Learning can be “electrifying”! Students experimented with Squishy Circuits, using special conductive dough to build simple circuits that powered LED lights. A fun way to explore STEM in action!

Mrs. Fulp/Burley’s second graders did fun activities for Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

First, they did a place value Dr. Seuss activity, followed by a Dr. Seuss "Write around the Room" activity where they practiced handwriting by finding the matching pictures around the room and writing the name in the correct spot. 

What a fun day of learning!

Ms. Thornton's 3rd grade homeroom spent some time learning about the Winter Olympics this month. Then students picked a sport and wrote about winning a gold medal. Pictured are just a few examples of student's writing and their AI generated gold medal pictures.
