This month, we’re focusing on helping our students recognize and express their emotions in healthy ways. Learning to talk about feelings builds resilience, strengthens relationships, and helps children manage life’s ups and downs with confidence. Let’s encourage our students to use their words, share their feelings, and remember—it’s okay to feel all the feelings! |
STEM News |
STEM LabIt’s been an exciting season of discovery in the STEM Lab. Our fifth graders are exploring genetic traits and learning what makes each of us unique. Fourth graders are creating ecosystems with the water cycle, modeling how water moves through our planet. Third graders are becoming paleoartists, using fossils and science to imagine prehistoric life. Second graders are engineering mini golf courses to investigate force and motion, while first graders are experimenting with light and sound communication systems. Our kindergarten students are tending to our school garden, studying seeds and how they survive the winter. Science is all around us, and we are having a blast learning through exploration! |
