This week we’re making Christmas extra festive with dress-up days! 🎄 Today was Grinch vs. Elf—who do you think won?! 💚❤️
📚✍️ Students in Mrs. Watkins’ class explored the structure and style of sonnet poetry, including rhyme schemes, rhythm, and the classic 14-line format. This week, they put their knowledge into action by writing their own original poems—using creative language and poetic techniques to express their ideas! 🎨📝
🎄✨ Don't forget Christmas dress up days this week! ✨🎄
💡✨ Innovation Week Fun! ✨💡 Our 5th grade G.T. students and Creative Technology class have had a special visitor from Stemaiverse this week — Dr. Genevieve Meyer! Students have been exploring big ideas, building creative solutions, and diving into hands-on STEM activities. 🚀🔬
