Today our students turned the classroom into a domino engineering lab! 🎲 Working in teams, they designed their own domino chain reactions, testing ideas, adjusting their layouts, and cheering each other on as they tried to create the perfect domino effect. Along the way they practiced: 🤝 Teamwork – collaborating and listening to each other’s ideas 🧠 Strategy – planning how to keep the chain reaction going ⏳ Patience – carefully resetting when things didn’t go as planned 🎉 Celebrating success – when the dominoes finally fell perfectly (well, sort of 😆) Learning doesn’t always happen at a desk. Sometimes it happens one domino at a time!
Who says math can’t be delicious? 😄📊 Today our students turned Fruit Loops into math tools! 🌈🥣 Using colorful cereal, they practiced making predictions, fractions, decimals, percents, and even graphs. First, they predicted how many of each color they would find in their bowl. Then it was time to sort, count, and turn those tasty loops into fractions and decimals. After that, they converted their data into percents and created bright, colorful graphs! Learning + cereal = the perfect recipe for a fun math lesson!
2nd grade enjoyed learning about chicks and then getting to hatch our own in the classroom!
Today starts our Service Learning Project. This year we are doing a cereal drive. We are collecting unopened boxes of cereal to donate to the food pantry. We hope to collect enough to make a cereal domino effect.

Congratulations to our February Pizza with the Principal winners! 💙🍕💛
Being responsible means making good choices, even when no one is watching. 💙 At school, that looks like coming prepared, completing assignments on time, taking care of materials, and treating others with kindness and respect. When we are responsible, we help create a positive learning environment where everyone can succeed. Let’s keep showing what it means to be leaders in our school each and every day!
Help support Student Leadership on March 4th. They will be having a DOLLAR DAY sale on Ring Pops! The sale will take place before school in the gym.

Today, Mrs. Theis and some 4th grade students had a fun (and messy) reminder that big feelings need healthy outlets. Take a breath, use your tools, and keep those emotions from fizzing over! 🧠✨
