Mrs. Lee’s 3rd Grade Class is in the middle of their Animal Classification unit!

The students are becoming little animal researchers as they learn how to classify animals and discover fascinating facts about the animal kingdom.

Today, they learned all about amphibians, the life cycle of a frog, and compared these animals to others.

We are so proud of our curious learners and all the amazing things they are discovering! 🐸💚

Our kindergarteners practiced compound words in a fun and hands-on way!

Each student had a picture representing one part of a compound word, and they worked together to find their match and put the two words together to create a new word.

They loved working with their friends, solving the puzzle, and discovering how two little words can join together to make one BIG new word! (Pop+corn=popcorn!)

Stretching our brains AND moving our bodies! 🧠🏃‍♀️

Ms. Marsh snuck a little movement into her 2nd grade GT class while they tackled brain teasers, logic puzzles, and word games!

Sometimes the best way to get those brains working is to get those bodies moving, too.

Movement can boost focus, energy, mood, and brain power — and judging by these pictures, they didn’t mind one bit. 😂

Big thinking doesn’t always have to happen sitting still! 🧠✨

📊📈 Data Detectives at Work! 📈📊

Mr. Buck’s class has been busy collecting data and turning it into bar graphs! These mathematicians surveyed their classmates to find out their favorite specials class and favorite season, then used the results to create and analyze their own graphs.

And these kiddos absolutely ROCKED IT! 🙌🐾 We love seeing our Panthers use real-world data to make math meaningful and fun!

Way to go, Mr. Buck’s class! ❤️📊

Reading is always more fun with a friend!

Mrs. LeSieur's first graders have been enjoying Buddy Reading, where students partner up to read, listen, and learn together.

Buddy Reading is a fun way for our young readers to practice the skills we’ve been learning in class—using reading strategies, building fluency, reading with expression, and talking about what they’ve read.

We love seeing our students encourage one another, share their thinking, and grow in confidence as readers!

🔴🟡🔵 Connecting the Dots in PE! 🔵🟡🔴

This week, our Panthers are celebrating International Dot Day in PE with a fun game called Dot Shot! 🎯

Students work together in teams to collect as many dots as possible by making shots into the big bucket. They can choose a closer distance to build confidence and experience success—or challenge themselves by shooting from farther away! 🏀💪

But Dot Shot is about much more than making baskets! Our students are learning the importance of teamwork, encouragement, and good sportsmanship. Fist bumps, high fives, and cheers for teammates make every successful shot worth celebrating! 🙌❤️

We love seeing our Panthers challenge themselves, support one another, and discover that when everyone contributes, the whole team succeeds!

🔴🟡🔵 Make your mark, Panthers! 🔵🟡🔴

Mrs. Godfrey’s 2nd graders are putting their math skills to work! 📊🔢

We collected classroom data by choosing our favorite season of the year—Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter! 🍁☀️❄️🌸

Then, we turned our data into picture graphs to see which season was the class favorite.

Our little mathematicians practiced reading graphs, comparing data, and asking and answering questions about what they discovered.

Who knew our favorite seasons could make for such great math learning?! 🤩📈
