Dater students absolutely light up when they spot their former teachers from Tisdale and Hubbard visiting the building for their professional learning. Their faces fill with excitement as they run over to say hello, eager to share how much they’ve grown. These sweet, unexpected reunions are a beautiful reminder that the connections built in those early years truly last. 💙💛🐏
Learners in 4Horton became historians yesterday, investigating the items traded between Europeans and Native Americans and analyzing their impact. They thought critically about who benefited most and supported their ideas with evidence. So proud of their thoughtful discussions and insights!
Don't you love when learning feels like a game? 4O'Hern students did trivia to reinforce concepts they learned before break -- what fun! 🛎️🧠😀

After exploring, researching, and building a model of the human brain, GATE students participate in a "scent blind" taste test. By limiting their sense of smell, students challenge themselves to identify flavors while relying on only a small part of their olfactory system!
4Guarnieri engaged in a "table talk" conversation to collaborate, and deepen their analysis within their historical fiction book clubs! Students chose which big question to respond to, demonstrating accountability for their contributions. Throughout their conversations, they applied critical thinking skills to understand key events and character motivations. They also built upon their peers' ideas using evidence from the text. I am so proud of them!
