Eighth graders diving into the world of rotations at our interactive math stations! Each station presents a unique challenge, from visualizing points on the coordinate plane to applying the rules of rotation. Students collaborate, problem-solve, and enhance their understanding of how shapes turn and transform.

🌳 Did you know that success is like a tree? The "7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" teaches us that the most important changes happen beneath the surface!
Our junior ICAP class recently reviewed the first three habits:
Being proactive
Beginning with the end in mind
Putting first things first
These form the "private victory" - the roots that nobody sees but are crucial for growth. Just like the mural in our ILC, it's all about building a strong foundation.
Monkey business in the classroom! 🐵
Our kindergarteners are jumping into learning - literally! They acted out "Five Little Monkeys" while practicing counting backwards from 5 to 1. It's amazing to see how combining movement, storytelling, and numbers can make learning so engaging and memorable.
Exciting times in our 3rd grade classroom! We're putting together writing binders to help our young authors stay organized and improve their writing skills. It's amazing to see how a little structure can make a big difference in their creativity and confidence.
In Animal Science and JH Ag Exploration, students are diving into beef cattle management! This week, we explored cattle reproduction, learning about the parts of the reproductive system. Students practiced locating the cervix and understand how to check for pregnancy in cows. Hands on learning at its best.

Our preschool students have been busy at work learning how to be in a classroom setting over the past few weeks and learning new routines and expectations. But beyond what is captured during our lessons, we must demonstrate the importance of play at this age. What you see is children playing, but behind the scenes, I am capturing data on how my students are learning to share, work together, and problem solve. All vital skills for children to acquire.
Did you know that play is crucial for a child's development? 🧠💡
Through play, children:
• Develop problem-solving skills
• Enhance creativity and imagination
• Build social and emotional intelligence
• Improve physical coordination
What's your favorite memory of playing as a child? Share in the comments and let's celebrate the power of play! 🎉👶
