After studying about space for the last couple of weeks, Mrs. King's first graders traveled to planet Garton to check it out, but ran into some trouble along the way. They had to work with their tablemates to solve math problems to get the clues to help get us back safely!🚀🪐☄️

For our Pi Day celebration, the students earned the chance to pie the staff because they brought in over 400 items to donate to Open Arms beating our goal of 314 items. Way to go, 6th graders!!!

Mrs. Borlin organized a fun Pi Day event for the 6th graders! They got to enjoy a piece of pie and the top 5 students who memorized the most numbers in pi got to do the honors of pieing Mrs. Borlin, Mrs. Karcher, Mrs. Anglin, Mr. Damery, and Dr. Lee! Thank you to all who brought in pies and helped out serving them! A big thank you to Mrs. Borlin for organizing this event!

After studying different types of landforms, students in 2B made some of their own landforms out of salt clay.

Creator's Corner in Room 62 is open and full of creators. Fifth grade students are taking things apart, repurposing parts and pieces, and learning a lot about how things work. The room is noisy and chaotic, but the discoveries are priceless.
