Readers can read here, there, anywhere!
From the carpet to under tables to cozy corners, our little learners showed that a good book can be enjoyed anywhere. We love growing a classroom full of happy readers!

We’re kicking off a special week of guest readers to celebrate Read Across America! This morning, our Student Council President, Bailee Howard, shared the beautiful story The Invisible Boy, a powerful reminder that kindness and inclusion help everyone feel seen.

Our kindergarteners are learning about pushes and pulls through Project Lead The Way! Today we focused on pulls with a fun game of Tug-of-War.
Students used their strength and teamwork to explore how forces work. Hands-on learning makes science so much fun!






Mrs. Smiley’s kindergarten celebrated their hard work on patterns by creating edible patterns with a special treat!
