✏️📚 Learning in Action at Horace Mann!
Our 3rd graders were up and moving today as they learned about simple and compound sentences. Students searched the classroom for sentence cards, then marked their sheets to show whether each one was simple or compound.
Hands-on learning like this makes grammar fun while keeping students active and engaged!

🧩 Yesterday in Tween Life, our middle school students tackled a fun teamwork challenge!
Working in groups, they first completed a puzzle with the picture side down, then tried again with the picture face up. The activity showed just how important communication, patience, and teamwork are—especially when the “big picture” isn’t clear.
It was a great reminder that when we support one another, even tough challenges become possible! 💡👏
