Ms. Seavers’ third graders joined Ms. Shaw in the library for a collaborative lesson on determining and explaining the theme of a story. We love seeing our students think deeply and work together! 📚💡
🌕✨ Ms. Shaw’s 4th and 5th grade students explored the phases of the moon in a fun (and delicious!) way — using Oreo cookies! Hands-on learning makes science both memorable and tasty! 🍪🌓🌖
