Place value was looking pretty tasty in 2nd grade!
Our 2nd graders practiced hundreds, tens, and ones by using food as their place value blocks. This hands-on activity gave students a fun way to build numbers, see how each place works, and strengthen their understanding of place value.
We love seeing our Zebras learn through creative activities that make math memorable!

Squish it, roll it, shape it, create it!
Our 1st graders had the best time getting creative with Play-Doh. From silly shapes to colorful creations, there was no shortage of imagination or smiles.
Play-Doh and 1st grade? It's a pretty fun combination!

Our 4th graders took a step back in time as they wrote the Preamble on parchment-style paper using real fountain pens!
As part of their learning, students worked to recreate the style as accurately as possible, giving them a hands-on look at history and the writing process in a whole new way.
What a fun and meaningful way to bring learning to life!

One way we do this is through parent-teacher conferences. Although you can request a conference at any time, the district schedules four evening dates each year for conferences.
October 8th is the first opportunity for conferences across the District.
