📐✏️ Math in Action!
Our 6th graders are learning how to write algebraic expressions to represent the surface area of figures! Students are connecting geometry and algebra as they find surface area and represent their mathematical thinking with expressions.
Building those problem-solving skills one figure at a time! ➕📏🔢

👑🐑 Nursery rhymes came to life in Kindergarten last week!
To wrap up our Mother Goose unit, our youngest learners dressed up as their favorite characters—from Little Bo Peep to Humpty Dumpty—and took the stage for a special performance! Each student proudly recited their favorite nursery rhyme in front of friends and family.
These classic rhymes aren’t just fun; they help build early literacy, memory, and public speaking confidence. We couldn't be prouder of how brave and expressive our little stars were! 🌟📖
📸 Check out some of our favorite costumes and moments from the showcase below!

Out of this world science happening in 8th grade! 🚀🔴
How do scientists study the surface of Mars? By starting right here on Earth! Our 8th graders have been comparing planetary landforms to uncover the secrets of the Red Planet's geology.
To bring Earth science to life, students used graham crackers and icing to simulate tectonic plate movement—mapping out how mountain ranges form, fault lines split, and plates shift. 🧪✨
