I think we ALL want to be invited to Mrs. Kelsie's 6th grade math class! Students used ratio scaling to alter a master cookie recipe, baked their batches, and ate the results! Talk about a sweet lesson.

Report cards are heading home today! Check those backpacks tonight or ask your student to hand theirs over so you can review their latest grades and celebrate all their hard work. Report cards are a great moment to reflect on their achievements, set new goals, and stay connected on their progress. If you have any questions or want to discuss how to support your child’s learning, please reach out directly to their teacher. Let’s keep working together for a great school year!
