The 3rd and 4th graders read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White and created puppets of the characters along their reading adventure. The last two days they created a script for a play. They also used their artistic skills to make their play settings come alive by making backgrounds. Today they performed their play for classmates and the 5th and 6th graders. They sure are Terrific, Radiant, Humble, Some Students!

V is for Hawaiian Vacation Day! We may not be in Hawaii, but today definitely felt like it! Students showed up in their best tropical gear—think leis, shades, and lots of aloha spirit.

Today the 6th graders enjoyed the traditional celebration lunch off campus with Mrs. Lettow. This year’s group chose Buffalo Wild Wings, and all had a great time! Thank you, Miss Kathy, for driving us. Congratulations on your years at Spring Lake, 6th Graders! 🎓 You are special to us!

Look what we hatched! Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders watched the eggs in the incubator, counted down the days, and finally got to see the chicks hatch. So much excitement, learning, and cuteness!

Our 3rd-6th graders enjoyed their final SuperSTEM engineering challenge this afternoon. Students were given the task to use a limited amount of straws, tape, string, and a cup to create a tower with a free-moving suspended bucket that holds weight. Students used multiple trials and tweaks to build the best tower to hold the most weight. These young scientists are indeed super!

R is for Rest and Relaxation! Yesterday was R Day in our ABC Countdown, and first grade focused on taking a deep breath and slowing down. We practiced yoga together, stretching our bodies and calming our minds. It was the perfect way to relax, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful moment during our busy countdown to summer! Namaste!

Our K-2 royals shined bright for Queens and Kings Day, and they looked absolutely majestic! From sparkling crowns to regal dresses, our K-2 students embraced the spirit of the day with creativity and pride. Long live the imagination of our little kings and queens! 👑

Our kinders enjoyed popsicles for P Day!

O is for Outside Reading! Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders grabbed a buddy and a book and took their reading outside for O Day of the ABC Countdown! Sunshine, stories, and smiles made it the perfect way to celebrate reading and friendship.

Check out our 3-6th grade engineers testing out their bridge designs today in SuperSTEM. The students enjoyed brainstorming how to test their creations.

May Menu Change: Monday, May 5, and Tuesday, May 6 will be switched.

Our 5th and 6th graders had a sweet time today as they checked off another fun activity on our countdown calendar—“I: Enjoy an Ice Cream Treat!” Students cooled down with delicious ice cream while completing hands-on learning stations all about the Gold Rush. Did you know the Klondike Gold Rush (1896–1899) was one of the most frenzied and challenging gold rushes in history? The Klondike Bar uses the name to evoke a sense of cold (Yukon territory) and richness (gold). Which made the kids ask, "What would you dooooooooo for a Klondike bar?"

Students and families enjoyed a variety of games and activities that kept the energy high and the smiles going. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the day so special!

Shoutout to our 5th and 6th grade readers! They crushed it this year — 100% of the class earned the reading field trip AND exceeded their personal goals! To celebrate April’s AR success, they partied with games and ice cream cones. Drum(stick)🍦 roll, please...... So far this year, these reading champs have racked up over 1,520 AR points! Keep turning those pages, superstars!

Our K–2 students brought the energy today as they danced their hearts out for G: Get Groovy and Dance Day! From twists and turns to happy hops, the smiles were contagious and the grooves unstoppable.
