A few moments from last week! It was Red Ribbon Week & Student Council did a great job teaching the littles about "saying no to drugs" while we had fun dressing up!










Love it 😍 when they discover that all that "skip counting" we do every day.... it's simply called .... MULTIPLICATION ✖️ 👏 they know times tables and didn't even realize it! (I seriously have the BEST job ever by the way!) ❣️❣️❣️ LOVE every single one ☝️ of these babies that I have had the privilege to teach!!! Love, Mrs. Melvin

1st grade wrapped up their unit on the human body by becoming doctors for the afternoon! They were able to explore x-rays, body system puzzles, and stretchy organs. They used light to x-ray words, and of course they had to play a classic game of Operation. Special thanks to our big kid friends (and Mrs. Tay) who kept our stations running smoothly.
