Expectation #4 says, "We will cheer each other to success."
As you can see, our kindergarten students take this expectation seriously, as they cheer each other on, on the playground monkey bars!

Pre-K loves puzzles!
Did you know: A puzzle teaches young children about the concept of a 'whole' and that each piece is a fraction of the bigger picture. It also helps develop basic skills such as shape recognition, concentration, goal setting, patience and a sense of achievement.

For their first activity in the Innovation Lab, 5th graders worked on spatial awareness within the lab, effective communication, collaboration, and problem solving as a team while playing the “Knot My Problem” tangled rope challenge.
Teams had to untangle a rope while sticking to very specific guidelines. Everyone in the group had to have both hands touching the rope at all times while trying to untangle the rope.
If someone accidentally removed a hand, the team would have to start over. Students were encouraged to come up with a strategy before starting, use positive dialogue to communicate ideas, and to try different strategies until they figured out how to untangle their rope.
At the end of the activity, we discussed the importance of collaboration and communication within teams.
