Creativity took shape in third-grade art at Butterfield! 🎨

Students from Mrs. McLean’s class took on the paper square challenge in Mrs. Sather’s art class, transforming simple squares into unique designs and patterns. Some students even took the challenge into three dimensions with their own 3-D creations!

A fun way to bring creativity, problem-solving and artistic expression together.

What makes a prime number so special? Copeland Manor fourth-graders are discovering the answer for themselves!

Students in Mrs. Vipond’s class rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on activity from the Bridges in Mathematics curriculum, using tiles and grid paper to construct area models and visualize factors and multiplication.

Next, students will analyze their arrays to determine which numbers can form only one unique area model, leading them to discover an important mathematical concept: prime numbers have no factors other than 1 and themselves.

Hands-on exploration + visual learning = math that makes sense!

Fourth graders in Mr. Jarosz's class at Butterfield are putting their problem-solving skills to work!

Using the CUBES strategy, students broke down complex word problems, identified key information and explored different ways to find a solution.

The best part? Seeing the variety of strategies students used and hearing them share their thinking with the class!

What makes a super-muscled cow so muscular? Highland Middle School eighth-grade scientists are on the case!

In Mr. Liu’s science class, students dove into the OpenSciEd genetics curriculum to investigate an interesting biological puzzle: why do organisms like Belgian Blue cattle grow extra muscle?

Working in collaborative lab groups, students examined muscle tissue at different scales, using hands-on investigation to explore genetics through a real-world phenomenon.

Curiosity, collaboration and scientific discovery in action!

Learning together in kindergarten at Butterfield!

Kindergarteners in Mrs. True’s class worked in small groups to practice tracing squares, taking turns and encouraging one another along the way.

The activity gave students a chance to strengthen their fine motor skills and shape recognition while also practicing teamwork and cooperation!

Which hand do you use for a handshake? Copeland Manor kindergarteners have a clever way to remember! 🤝

Students in Mrs. Alvarez’s class practiced an important social skill, learning to shake hands using their right hand while remembering this trick: the hand that is “left” over is the left hand!

Kindergarten interventionist Mrs. Richards then joined the class for a story and engaging phonemic awareness activities focused on rhyming.

From confident handshakes to rhyming words, these kindergarteners are building new skills every day!

Creativity and plenty of laughs filled CKLA time in Mrs. Whirry’s fifth-grade class! ✏️

Working in small groups, students put a collaborative spin on writing dialogue. Each student added a line to a conversation before passing it along to a classmate to continue the story.

When it was time to read their finished conversations aloud, there were plenty of smiles and laughs around the classroom!
