The kindergarten kids were hard at work on Fun Friday








The 5th & 6th grade classes received a wonderful gift this week, funded fully by a retired teacher in Dripping Springs, TX . She funded the grant that was submitted through donorschoose.org, and we received 15 copies of the book "The Wild Robot." We are excited to read the story that inspired the movie coming out in theaters at the end of September!


4th Grade started their unit on ENERGY in science today. Our investigation involved figuring out what is needed to light a bulb!




Exploring the wonders of science with curious minds, our 3rd grade scientists are on a mission to make learning fun with this gallery walk around the classroom! They brainstormed what a scientist was and also discovered some new types of scientists along the way!





5th grade brainstormed and redesigned their egg protection systems. They were allowed one additional item. Some met the success parameters, some continue thru the design process
