Sixth-grade ELA students wrapped up the year by designing creative personal trading cards featuring their unique stats, favorite quotes, and future goals. This group was a joy to teach, and it was wonderful watching them grow all year!

Aloha! First Grade celebrated the end of the year with their annual Beach Day! The teachers transformed their classrooms into a tropical paradise, complete with beach snacks and Mrs. Thompson's Tiki Hut! Students designed surf boards, participated in a surf competition, and created lifelong memories during one of their final days as a first grader. Thanks for a great year kids!

Ms. Craig’s science class recently launched into an exciting hands-on lesson while learning about Sir Isaac Newton and his Laws of Motion. During this engaging lab activity, students explored Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction through the use of fizz rockets.

Using simple materials and a chemical reaction created by fizzy tablets and water, students designed and launched their own rockets. As pressure built up inside the rockets, students observed firsthand how the force pushing downward created an equal and opposite force that sent the rockets soaring upward into the air.

The excitement was contagious as students tested predictions, observed rocket launches, and discussed how Newton’s laws apply to everyday life. Laughter, cheers, and a few surprise launches filled the classroom and hallways as students worked together to investigate the science behind motion and force.

Hands-on labs like the fizz rocket activity allow students to experience science in action while building problem-solving, applying teamwork, and using critical thinking skills. The 6th grade students had a blast combining learning and fun while discovering how physics can quite literally take off before their eyes!
