UPK FUN FRIDAY
Mrs. Karcher’s UPK students had a fun and creative Fun Friday celebrating Earth Day!
Students got hands-on in the classroom as they made delicious “dirt cups,” combining tasty ingredients while learning about the importance of our planet. This engaging activity brought smiles all around and was a perfect way to tie in a little learning with a lot of fun!
Great job to our UPK students for celebrating Earth Day in such a sweet way!

3RD GRADE MATH IN ACTION!
Our 3rd grade students have been busy learning all about collecting and representing data!
On Friday, April 16th, they used colorful Froot Loops to sort and organize information, recorded their results using tally charts, and then turned their data into bar graphs. To wrap up the lesson, students even enjoyed a fun (and tasty!) Froot Loop snack.
What a creative and hands-on way to bring math concepts to life!

Thank you to Mrs. Cooper for sharing photos from yesterday’s Morning Program!
Mrs. Feeney spoke with our students about the power of sportsmanship.
