Even without WiFi, the learning doesn’t stop in Mrs. Crocker’s class! 📚✨ Today our students teamed up with a reading buddy or found a cozy spot to read independently. Sometimes a little break from technology is the perfect reminder of how much we love getting lost in a good book. We’ve enjoyed slowing down, turning pages, and simply enjoying the joy of reading together! ❤️📖

📊📈 Data in action!

Ms. Jacks’ class has been busy sharpening their math skills! They surveyed their classmates, organized their results using tally charts, and created bar graphs to represent their data. 📝✨

Way to go, Wolfpack—turning numbers into knowledge! 🐺

Sunshine + science = the perfect combo! ☀️🌼 Ms. Carson’s classes took advantage of the warm weather and headed outside to check on the daffodil bulbs they planted in the fall. There’s nothing better than seeing hard work start to bloom! 🌱✨ Way to grow, Wolfpack! 🐺💛

Sweet treats & even sweeter conversations! 🍦💬 A BIG thank you to our amazing 5th grade team, ML teachers, and Guidance for making today’s Ice Cream Sundae Chat & Chew such a special time for our students! ❤️ We love creating moments for our Wolfpack to connect, share, and grow—one scoop at a time! 🐺✨

I love this! Yeah, I did it! I get to go on to another lesson! I'm going to go on this every day! Yeah, bonus round! Blast off!" Today we have "ZEARNED" it by making Math learning more fun!

Mrs. Wells’ 1st graders had a special visitor today! 🐺✨ Mr. Neyman stopped by to introduce our new math program, ZEARN, and our students LOVED it! 🧮⏰ They had so much fun learning how to tell time while building skills to get ready for the upcoming iReady Diagnostic. Way to work hard, Wolfpack!
