🗺️🌎 Mapping Our Way to Success! 🌎🗺️
Mrs. Keaton’s 5th Grade GATES intervention students wrapped up their map study unit with an exciting day of hands-on map stations! ✈️📍
Students put their geography skills to work as they:
🇺🇸 Created maps of the United States, labeling states and capitals
🌎 Built their knowledge of world geography by mapping countries around the globe
🧠 Played Guess in 10: U.S. States to practice critical thinking and geographic reasoning
⛰️ Designed their own topographical maps to explore elevation and landforms
From identifying locations to creating maps of their own, our students explored geography through creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving! We are so proud of their curiosity and learning! 💙🌍

😁 A smile for your Saturday!
One of our favorite parts of Hispanic Heritage Month is sharing traditions, stories, and of course, the amazing food! These homemade alfajors were an absolute hit with the kids, just look at those happy faces.
There’s really nothing like authentic, homemade recipes made with love to bring everyone together. Safe to say we’ll be dreaming about these sweet treats for a long time! Classic recipe, timeless joy. ✨❤️

🎃 Fall Fun Friday in Action! 🎨🌾
Our artists in Mrs. Edward’s class had an absolute blast bringing these adorable scarecrows to life today! They started with a step-by-step directed drawing to map out our scarecrow friends, and then brought them to vibrant fall color using watercolor paints.
From colorful hats to happy button eyes, every single scarecrow turned out unique and full of personality! Sweaters, sunflowers, and autumn colors galore...their classroom is officially feeling like a cozy fall day.
Swipe through to check out our talented young artists at work and their wonderful masterpieces! 🍂🍁✨

Mrs. Williams’ 2nd grade classroom is feeling EXTRA grateful! 💙📚
A very special THANK YOU to the Boston branch of Barwick Banking Company for adopting our classroom and loving on our students in such a BIG way! 🥰
They have blessed our classroom with supplies for our STEM bins, paper, new puzzles, crayon holders, treats for our treat jar, and so many other things that make our days more fun and our classroom run a little smoother! 🧩✏️🔬
It means so much to know that people in our community are willing to invest in our students and help give them opportunities to learn, create, explore, and grow. But even more than the supplies, we appreciate the thoughtfulness and kindness behind every single thing they have given us. ❤️
David Inman, Jill Thomas, Raye Strickland, and Fabiola Salmeron — thank you for pouring into our classroom and helping make our 2nd grade year so special! We are truly grateful to have you in our corner! 🥰

Story Time & Science Fun in Ms. Weed and Mrs. McGuire's Class: Pumpkin Jack! 🍂
Ever wonder what happens to your jack-o'-lantern ? ✨
In the classic children’s book Pumpkin Jack by Will Hubbell, a little boy named Tim watches his carved pumpkin, Jack, slowly decompose in the garden over winter. But come spring, something amazing happens: Jack’s leftover seeds sprout into brand-new pumpkin vines! 🌱
It’s a wonderful, cozy story that teaches kids all about life cycles, decay, and how nature renews itself.
🔬 Try This at Home: The "Pumpkin Jack" Decomposition Jar
Don't throw away your carved pumpkin or seeds this season. Turn them into a hands-on science experiment!
What You’ll Need:
A clear plastic container or mason jar with a lid
Leftover pumpkin pieces, seeds, and guts
Soil from the yard
A small splash of water
How to Do It:
Fill the Jar: Layer soil, pumpkin scraps, and seeds inside your clear jar.
Moisten & Seal: Add a tiny splash of water so it's damp (not soggy), and screw the lid on tightly.
Observe: Place the jar in a sunny window sill.
Track the Changes: Have your kids keep a mini photo journal or notebook to draw what happens each week!
Over time, they'll watch the pumpkin mold, decompose, and eventually sprout new green leaves right before their eyes just like Tim and Jack! 🌿✨
Have you ever saved pumpkin seeds to plant in your garden? Let us know in the comments! 👇
