Our DK kids are having fun learning about graphs!
Some were surveying friends and recording their responses to questions like, "Which are more sour, lemons or lime?" and "Do you like chocolate or candy better?" They used graphs to help collect the data. They also had fun playing "roll a rainbow" to practice their graphing skills.

March is Reading Month! 📚
We're sharing what members of our staff are reading. Merritt Elementary Counselor Stefanie Fitzgerald is reading "Project Hail Mary" by Andy Weir.
"This book is a science fiction novel that came highly recommended and has a film adaptation hitting theaters this month! Though science fiction books are not a typical/go-to genre that I’d gravitate toward as a reader, I’ve got to say this book has me hooked!! I can’t wait to see what happens next on the main character’s interstellar adventure to save planet Earth! "
