For weeks, little Ivan has been beaming with pride, sharing stories with his kindergarten classmates about his big brother, Luis, who is a soldier serving in the National Guard. This week, those stories came to life.
Luis dropped by for a visit, and the look on Ivan’s face said it all. We are so grateful for Luis’s service to our country and so happy we could witness such a sweet moment. 🇺🇸❤️

It looks like Ms. LaVergne's first-grade class is taking matters into their own hands! After waiting patiently, they decided to get proactive and build amazing, festive elf traps today. Their biggest question: What on earth is taking our elf so long to arrive?! 🤔 We hope their traps work soon!

Mrs. Brooklyn's 4th Grade Class Throws a Birthday Bash for Mississippi! 🥳 We took a break from the ordinary to celebrate the history and statehood of our beloved Mississippi!
From reviewing key facts about our capital to discussing important state symbols, the students had a blast learning while celebrating. The best part? Birthday treats, of course! It’s amazing what a little cookie cake can do to make history come alive.
We love learning about the Magnolia State! 💙

📏✨ 3rd Grade Mathematicians at Work! ✨📏
Mrs. Doyle's 3rd grade math students are diving into area this unit! Students were given different shapes and challenged to build them using various sizes of unit squares. After creating their shapes, they counted the unit squares to determine the area.
We loved seeing their hands-on problem solving, teamwork, and “aha!” moments as they discovered how area changes with different units. So proud of their hard work and growing math skills! 🙌📐

🌘✨ 5th Grade Science Fun! ✨🌒
Our 5th graders had a delicious hands-on lesson as they used Oreos to model the phases of the moon! 🌕🌗🌑
Students learned how the moon appears to change shape as it orbits Earth, then created each phase by carefully carving the cream from their cookies. 🍪🔍
Learning is always sweeter when you can snack on it afterward! 😄🌙
