Third graders in coding enrichment were tasked to make a chariot for their Sphero robot to drive. Each student/group had to make a carriage and something to pull it with. They also had to include at least one wheel on their chariot. Once they were all complete they practiced driving them and then had a race!

Mrs. Randall's kindergarten science lesson has students interacting with force in a fun and creative way!
Third grade students are deep in their science unit studying organisms and how they get their traits. To review after the Christmas break, Ms. Raney's students reflected on their own traits and made bar graphs showing similarities and variations among the class.

Among over 1,000 contest entries statewide, three of our students earned recognition as finalists: third-graders Maya Patel and Scarlett Blake, along with first-grader Norah Blake. At the awards ceremony, Norah Blake was awarded first place in the first-grade division, while Maya Patel secured second place in the third-grade division. Scarlett Blake was honored with a finalist certificate for her outstanding contribution. Congratulations!
Literature circles are a fun and engaging way for students to explore books together in small groups. It's a collaborative approach to reading where each student plays an active role in discussing and understanding a book. Literature circles are student-led and give students the chance to think critically about what they’re reading, express their ideas, and learn from others.
