Students in 8th grade science, used their knowledge of electricity to make light up/pop up Mother's Day cards!
Yesterday's 5th grade science fair was a huge success! 🎉 It was amazing to see all the hard work, creativity, and enthusiasm from students. Everyone enjoyed learning about the unique projects and experiments. A big thank you to all the students for their dedication!
Mr. Herrin’s class has spent the past few weeks exploring the life cycle of chickens and learning all about embryo development. We studied how embryos grow, how eggs are fertilized, and even discovered some fun facts—did you know there are over 1,600 chicken breeds around the world? The students were thrilled to find out they’d be helping raise chicks right in the classroom! Today, we moved our newly hatched chicks out of the incubators—check out these adorable photos! 🐣
And to top off a fantastic day at the District 118 Math Challenge, our first graders got to celebrate their hard work with a special treat from McDonald’s!
Some of our talented first graders had the exciting opportunity to participate in the District 118 Math Challenge today. It was a fun and rewarding experience for everyone involved!
