❤️💙 Looking back at a GREAT week of learning! ❤️💙

Last week, our 1st grade Cardinals were busy learning, growing, and having fun! Our students were hard at work playing Big Ideas Math games while building their math skills, and our ELA intervention groups were focused and working hard to strengthen their reading skills!

We are SO proud of all our Cardinals and the effort they put into their learning each day! Their smiles, determination, and growth make us proud beyond words!

Way to go, Cardinals! Keep learning, keep growing, and keep shining! ❤️💙

📚 Look at these reading detectives!

Mrs. Haller’s 2nd graders put on their thinking caps this week and worked hard on close reading!

They practiced slowing down, paying close attention to the text, and finding those just-right details that help them understand what they read.

Our little readers had lots of turn-and-talks, partner shares, and “prove it with the text!” moments as they identified relevant details, discovered the central idea, and shared their thinking using text evidence.

So much thoughtful reading, talking, teamwork, and learning happening in 2nd grade! We are so proud of these growing readers! 🌟

Math and the Media Center!

Mrs. Shone’s and Mrs. Miller’s amazing 1st graders brought ALL the smiles and love to hands on math and reading in the Media Center today!

These Cardinals were busy putting their math skills into action with hands-on activities designed to help them master their benchmarks. From problem-solving to practicing important math concepts, learning was active, engaging, and FUN!

There’s nothing better than seeing students excited to learn, collaborate, and grow—and doing it all with a smile!

✨ Hands-On Learning in 5th Grade! ✨

Mrs. Hales’ 5th grade class had a blast taking their classroom outside!

Students completed Common Experiment #1: Hoop Gliders, putting their problem-solving skills to work while experimenting, measuring, testing, and making adjustments.

The lesson was full of engagement, teamwork, collaboration, and FUN! 💙 Seeing students learn by doing, working together, and being excited about science and math is what hands-on learning is all about!

📚✨ Our new media center is already a favorite!

Mrs. Parlett’s class had a wonderful time exploring the new space, trying out the flexible seating and discovering all the new seating options. Most importantly, they found a cozy spot and enjoyed a good book! 💙📖

We love seeing our students excited to read, learn, and make themselves at home in our new media center! What a great day! 🎉
