Partner reading is a great way to improve reading fluency! Each time our students are able to read aloud to someone, they improve their reading. Ask your child to read aloud to you tonight and see how much they have improved from the beginning of the school year.

Great job third grade!

As the end of the year gets closer, students get the opportunity to go on a variety of field trips. The 3rd graders had a blast at Willow Creek Nature Park for their field trip last week! The weather was perfect for exploring, playing and learning about nature.

5th graders were able to practice their coding skills with the Ozobots. The Ozobot follows lines drawn on white paper. Colors drawn in different sequences tell the Ozobot what to do. Our students had a great time creating their own codes for the Ozobots.
Great work 5th grade!

Student in Biology are learning about cellular respiration, which is the breakdown of food, specifically glucose, to make chemical energy for our cells. In this lab, students are testing their carbon dioxide output, breath rate, and heart rate. Students were able to test how much carbon dioxide is removed by breathing into a pH indicator that changed colors based on the acidity from the carbon dioxide. The quicker the change in color, the more carbon dioxide that was removed and thus the more cellular respiration that occurred.
