Mrs. Barry's First Graders

Mrs. Barry’s first graders had a cool time waddling into their latest research project — penguins! From nonfiction facts to fictional fun, these learners explored what makes these flightless birds so fascinating. They read, watched, wrote an informative class book, and even compared fiction vs. nonfiction by retelling “Penguin in Peril” in their own words.

Mrs. Scott's Kindergarten Class

After a week of diving into all things sea turtles, Mrs. Scott’s kindergarten class got a awesome hands-on experience! To help compare and contrast sea turtles and tortoises, special guests Toby and Tyko—two adorable Russian tortoises—stopped by for a visit, thanks to Mrs. Scott’s daughter Kaelin and Mr. Scott!  Students loved observing their claws and watching them come out of their shells to explore and make some new kindergarten friends.

Mrs. Benavides Fourth Grade Class

In Mrs. Benavides fourth grade classes, students have been diving into the fascinating world of energy—and discovering that it can’t be created or destroyed, only transferred! They became junior engineers by building their own flashlights using button batteries, aluminum foil, and LED bulbs—complete with a tricky challenge: designing a working on/off switch!

Ukulele Performance

Music was in the air at Tuesday night’s Board of Education meeting! Mr. Schwall, our Stingel music teacher, highlighted his talented fourth-grade students as they strummed out "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" on their ukuleles!

Mrs. Ditty's First Grade Class

Mrs. Ditty’s first grade class transformed their room into a gigantic, multi-biome ecosystem for their animal presentations—and the Ditty-0’s absolutely rocked it! Each student chose an animal, dove into research using National Geographic and library books, and wowed families with fun facts, classification details, diet, habitat, and more!

Ms. Puckett's 3rd Grade Class

In the weeks leading up to the ELA state test, Ms. Puckett’s third graders were on a mission to STOMP the test—and they did it with determination, heart, and a whole lot of fun!  From writing about how they'd conquer the test, to comparing and contrasting stories, to sharing their Peep adventures after a Friday egg hunt in their classroom.
