National Donut Day 4th graders in Mrs. Taylor's class honed their power of persuasion with a donut advertisement project. What better way to celebrate this day and learn about the art of advertising! Much fun (and sugar rushes) were had! | ⭐⭐ Written in the Stars ⭐⭐ 2nd graders in Ms. Gertz's class ended their camping unit by learning about constellations. They even used spaghetti noodles and marshmallows to replicate a few. Of course ,the best part was eating the marshmallows afterwards. | Mrs. Pietrangelo's Class These kindergartners were treated to a read-aloud by Brooks, a first grader. The students were so excited to hear all about first grade! What a special treat for all of them. |
