The Votes Are In!

Our young voters got a firsthand look at the election process this week! Students filled out their ballots, cast their votes, and waited to see which would win: a Dance Party or a Movie Party! 🎉🍿🎬

Along the way, students learned about voting, making choices, and how every vote counts!

And the winner is… 🥁 MOVIE PARTY! 🎬🍿

What a fun way to bring civic responsibility and democracy to life for our youngest learners!

💛 Mrs. Arend’s 2nd graders are growing as learners and friends! From creating “family bracelets” and reading with their 5th grade buddies in Mrs. Pritchett’s class to messy oobleck investigations, partner fluency practice, and Bee-Bot place value coding with Mr. Ortman, each day brings something new.

They’ve even adopted a calf named Mango and will follow her growth throughout the year! 🐄📚🤖

Together, they’re becoming stronger readers, writers, mathematicians—and kind, compassionate classmates.
