Thanks to the Illinois Ag in the Classroom book grant from the IAA Foundation, Mrs. Stout’s class had the joy of reading one of the books given, Just Ask! by Sonia Sotomayor.

Inspired by the story’s message of embracing our differences, each student created a unique flower that represents themselves to add to our classroom garden. We had such fun learning that just like flowers, we’re all special and unique in our own way.

A big thank you to the IAA Foundation for helping us plant the seeds of kindness, understanding, and self-love!

Mrs. Charlton and the rest of the kindergarten classes have been diving into all things weather this year — and this week, our classroom transformed into the town of Chewandswallow from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

Mrs. Charlton's class and Mrs. Gough’s class came together, and the students had a blast making items so it could rain donuts, pickles, cheeseburgers, meatballs, and pancakes right in our room! Learning about weather has never been so deliciously fun!

Mrs. Bortells 4th Grade Class had a fantastic day learning outside! They began with mindfulness doodling, taking a few quiet moments to let their creativity flow. Afterward, they practiced division and reviewed angles and types of lines.

The learning continued on the playground, where students searched for real-world examples of the math concepts they had just reviewed. To wrap up the day, they used sidewalk chalk to combine two real-life objects into one imaginary creation—a perfect blend of creativity and critical thinking!

It was a fun-filled day of fresh air, exploration, and hands-on learning!
