🏀✨ A Dribbling Dose of Inspiration! ✨🏀
On Tuesday, our students were treated to an unforgettable assembly with youth motivational speaker Corey Rich, a former Harlem Globetrotters performer!
Through incredible ball-handling skills and high-energy storytelling, Corey shared powerful lessons centered around the “4 R’s” for success:
✔️ Respect

✔️ Be Ready to Learn
✔️ Reading is Power 📚
Our students were engaged, inspired, and left with meaningful takeaways they can use both in and out of the classroom.

🚜🎨 History Came to Life for Our 3rd & 4th Graders! 🎨🚜
Our 3rd and 4th grade students had an unforgettable trip to the Fenimore Farm & Country Village in Cooperstown!
Students stepped back in time as they explored the history of farming, blacksmithing, and early medicine, gaining a hands-on understanding of how people lived and worked in the past. 🔨🌾
They also tapped into their creative side with a fun “reverse painting” activity—proving that history and art make a great team! 🎨✨
And of course, no trip would be complete without a ride on the Empire State Carousel, adding a little extra excitement to an already amazing day! 🎠
It was a day full of learning, creativity, and smiles—one our students won’t forget anytime soon! 😊

⛳🏫 Golfing Into Great Learning! 🏫⛳
Last week in PE, our students had the chance to try something a little different—golf instruction! From learning proper grip and stance to practicing their swings, students showed focus, patience, and plenty of determination.
It was great to see everyone stepping out of their comfort zones, encouraging one another, and celebrating each improvement along the way. Who knows… we may have a few future golfers in the making!
A big thank you to everyone who helped make this experience possible. Learning new skills like this is what makes PE so much fun! 🏌️♂️✨

🌟📚 Busy Days in 1st Grade! 📚🌟
Our first graders have been scientists, explorers, and real world problem solvers all in the span of two days.
February 26th, we welcomed Hanford Mills to our classroom. Students learned how water can carry pollution into lakes, rivers, and oceans. Then they rolled up their sleeves and put their skills to the test, working to clean polluted water and protect our environment. Future environmental heroes in the making. 🌎💧
February 27th, 1st grade took their learning on the road to the Kaleidoscope in Mount Tremper. Students experienced how light bends and reflects to create dazzling patterns and designs. It was more than just beautiful visuals. It connected directly to our Lights, Sounds, and Communication and States of Matter science units.
They are discovering how light interacts with different materials, how sound and visuals help us communicate, and how science shows up everywhere in the world around them.
Hands on learning. Bright ideas. Big curiosity. ✨
