see them excited about learning!
Our 3rd graders are becoming detectives of the text! They're practicing a crucial skill: citing text evidence. It's amazing to watch them use their critical thinking to find proof in the story to back up their answers. Keep up the great work, detectives!
Our music class is in full swing! Students are grooving and showing off their creativity by inventing movements to match the rhythm and feel of a song. It's wonderful to see their imaginations come to life through dance and music!

Mrs. Fitch's 2nd grade class kicked off the Second Steps program, our character education curriculum. We were so impressed as they reflected on the skills they're great at and shared how they worked hard to become good at them. It's a fantastic start to learning more about ourselves and each other!
These students have been working as an ensemble in music class. Don't forget that every grade has a performance this year!
Happy "Dress the Teacher" Day! Mrs. Witt's students worked hard to earn this reward by receiving 25 compliments in the hallway.

What a fun way to celebrate great behavior and another trip around the sun!
Who doesn't love to be "the boss?!" Miss Ferree's students have worked on their rounding skills by deciding which numeral is "the boss" when rounding to the nearest hundred!

Check out these smiles! Some of our students had a roarin' good time in class recently! Our little paleontologists got their hands dirty making their very own fossils. This hands-on activity was a fantastic way to develop their fine motor skills and learn all about dinosaurs and the amazing world of fossils. What a fun way to bring science to life!
As part of our new curriculum, Mrs. Boggs' 1st graders drew pictures and then practiced retelling a fable. We love seeing our youngest students work on their communication skills!
