🎉 Growth worth celebrating! 🎉 Today we recognized students who showed the most growth on their Reading or Math i-Ready tests. Way to work hard and keep pushing yourselves—we are SO proud!







Mrs. Ferrara's Class:
As part of our Earth science unit and our Geology reading unit, students investigated differences in "lava" types in order to explain the differences in the shape and eruption patterns among different volcanoes. Students needed to collaborate on several labs, analyze results, and report findings back to their peers.

Week 20 is in the books! 🎉
Our students had a blast bowling in P.E. with Coach Miller 🎳, teachers were treated to lunch thanks to Ms. Schroeder 🍽️, and our amazing 5th graders teamed up with our kinders for some special learning time 💙.
Classrooms were buzzing as students participated in counting collections and confidently led their classmates during number talks. Way to go, everyone—learning and leadership in action!

Mrs. Ferrara's Class:
As a finale to our CKLA reading unit, Eureka! Student Inventors, our class collaborated to create new inventions using recycled materials. Students brainstormed ideas, diagrammed their designs, worked together to solve problems, built their inventions, and completed a series of tasks to prove that their creations worked.

Week 19 was a blast! We practiced expectations, rocked our morning meetings, teamed up with playground staff, and had tons of fun with team-building activities like cup stacking challenges and dance parties. We also had fun with special coloring pages that our support staff will soon see—so much positivity, teamwork, and appreciation all around!

Week 18 brought us back from Christmas Break and into a fresh start! ❄️ We embraced the cold weather, made positive changes, and set exciting goals for 2026. Here’s to a great start to the new year!










Save the date - Thursday, February 5th

Barsa popped into classrooms today to check out all the amazing things happening. From curious questions to focused learning and big smiles, there was so much hard work and creativity on display.



Woo hoo to Ms. Cameron's class being the sixth correct answer for our "What's This Song?!?" Wednesday Award! Today's song was "Best Day of My Life" performed by American Authors.

This morning, all students and staff participated in a schoolwide expectations rotation to kick off our return from Christmas Break. Over the course of about an hour and a half, students visited stations focused on expectations for the bathrooms, hallways, playground, assemblies, buses, and cafeteria.
It was a great way to refresh routines, build consistency, and set everyone up for success in the new year. We’re proud of our students for their engagement and positive attitudes!
