Today's garden scavenger hunt with second grade 🪴

7th grade science students are using marshmallows to model sodium and chlorine ions as they build extended structures. Through this hands-on activity, they’re visualizing how a repeated pattern extends a structure.

Third Grade has been focusing on the Life Principle of the Month- Kindness and Friendship. These Rockets earned Golden Tickets for demonstrating and setting a great example this month! 🧡🚀

It was a HAPPY week in 3rd grade! We started our school year off with a Hat Day, All Star Twins, Pajama Day, Pattern Day & You Day. We're excited for a great school year!
