Our second graders were hard at work last week learning all about multiplication! They explored the concept of repeated addition and equal groups to master this important math skill. Keep up the great work, second graders!
Last week, our kindergarteners had an exciting time learning about data analysis and geography! They started by collecting data on their classmates' favorite ice cream flavors. After gathering the information, they created a picture graph and answered questions about which flavors had the most and least votes.
In social studies, we introduced the concept of geography by teaching that maps represent places. Whether it's a map of our school or a map of the United States, maps help us find locations and navigate the world. After reading books and viewing examples, the students drew their own maps, showcasing their understanding of how maps work.
It was a week full of discovery and creativity!

Our kindergarteners have had a fantastic time engaging with science! They investigated everyday phenomena by building a "Structure for Shade," deepening their understanding of three-dimensional Science and Engineering topics through student-led inquiry. Using the anchor phenomenon of melting ice cream, they explored the question, "How can a structure be designed to reduce the warming effects of sunlight?"
Next, we learned about the physical properties of rocks, such as size, texture, pattern, and shine. Students then used the vocabulary words they learned to conduct their own hands-on exploration of rock properties. We're so proud of their curiosity and enthusiasm for learning!
A HUGE thank you to our amazing Minshew PTA for bringing the YUCK Show to our Colts today! The students had an absolute blast and learned so much along the way. We are so grateful for all the support that makes these special experiences possible for our kids!
