🔥🚒 Our First Graders Are Fire Safety Experts! 🚒🔥 This week, our first graders combined Fire Prevention Week with their Life Skill of the Week — learning all about safety and preparedness! They discussed fire stations, discovered different types of fire trucks, learned about fire prevention, and planned what to do in case of a fire. We’re so proud of our young learners for becoming more confident, responsible, and ready to stay safe! 👩‍🚒👨‍🚒🧯

🧬 SuperSTEM Fun for 3rd–6th Graders! 🦣🐦 This afternoon, our 3rd–6th grade students explored an exciting SuperSTEM lesson! They learned how scientists are using preserved DNA to bring back extinct animals, then studied the dodo bird and woolly mammoth in depth. Students chose which animal they would bring back and wrote thoughtful rationales for their decisions. They then gathered data from classmates, created colorful bar graphs to show results, and finished by designing persuasive posters to convince others of their choice. It was a fantastic day of critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration in STEM! 💡📊✨

🌿🦋 Meet Lori, our favorite Monarch guardian! Every summer, Lori has a very special mission — collecting monarch butterfly eggs from milkweed. From May through September, she carefully gathers eggs as part of the Central Illinois Monarch Butterfly Task Force. These butterflies will begin their incredible journey, migrating from Canada through central Illinois and all the way to Mexico this fall. We’re so grateful to be a small part of this amazing cycle of nature — and thankful for people like Lori who help protect these beautiful creatures year after year. 💛

Our first graders are learning important life skills this year, and this week’s focus is knowing when and how to call 9-1-1! They were excited to welcome Deputy Hastings to the classroom today. He shared what it’s like to be a deputy, answered student questions, and even read his favorite book. Thank you, Deputy Hastings! On Friday, TAZCOM will be visiting to give a whole-school presentation on this essential skill. What a great way for our students to learn safety and responsibility!
