Today's Seven Mindsets lesson focused on creativity. The kids had a blast using various-sized paper and popsicle sticks to create amazing projects, either as a team or individually. Their imagination was truly inspiring!
In ELA, our 4th graders are exploring connections with Alvin, the main character in Alvin Ho, who is afraid of everything from wasabi to school. To engage with Alvin's fears, students tried wasabi peas to see if they would add wasabi to their own list of fears.

The 4th grade math detectives in Ms. Cook’s class had an action-packed day! When the classroom supplies were mysteriously cursed, the students took on the role of detectives, working in groups to uncover the culprit. They received suspect lists and math worksheets in their case files as “clues.” Each worksheet provided valuable information to help them eliminate suspects. By the fifth clue, they successfully solved the mystery and identified the culprit.
Today was the first day for our PK 3, PK 4, and kindergarten students! Check out some of their smiling faces!
