Second Grade: Mystery Reader and New Decor

Our second-grade class gets a visit from a Mystery Reader and invites the new season with a change in classroom decor.

Season’s Greetings: Learning about Advent

Mrs. Hyland and our middle school students are helping the K-5th graders learn about the season of Advent.

Beautiful weather = outside time on the playground

Science fair preparation in 2nd and 3rd grade

Many classes worked on class science fair projects, and the 2nd and 3rd-grade classes teamed up to study the science behind lava lamps.

8th-grade elves get ready for the Pajama Jam Parents Night Out and serve by setting up for the science fair

The 8th-grade class has been preparing for the Pajama Jam Parents Night Out, and they took to “the streets,” dressed in Christmas attire, to advertise the outing at carpool. They also served the school by preparing the room for our science fair.

K-5th grade practices for their Christmas play

Our K-5th grade students are practicing their scripts, excited about their roles in the upcoming Christmas play.

Our 4th and 5th-grade students enjoy their cozy writing lab

When they have an in-class writing project to work on, the students in Mrs. Cori’s classes are invited to bring in a favorite blanket, pillow, and drink to have during their writing lab time. Some of them even bring their own mugs for hot tea.
