🐾 Second Grade Writers with a BIG Heart! 🐶❤️

Our second grade students recently had the opportunity to visit the Hardin County Animal Shelter, where they learned all about the important work the shelter does for animals and our community. Their visit sparked some inspiration, and our students were eager to put their writing skills to work!

Each student was assigned a dog currently available for adoption and got straight to work writing detailed descriptions to help these adorable pups find their forever homes! They used their creativity, descriptive language, and writing skills to bring each dog's personality to life. Who knows? Their writing might just help one of these sweet pups find their perfect family! 🏡🐕

A HUGE thank you to the Hardin County Animal Shelter for welcoming us into your facility, teaching us about all that you do, and providing pictures and helpful bullet points about each dog. Your support helped make this writing project extra special and meaningful for our students!

🚀🍡 Things got a little mushy in second grade science! 🍡🚀

Our second graders have been learning all about forces, pushes, and pulls this week! To bring their learning to life, they created their very own marshmallow launchers and had a blast launching marshmallows (and having a friendly marshmallow fight! 😂).

Along the way, our young scientists observed and discussed when they were using a push and when they were using a pull. Who knew science could be so much fun?!

We love seeing our students learning through hands-on experiments, teamwork, and a little marshmallow madness! 🧪🙌

🎃 Math review with a Halloween twist! 👻

Our fifth graders had a great time reviewing math with a fun trick-or-treat activity! As they correctly completed their math papers, they got to draw from a pumpkin to see if they would get a trick or a treat! 🍬 Treats meant candy, while tricks meant reaching into a mystery bag to feel creepy Halloween objects and guess what they were!

It was a fun way to practice math and add a little Halloween excitement to the day!
