Homecoming dress up days
This week, our 6th graders showed their citizenship by creating a special banner in honor of this Friday’s high school football game celebrating our Veterans. Today, they proudly presented it to our very own RTC coordinator, Mr. Pendell, who is not only a leader in our school but also a Veteran. We are so thankful for the Veterans in our community and the example they set for our students every day.

After learning that basset hounds have structures like long ears, long noses, and short legs to help with their sense of smell, fourth graders were challenged to create recycled item basset hound models. Take a look at the items they used to represent those important structures!

Last week in Music, 4th & 5th grade learned how to use rhythm sticks! One of the ways we practiced this new skill was to play along to Vivaldi's "Autumn" and "Thunder" by Imagine Dragons.

Last week in Music 3rd grade began learning a cup game to the tune of "Entry of the Gladiators," by Julius Fucik. Many of you may know it as "the Circus" song!

Our 5th graders put their decimal skills to the test in a real-world challenge today! Students became shoppers as they compared gas prices from different “stations” around the classroom. They were tasked with finding the cheapest gas for different vehicles and drivers, using their knowledge of comparing decimals to make smart choices. This hands-on activity helped students see how math connects to everyday situations. They had a blast working together to solve the challenges!

Fourth graders tackled a lock box challenge after learning how bees use their structures to survive. Once the four locks were open, the scientists needed to use the magnetic pieces inside to create models of moving bees.
