In Mr. Harms’s fifth-grade classrooms, students are tracking how shadows change in size and shape throughout the day. The outdoor observations help them explore Earth’s movement, light and measurement.
In the school library, Mrs. Rubio’s new makerspace and STEAM stations encourage students to build, design and solve problems independently. The activities combine science, technology, engineering, art and math through hands-on exploration.
For Hispanic Heritage Month, Ms. Wisniewski’s fourth graders partnered with Ms. Millerick’s first graders to explore Hispanic countries and traditions. Students shared stories, artwork and cultural facts, giving older children opportunities to lead while helping younger students learn alongside them.
“Whether our students are tracking the sun, building in the library makerspace, or learning about diverse cultures from one another, we are committed to making learning active and meaningful,” said Principal Mrs. Jones. “Seeing students of different ages work together and take ownership of their curiosity is what our school community is all about.”
