Ms. Prentice's kids enjoyed a field trip to the Clifton Institute where they learned about plants that are part of a grassland ecosystem. The kids rotated through different stations where they had hands-on experiences to firm up their newly learned knowledge.

Ms. Walker's fourth grade class recently was applying the scientific method and observing the growth of their pinto beans to see if they have any sprouts forming.
Ms. Hoffman's kindergarten students enjoyed working in pairs to create sets to match numbers and then compare the sets as having more (most), fewer (least) or the same amounts.
Ms. Feld's class enjoyed a sweet treat of caramel apple pops after reading an informational recipe!
Ms. Groene's class read “Pumpkin Jack”. Then they talked about the parts of a pumpkin and how it grows. The class started their own pumpkin in a jar to see if they can watch it decompose and grow new pumpkins.
In Ms. Sims third grade, students have been working hard to represent multiplication and division use many different models, which means we get to pull out fun manipulatives and practice! #atthePark
