Mrs. King’s 8th graders took Science outside today with a good old-fashioned game of Tug of War! With our special guest Dr. Batkins!
Students got to feel the push and pull of balanced and unbalanced forces and see how friction plays a role—all part of our motion unit. Lots of teamwork, laughter, and hands-on learning made it a win for science and fun!





Cheez-Its + Math = The Perfect Combo!
Ms. Nelson’s class took learning square roots to a whole new level in the Cheez-It Lab! Students used the tasty squares to build, count, and discover how numbers fit perfectly into squares. Who knew math could be this delicious?

¡Qué divertido! Yesterday our Spanish students learned about La Tomatina, the famous tomato festival held every year on the last Wednesday of August in Buñol, Spain! To bring this cultural celebration to life, students had their own "food fight" using paper tomatoes - all the fun of this Spanish tradition without the mess!
It's amazing how language learning comes alive when we explore the rich traditions and festivals from Spanish-speaking countries. Our students not only practiced their Spanish but also gained a deeper appreciation for cultural celebrations around the world.
