✨ The One Word Project! ✨

Our students in Mrs. Monell's 4th grade class kicked off the school year by choosing one motivational word to inspire them to have their best year ever!

After reflecting on their word and writing about why they chose it, students created bracelets featuring their special word. It is a daily reminder to stay positive, motivated, and encouraged throughout the year.

Our students proudly welcomed faculty to a special Pancake Party! 🥞 They put their real-world math skills to work by carefully measuring ingredients and using the correct proportions to make the perfect pancake batter. After cooking their pancakes, they added a delicious homemade berry topping for the finishing touch.

This fun, hands-on activity combined math, cooking, teamwork, and life skills while giving students the opportunity to share their hard work with members of our school community. It was a delicious way to build confidence, create connections, and make lasting memories!

Our elementary students had a blast last week as they teamed up with our preschool students for a fun science experiment! Together, they mixed up a homemade bubble solution and had so much fun blowing bubbles while exploring a little science along the way.

We would love to share our bubble recipe below so you can join in on the fun from home!

Bubble recipe: Combine 3/4 cup dishwashing soap, 1/4 cup sugar and 8 cups of water. Use pipe cleaners to make wands in different sizes.

Students became aerospace engineers as they designed and built paper rockets that could be launched from a straw! Following step-by-step directions from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, students tested their rockets, measured how far they traveled, and recorded their results while exploring the science of flight through hands-on learning. 🚀📏

Science got a little messy—and a lot of fun! 🧪🫧

Our students explored the properties of matter by making foam slime during a hands-on STEM activity. They practiced measuring, making predictions, following directions, and recording observations while discovering the science behind a fun chemical reaction. We even had Dr. Maffia, our new Director of Special Services, join in on the fun!
