☔❄️ When it’s raining hard outside, Pre-K finds creative ways to have fun! Our Pre-K students had a snowball fight in the gym this rainy Wednesday, bringing the winter spirit indoors. Even Mrs. Waters stopped by to join in on the fun! What a great way to turn a rainy day into a memorable one! 🎉

Blue Christmas: Wear blue today!
Mrs. Thomas’ fourth-grade class completed a rock cycle simulation today using Starburst. Students tore the starburst into “sediments” simulating erosion. Students then gathered the “sediments” together to model erosion and compacted the “sediments” into layers to create a “sedimentary rock”. Students then applied head and pressure to the “sedimentary rock” to create a “metamorphic rock.” Finally, students microwaved their “metamorphic rock” to simulate melting into an “igneous rock.”
First grade has been learning about Christmas and trees from the past and present. We concluded today by making an edible Christmas tree. This is one of our favorite activities!
For day 3 of Christmas around the world, Kindergarten students learned about the Christmas customs of Sweden. They learned about Saint Lucia and made her crown.
