Each week, Ms. Vaughn’s kindergarten class celebrates a Star of the Week! This special tradition gives every student an opportunity to share more about themselves with their classmates.
Ms. Vaughn kicked things off as the class’s first star! To conclude her star status, she brought a very special show-and-tell guest: her horse, Player! Students loved meeting Player and giving him plenty of pets. What a memorable way to start this classroom tradition!

Kindness is filling buckets in Ms. Johnson’s kindergarten class! 🧡
Last week, students learned how their words and actions can help fill someone else’s imaginary bucket. They created their own buckets, then put kindness into action by going around the classroom and filling their classmates’ buckets with kind words and messages.
It’s a simple lesson with a BIG impact: kindness matters, and we all have the power to make someone’s day a little brighter!

What happens to pollution when wind and water get involved? Mrs. Sylvester’s 5th-grade scientists put it to the test! Students created gusts of wind and water currents to observe how far “model” plastic pollution could travel.
The hands-on investigation is part of their study of Earth’s water and the impact microplastics can have on keeping our water clean. By testing, observing, and making connections, these students are seeing how forces in nature can move pollution far beyond where it started.

A little throwback to when Mrs. Hesser’s 2nd-grade Coffee Shop first opened for the year!
Her students kicked off the school year with a special coffee shop-inspired treat: chocolate milk with the fixings... because when your classroom has a coffee shop theme, you have to celebrate accordingly!
Mrs. Hesser’s Coffee Shop is officially open for business and serving up learning, laughter, and plenty of fun all year long.
