Mr. Dinges' first grade students had a special butterfly release! They gathered to watch as their butterfly took flight. What a lovely way to learn about nature and celebrate a new beginning!




Mrs. Plum's class made sequencing wheels of the pumpkin life cycle. Leftover paper scraps made great hats!

Music was in the air as our students practiced rhythm, followed along with the music, and took turns playing the xylophones! It was a fun, hands-on lesson filled with learning and creativity.






Cooler days will be here soon…hopefully! Before the jackets begin their annual migration to the lost and found, please label your child’s cold-weather gear with their first and last name. Help those wandering hoodies find their way home!!

Mrs Plum's class has been busy! They've been using candy corn to make shapes, what a sweet way to learn about shapes! They also watched a caterpillar go through its life cycle and become a butterfly. They were then able to release him and wish him safe travels as he travels south!


Mrs Plum's first graders learned how to make applesauce.

Mrs Shifflett's Pre-k students made bracelets to show they are a classroom family.


Our Pre-k students worked together to make a yummy snack mix!


Encore fun throughout the week!








Our students honored Patriot Day by wearing red, white, and blue and creating meaningful artwork as they learned about the heroes of September 11. We remember, honor, and celebrate the kindness, bravery, and unity that bring us together. ❤️🤍💙
