Sixth grade science students got to enjoy Imploding Pop Cans last Friday. While practicing laboratory skills, such as writing observations, documenting materials needed, and practicing lab safety procedures, they investigated pressure changes by heating up the pop can and then plummeting it into ice cold water.










💻✨ Happy IT Professionals Day! ✨💻

Our district is piloting new math programs, one of which is called Bridges for grades 1, 2, and 3. A key design element for Bridges is Number Corner.
Number Corner is a fun and interactive part of the day where students explore math through patterns, counting, and hands-on activities. Each month, they look for patterns on the calendar, work with collections like cubes or coins, and track how many days they've been in school. Through games and visual tools, students build strong number sense and problem-solving skills in an engaging way.
