🍂 We couldn’t leave you hanging over Thanksgiving break… so third grade practiced writing from different points of view!
Today’s assignment: “How would you feel if you were a leaf about to fall?”
Answers ranged from excited 🍁 to terrified 😱 to just here for the free ride. 😂

Second grade visited Texas Roadhouse last week! They ran relay races, painted rocks, opened mini restaurants, and listened to a story. No one spilled anything, broke anything, or lost anything… which officially makes this a miracle.

Our 6th graders explored band instruments with Lakeside Jr. High last Friday! They were excited, enthusiastic, and very committed to making some kind of sound. Music? Debatable. Fun? Absolutely.

PM2 Testing will begin when we return from Thanksgiving break. Please make sure your student is present and on time the day of their scheduled test.

Massive thanks to @ClayEducationFoundation for stocking our Success Block with amazing novels! The kids are officially obsessed—some even asked if we could extend Success Block just so they can keep reading.
