🎃 Week 11: We made it! 🌕🫠

Week 11 may have included a full moon, dress-up days all week, costumes, parties, sugar-fueled anticipation, and a healthy dose of late-October teacher exhaustion… BUT WE MADE IT! And what a week full of memories it was!

Here's a little of what made our week so special:

🚀 High schoolers joined our 5th graders for an out-of-this-world Planetarium experience!

❓ Ms. Blair put together a fun week of Questions of the Day, giving our students plenty to think about (and our kindergarten friends some great tally-mark practice!).

⚡ Idaho Power brought The Shocking Truth to Mrs. Boyle's classroom, along with hands-on learning about electricity, followed by time designing their very own wind turbines!

🤝 Peer support in math, recess fun, and plenty of opportunities to learn alongside one another.

💙 Five days of dress-up themes brought school spirit all week long!

🎃 And, of course, Halloween! From creative costumes and classroom parties to pumpkin carving in some classrooms, the parade and parties were the perfect way to wrap up the week.

A little learning, a lot of laughter, some Halloween chaos, and memories made along the way.

Week 11, you were a lot… but we wouldn't have it any other way. Happy Halloween, Trailblazers! 🧡🐺

Week 10 was short for students, but we loved connecting with so many families! ❤️

This week, we saw morning meetings, partner work, and movement in Mrs. Coombs’ classroom, accidental twinning, and students working together to explore different cultural aspects of the Aztec civilization. We also had Suve, our school photographer, capturing moments around the building!

We loved welcoming so many families into our building for Breakfast Buddies and conferences. Thank you for taking the time to connect with us and for partnering with us in your child’s education! 💙
