Happy MLK Day! On Friday, the 5th grade and 2nd grade classrooms met with their buddy class to color and build a puzzle that represents Martin Luther King’s beliefs on equity and diversity. Students then worked together to trace their hands and write their dreams and words that represent Martin Luther King Jr.
This week in STEM... Kindergarten made geoboard snowflakes, 2nd grade made ramps for mini skateboards, 3rd grade experimented with pulleys and 7th grade made pipe insulation marble rollercoasters.

Christmas Character Day in Kindergarten!
ALL ABOARD!! THE POLAR EXPRESS!! Pre-K had so much fun on the Polar Express on Friday! After receiving a phone call from Santa calling off their trip due to some snowy weather in the North Pole, they promised him they would try their best to keep smiling and have fun anyway! After chugging along with their train whistles, and having their ticket punched, they boarded the train and enjoyed hot cocoa with chocolates! Afterwards, Santa sent them a special package from the North Pole, Silver Bells! The bells were extra chilly to touch from coming straight from the North Pole!
On Wednesday Ms. Nichols’ Pre-K class had quite the excitement! Their gingerbread cookie that was brought in for snack escaped, and led the class on a wild chase through the room following clues! After they found their surprise book, gingerbread stuffy and fresh cookies to eat, they made gingerbread houses of their own! They ran, ran, as fast as they could! They didn’t catch him, but the cookies were good! ❤️💚
Some of Mrs. Barshak's 1st Grade friends only have one (okay, two) wish for Christmas...can you guess what it is??
