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?"

Bridge builders in the making! This week in SuperSTEM, our 3rd–6th graders rolled up their sleeves and got to work designing and building bridges! These hands-on engineers made awesome connections to what they’ve been learning—everything from westward expansion and pioneer life to force, motion, and the mighty triangle. Let’s just say… they’re very thankful modern travel doesn’t involve rickety wagons and river crossings anymore!

Sunny skies and warm days bring big smiles to our K-2 crew!☀️

In addition to preparing to ace their state tests, our fifth and sixth grade students have been hard at work creating two impressive social studies projects. The first project involved mastering Google Slides to develop a twelve-slide research presentation on the War of 1812. Pictured here are students after presenting their slideshows yesterday. The second project focused on inventions of the American Industrial Revolution. Students researched each invention, its inventor, its necessity, and its impact. These dedicated students are excited to share their hard work with you! 💙🐾
