In Mrs. Everett’s PreK class, students sampled two different types of cookies and then graphed the results!
They counted how many friends liked each cookie, figured out which one was liked the most, and which was liked the least.
Now that’s some sweet math!

After enjoying "Hair Love" by Matthew Cherry—a sweet story about a dad doing his best to create a very special hairstyle for his daughter’s very special day—our PreK students shared some “hair love” of their own! Here's Mrs. Everett's and Mrs. Allen's class matching colors, stringing beads, and practicing counting while building fine motor and math skills.
Mrs. Connelly’s 4th grade ELA class knocked it out of the park with their Unit Reading Challenge! Students confidently presented how they determined the central idea of a text, carefully annotated relevant details, and then tied it all together by summarizing each paragraph in their own words. Their hard work, thoughtful reading strategies, and clear explanations truly showed how much they’ve grown as readers and thinkers. Way to go, 4th grade—keep reading strong!
