Our 3rd grade class hosted their Marketplace today! 💵 All week students focused on creating a business plan to make and sell one type of item, price it based on labor and materials, and create a logo, menu and store front signage. Every item sold was 100% student made using 100% recycled materials found in our classroom.

This was a great way to wrap up our curriculum because it covered producers and consumers, budgeting, making change, speaking and listening skills, supply and demand, recycling, reducing waste, product design, problem solving and more! So proud of our creative, innovative, and eco-friendly entrepreneurs (most of them sold out too!)🛍️♻️

Miss Platt bringing history to life!

Our 4th graders traveled back to 1849 as they learned about the California Gold Rush through a hands-on gold panning activity! Students experienced the excitement, challenge, and uncertainty miners faced while searching for gold in California’s rivers and streams. 💰

Yesterday, our 4th graders experienced the wonder of Yosemite National Park, and for many students, it was their very first visit. What a magical day it was!

The excitement on their faces as Tunnel View came into sight was pure joy. Students explored breathtaking waterfalls, spotted beautiful birds and deer, and witnessed the incredible landscapes they have been studying in geology and California history come to life right before their eyes.

From towering granite cliffs to the power of flowing rivers, Yosemite became an outdoor classroom full of curiosity, discovery, and unforgettable memories. We are so proud of our students for their enthusiasm, kindness, and sense of adventure throughout the trip.

Our Kindergarten class had the opportunity to visit the AIMS Maker Studio earlier this week.

Today our 3rd graders brought history to life during our French-Canadian Trading Post simulation! As part of our study of the routes and expeditions of seven European explorers, students learned how Samuel de Champlain found success through his fur trading expeditions in modern-day Canada.

Students each created four handmade items to barter with and used trading mats to practice making peaceful and fair trades. Through the simulation, they could accept, request for addition items, or decline the trade. They also experienced how trading helped explorers/settlers and Native Americans build relationships and share valuable items they might not have in their home countries. We loved seeing their creativity, teamwork, communication, and excitement as they connected history to hands-on learning! 🛶🍁✨
