Week of April 13, 2026

This Week preschool played with shaving cream and enjoyed time outside.

This week students have been studying types of plants, parts of flowers, and done growth observations. We also got to enjoy some musical guests on Wednesday! 

Kindergarten celebrated the end of our book study of  “Bread Comes To Life” by George Levenson by making our own bread and butter for snack.

Ms. Austin’s first graders LOVED Cecilia, the band brought to us by LOTUS. We are also very excited about the growth of our seedlings. We can’t believe how much they’ve grown in just over a week.

Mrs. Platt’s first graders did a fun STEM lesson this week dealing with measurement using unifix cubes. We have been studying measurements in math and the students got to build the tallest candy heart tower and measure them with the cubes. The students really had a fun time working together to build the tallest tower. 

Second graders have been loving reading and listening to stories. We love books! 

This week, our class has been pretty busy preparing for next week’s ILearn test. It was really fun having the Cecilia band at our school to play some Celtic music and to teach us a dance routine. The concert was a nice break for our class.

Third graders learning about picture graphs. Getting ready for ILEARN!

4th grade students work on finding the area of squares! They are working hard in preparation of the ILEARN test.

Fifth graders are taking a break from Ilearn prep and reading some of their favorite books!

1st grade has been working on creating a moon book and learning wha causes the different phases of the moon.

5th graders have been using math calculations, measurements, and scienctific observations to discover how fast Earth is spinning. Students were able to figure out that it is spinning at 1000 miles per hour.
