Each year, kindergarten looks forward to the tradition of graphing, mapping, and building gingerbread houses. Students practiced important math and spatial skills as they planned their designs and worked together to bring them to life. The room was filled with creativity, laughter, big smiles, and plenty of sticky fingers as learning and fun came together.

Third grade scientists were hard at work exploring mechanical energy by coding Dash robots. Students learned how energy creates motion as electrical energy powered the robots and transformed into mechanical energy. Through hands on exploration, students observed how movement, speed, and force work together. Science came alive through active learning.
