A few weeks ago, Ms. Sain's third graders earned the final “petal” on their positive behavior flower — which meant it was time to celebrate with an apple cider party! Students learned how apple cider and apple butter are made, read a cozy fall fiction story about apple cider, and even taste-tested some apple-flavored treats. What a sweet reward for their hard work and positive choices! #thePark






Mrs. Addy's second graders worked hard every day this quarter! They learned where they live in North America. They wrote clues for classmates to guess which jack-o-lantern belongs to them. Partners worked together to sequence a story. In math, students played games to hone their math skills.







Ms. Sullivan's Orioles Attendance teams' winners of best attendance of the week!


Ms. McCombs and her first graders have been working on counting collections. They chose the number of tens and ones to add to their candy corn, and recorded it on their sheet. Some yummy sweet candy corn was had after the craft! 🫶🏼🎃🍁






These 4th-grade ELs are learning about decimals in math. Hands-on activities and the use of manipulatives like base-10 blocks help ELs visualize and better understand more complex mathematical concepts like decimals. While they're learning the concepts, they're also learning the academic vocabulary and language needed to talk about decimals. #ThePark








🎃 Ms. Hayes' class did a fun pumpkin seed challenge! 🧡 First, students estimated how many seeds were inside our pumpkin. Then, we counted them by groups of 10. After all the teamwork (and a little mess 😅), we discovered our pumpkin had about 635 seeds! 🌟👏










🌟 Kindergarten is full of learning adventures! 🌟
Ms. Bogert’s students had a blast going on a Letter Hunt around the classroom—finding letters, matching sounds, and working together to build literacy skills in fun, hands-on ways. 📝✨
💡 Every smile tells the story of curiosity, teamwork, and discovery!

Fall fun is in full swing in the library this week! 🎉
Our PreK and Kindergarten friends are on a mission to solve a leafy mystery — they’re reading The Leaf Thief and trying to figure out just who’s been sneaking off with those autumn leaves!
Meanwhile, 2nd and 4th graders have been enjoying stories and snuggles with our favorite four-legged reading buddies, Lily and Marquis 🐶 — because books are even better when shared with furry friends!
2nd–5th graders are getting into the spooky spirit with monstrously fun books and are unleashing their creativity to craft the cutest monsters you’ve ever seen!
And let’s not forget our awesome 1st graders — they’re loving The Scarecrow’s Hat and making their own shape scarecrows that are as clever as they are cute!
It’s a whirlwind of mystery, monsters, and imagination — just another magical week in the library!

To wrap up a great week last week at #ThePark, Ms. Prentice's students are enjoying Fun Friday! As part of their positive behavior rewards system, students who make positive choices earn fun activities—and today’s game inspired by Connect Four is both engaging and meaningful.
The goal is to promote emotional awareness and healthy expression. Students practice identifying feelings and sharing how to express them in positive ways—all while having fun with their classmates.
