Today we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 🌈
He taught us to be kind, fair, and to stand up for what is right.
Let’s remember his dream by using our words to help, our actions to care, and our hearts to include everyone. 💙
We hope everyone enjoys their day off, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back at school tomorrow! 😊
🐾🔬 3rd Grade Science in Action! 🔬🐾
Our 3rd graders brought learning to life with a Kagan Hand-Up, Stand-Up structure—teaming up with their furry friends from our 100th Day of School celebration! As they moved, shared, and discussed, students explained how biotic and abiotic factors work together in ecosystems and how predators and prey interact.
Engagement was high, voices were buzzing with academic language, and our classroom was full of collaboration, curiosity, and smiles. Hands up, minds on, and learning everywhere! 🌿🦊🧠
