Ms. Elizabeth’s 1st and 2nd grade mathematicians are hard at work building strong number sense! Students are exploring strategies that help them fluently add and subtract within 20. They are using tools, visuals, and hands-on practice to deepen understanding. Their confidence is growing every day as they learn to see numbers in new ways and strengthen their problem-solving skills.
In Ms. Elizabeth’s 4th grade math classes, students are diving into fraction mastery! They’ve been practicing adding and subtracting like fractions and discovering how equivalent fractions help make these operations easier to understand. With collaboration, critical thinking, and lots of math talk, these learners are becoming experts at working with fractions in meaningful, real-world ways.

🌟 5th Grade Science Spotlight! 🌟
Our young scientists in Mrs. Trenka's 5th grade Science class have been hard at work exploring Arkansas State Science Standard 5-ESS1-2, which focuses on observing patterns of the Sun and stars to make evidence-based predictions.
This week, students used an interactive digital simulator to investigate how the position of the Sun changes throughout the day and across seasons. After experimenting, they applied their learning by creating scientific diagrams to show what they observed and explain their thinking.
We are so proud of the curiosity, focus, and creativity they brought to this activity. Their diagrams clearly show how deeply they’re beginning to understand patterns in the sky! 🌞✨🌙
Great job, scientists! 🔭📘

After completing a unit on Fables, students in Mrs. Lauren’s fourth grade reading class were given the challenge to summarize their favorite fable and include the moral. They also played the role of the illustrator by drawing their favorite part of the fable. We think they did an awesome job!
