Science Fair
We are so proud of all our Science Fair participants this year! We noticed ingenuity, creativity, and confidence in their presentations of science observations to teachers, the judging panel, friends, and family.

Sixth and Seventh Grade Dissection Series Continues
Our sixth and seventh graders continued their series of dissections this week; they’re learning so much about the makeup of insects and animals.
7th Grade Buddies Help Kindergarteners & First Graders Make Ornaments for the Learnwell Christmas Tree
Seventh graders helped their kindergarten and first-grade Buddies make Christmas ornaments to hang on the Learnwell Christmas tree.
Elementary Students Prepare for the Christmas Pageant
Students in K-2nd and 3rd-5th grade prepared for the Christmas pageant through prop & set design: shadow puppets, “stained glass” windows, and reading the script together. Way to go, students.
Kindergarteners Make Christmas Crafts & Invite Two Special Visitors
Two special visitors (moms of some of the students) visited kindergarten last week; one read stories while the other parent helped students make Christmas crafts. We love it when parents participate at school!
Middle School Student Bakes Muffins for the Class “Just Because”
One of our middle school students made muffins last week for every student in the class “just because” she wanted to do something kind for them. This exemplifies the compassionate student community we love to see at Learnwell.
K-3rd Grade Students Learn About Wright Brothers in History
Our K-3rd graders learned about the Wright Brothers and how many times they had to try and fail before they finally succeeded in building the first airplane. Afterward, the students got to try to make their own paper airplanes. It was tricky, but they kept trying until they made one that would fly!
Hard at Work in 2nd, 4th and 5th Grade
Students practice persevering in elementary school math, reading, science exploration, and history because these academic behaviors are the foundation of building smart habits as they transition into middle school. Thank you to all of our students, parents, and teachers for the hard work you put into learning every week! (They also have fun and enjoy time together at recess, lunch, and during the learning process.) Have a wonderful Christmas break, everyone—you deserve it!
