We wrapped up our All About Me unit with a fun Show & Tell. Each child filled a bag with their favorite things and proudly shared them with the class. It was such a joy to learn more about our friends and celebrate all the unique little things that make us who we are! 💛
🍎 Mrs. Thomasson’s class had a blast with some apple-themed fun today!
🧪 First, we predicted and tested: Do apples sink or float?
🍏 Then came the taste test – which do we like better, green or red apples?
2nd grade is full of learning, discovery, and smiles! ❤️🍎💚

More pics from 1st Grade-Human Body Unit
After wrapping up their Human Body Unit, our first graders scrubbed in and stepped into the “operating room” today! Dressed as young surgeons, they rotated through a variety of hands-on stations that combined learning with a little medical fun. Students mended “broken bone” CVC words, performed beginning sound heart surgery, examined letter X-rays, and carried out sight word operations. Math skills were also put to the test as they completed number bond surgeries, organized a ten-frame supply inventory, sequenced numbers in order, and pieced together body system puzzles. It was a day full of curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking—our little doctors-in-training were hard at work!
🇺🇸 Mrs. Cook’s kindergarten class learned about 2D shapes while creating American flags in remembrance of September 11th. ❤️🤍💙 As they talked about community helpers, the students were excited to thank Officer Marshall in person for her service! 👮♀️✨

Ms. Gandy and Mrs. Stewart’s 2nd Grade Class
As part of their science unit on the states of matter, students took part in a hands-on experiment to explore how a liquid can transform into a solid. Using just a few simple ingredients, students made ice cream and observed the freezing process in action—turning science into a fun (and delicious) experience! 🍦🧊🍨
