Hats off to high attendance! 🎩🦅

During their library rotation, our 5th grade Eagles are diving into history—Monopoly style!
Students kicked off a fun new unit learning all about the fascinating origins and history of the classic board game Monopoly. Next, our creative learners teamed up to build their very own customized game boards! To put their critical thinking skills to work, each team had to select a unique theme—from ranking top movie sales to sorting the net worth of fashion brands and top sports teams.
Once their boards are complete, it will be time for the ultimate test: playing a fast-paced game of Speed-opoly! ⏱️💵 We love seeing our students embrace collaboration, practice strategic ranking, and have a blast while learning.
Great job, Eagles! Keep soaring to success! 🦅✨

Finding all the ways to make 10! 🦅✨
Last week, students in Mrs. Orange’s class used red and yellow counters to find all the number partners to 10! By mastering these combinations, our young mathematicians are using critical thinking to build a strong foundation for adding and subtracting even bigger numbers.
Soaking up the sun and enjoying the great outdoors! 🦅☀️✨
Our students took full advantage of the beautiful weather by spending time outdoors during recess! Being active, laughing with friends, and recharging in the fresh air is such an important part of our school day. We love seeing our young eagles build friendships and enjoy being part of our school family!

Squeezing Out Wisdom in Third Grade! 🦅
Our third graders in Miss Ludt's class recently read the book "Taste Your Words" and put its powerful message into action!
Students participated in the hands-on toothpaste challenge, where they squeezed all the toothpaste out of a tube—and then tried their best to put it back in. They quickly realized that once it’s out, it’s impossible to put back!
Through this memorable activity, our Eagles learned a valuable lesson: it is important to think before we speak because we can't take our words back. We love seeing our students grow into thoughtful, caring communicators who lead with kindness every day!
Way to go, third graders! Keep soaring high!
