In this learning plan, Mrs. Pratt's students used base ten strategies and properties of operations to add up to four addends and subtract within 100—all by creating their own restaurants and menus. Their peers got to “order” from the menus while practicing their math skills. 🍽️

Mrs. Spence’s students are bringing their Winter Wonderland poems to life! ❄️✏️
After choosing their favorite stanzas, they illustrated them with creativity— while enjoying a special chocolate milk treat. A sweet mix of poetry, art, and winter fun! 🥛🎨📖





We are so grateful for all the love and thoughtful surprises you’ve shared—especially during this busy holiday season!
Thank you for always thinking of us and for helping make our school such a supportive and happy place to be. We appreciate you so much! ✨

We would like to say THANK YOU to Christ Church for their generous Little Debbie donations for our Winter Science Family Night! We appreciate you!

🐾🎉 Special Visitor Alert! 🎉🐾
Spot, the dog mascot from Amira, is spending the week with us—and for a pawsome reason! Our K–3rd grade students had the most quality minutes on Amira Tutoring in the district last week! 🏆📚 Amira focuses on strengthening reading fluency through individualized, guided practice.
And of course, we had to celebrate in style! Our campus is full of fun, festive headwear, and yes… Spot joined in on the festive fun, too! 🎄🎩🐶
👏 Congratulations to our amazing Cheetahs and teachers for all the focus, effort, and hard work!

Our 4th graders took math to the next level with a field trip to CiCi’s Pizza! 🍕
They practiced rounding and fractions using something they know and love—pizza! Learning is always better when it’s hands-on (and delicious). 😄
