🤝Cooperation Month is off to a great start!✨
Miss Cassidy's 4th grade class has been focusing on what it means to work together and support one another. Through class discussions, group work, and lots of fun activities, students have been practicing their teamwork skills every day!
We’ve challenged ourselves with Silent Ball, worked together to untangle a human knot, and put our teamwork to the test with cup stacking challenges. 🎯 These activities helped us practice communication, patience, and problem-solving—all while having a lot of fun! We’re excited to keep building our cooperation skills throughout the month.

📚✨ Our 5th graders in Mrs. Jacob's class had an unforgettable day celebrating Read Across America! Students brought stories to life by acting out scenes from their books, showing creativity, teamwork, and a love for reading. 🎭📖
To make the day even more magical, we dimmed the lights and read together using book lights, turning our classroom into a cozy reading space where imaginations could shine. 🔦📚
So proud of these readers for embracing stories, sharing laughter, and celebrating the joy of books! ❤️

We celebrated BIG today with a special Clap Out and Donut Celebration for our Character Trait winners for Honesty! 🍩👏
These students have demonstrated truthfulness in both the hard moments and the good ones. Whether it’s admitting a mistake or standing firm in doing what’s right, they show us that honesty matters at all times. 🗣️
We are so proud of the way they choose to say the truthful thing — even when it isn’t easy. Thank you to our families and staff for helping us grow students who lead with honesty and heart. Congratulations to our amazing winners! 🌟

🚌 Our 6th graders had an incredible time on Monday exploring the Peoria Riverfront Museum! 🚌
Students experienced some amazing exhibits, engaging displays, and interactive learning that brought classroom concepts to life. Field trips like this spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and create memories that last far beyond the school day. ✨

Our 5th grade artists in Miss Collins' class have been diving into the world of the Renaissance yet again! 🎨✨ As part of our Renaissance unit, students explored perspective landscape drawing — learning how artists used foreground, middle ground, background, and vanishing points to create depth and realism in their work. 🖼️
This engaging lesson was thoughtfully planned and taught by the amazing Sarah Mayfield, who guided students in understanding how art and math come together to create powerful visual storytelling. 👏🖌️

✨📚 Discovering the Power of a Name 📚✨
Our 4th grade students in Mrs. Johnston's room recently dove into a meaningful name research project inspired by the character Esperanza in Esperanza Rising. After exploring how Esperanza’s name shaped her identity and story, students turned the spotlight on themselves!
They researched the origins, meanings, and stories behind their own names — uncovering family connections, cultural roots, and personal significance. 🌎💛 It was powerful to see students make text-to-self connections and recognize that every name carries history, identity, and a story worth telling.
We love bringing literature to life in ways that help students better understand themselves and each other! ✨

🎨✨ Renaissance magic in the making! ✨🎨
Our 5th grade artists in Miss Collins' room took a trip back to the 1500s as they recreated scenes inspired by the legendary ceiling of the Sistine Chapel! 🖌️Just like Michelangelo, students explored the techniques, challenges, and creativity behind fresco painting while lying beneath their “ceilings” to bring their masterpieces to life. Talk about dedication! 💪🎨
This hands-on project brought our Renaissance unit to life—blending history, art, and a whole lot of imagination. We are so proud of their creativity and hard work! 👏

The 4th graders in Mrs. Johnston's class filled the room with love and positivity during their Heart Affirmations activity! 💖
Each student chose their own heart design, decorated it with creativity and care, and then selected words they love about themselves to proudly display on the front. From “kind” and “brave” to “creative” and “strong,” their hearts were shining with confidence and self-love!
It was such a meaningful way to celebrate the importance of positive self-talk and recognizing all the wonderful qualities that make each student unique. 💕✨ We are so proud of our 4th graders for embracing who they are and spreading kindness from the inside out! #HeartAffirmations #4thGradeShines #SelfLove #ClassroomCommunity

Today’s 5th grade grammar lesson in Mrs. Jacob's class was "up in the air!" ✈️ Students explored prepositional phrases by flying paper airplanes and describing where they went—over the desk, under the table, across the room! Learning by doing makes it stick! ✨
These ladies in Mrs. Johnston's room worked so hard during inside recesses to complete this detailed puzzle! 🧩 It was quite the feat! Here's to the next challenge because none is too big for them! 🧠
