Today students learned about the different states of matter during a Museum of Science presentation at school.

On Friday, we had the opportunity to read with our buddies to celebrate the start of Read Across America month.

Our 5th graders did a wonderful job with their buddies today. They got to see the genius-hour projects the 2nd graders have been working on and helped them to revise their work. The projects were amazing!

Thank you to the parent volunteers who were able to come in this morning to help present Salem Sound Coastwatch’s Greenscapes program about keeping water clean. The parents did a wonderful job and the students were engaged. In the afternoon, students enjoyed decorating bags for Valentines and distributing their cards. I hope everyone has a safe, relaxing, fun break!

Our class had so much fun participating in Global School Play Day as their class reward. It was great to see the joy of play and kids being creative and participating in different activities.

Yesterday marked our 100th Day of School! To celebrate, we met with our buddies and completed different 100-themed challenges involving writing, measuring, probability, and other skills. It’s hard to believe we only have 80 days left in the school year!

Four seniors from the high school who are members of DECA led students in engaging activities to build financial awareness.

We had a great last day before the Winter Break reading and doing a craft with our buddies and finishing the day with a wonderful concert.

We’re very fortunate this week to have the opportunity to work with author/illustrator of The Olympians series, George O’Connor. Students began to create their own inspired characters on Monday and will have two more workshops this week to develop their work.
