Super proud of these students who had the highest scores in their grade level on the Fall MAP tests in Math and Reading. Congratulations to Lilly, Andrew, Jace, Enrique, Evelyn, & Braxton.
It was a fun day in 2nd grade as we did a culminating project for our communities unit. The kids had a good time building their rural, suburban, and urban communities. We learned all about the different characteristics of each community throughout the unit and the students got to show off their creativity as they created their own communities today!
This week marked the beginning of Autumn but we are still loving the summer weather☀️
Check out this super smart Mathfact Master duo! Their math fact recall was lightning fast and right on target. Of course, we celebrated with a super loud hallway yee-haw!
Preschool had a great field trip to Boggio’s Orchard! We picked apples and pumpkins and enjoyed a donut and cider as well! Such a perfect day for our first field trip!
