After a snow day break, our classroom is buzzing again ❄️📚 Students are retelling The Gingerbread Man, strengthening addition skills, and practicing holiday word writing in our writing center.

🦴🥨 Learning with a twist!
Our Health & Medical Exploration students wrapped up their Skeletal System unit by creating pretzel skeletons! Using different pretzel shapes to represent bones, students showed their understanding of how the skeleton works and fits together. Hands-on activities like this make learning fun, engaging, and memorable!

Last week, our 6th graders enjoyed a special visit from Smurfit WestRock employees, who guided students through the entire papermaking process—from sustainable forestry and harvesting to production and the paper we use every day. 🌲📄
Students were amazed by how many steps go into making just one sheet of paper, and they especially loved creating their very own piece to take home! This hands-on experience brought the science, craftsmanship, and local industry of papermaking to life right here in our town.
Thank you, Smurfit WestRock, for an unforgettable learning experience and for inspiring the next generation of scientists, engineers, and environmental stewards! 🌟
