❄️🌨️ Snow Much Learning in 4th Grade GT! 🌨️❄️
With the blistering cold weather upon us, our Fourth Grade GT students turned the season into an exciting learning opportunity! 😄🧠
Students have been exploring precipitation and blizzards as part of their natural disaster learning — discussing what causes severe winter weather and how it impacts people and the environment. 🌬️🌡️
At the same time, they’ve been sharpening their math skills by studying:
📏 Lines of symmetry
📐 Types of angles (acute, right, obtuse)
To connect it all together, students participated in a STEM Challenge where they designed and created their own unique snowflakes that demonstrate both symmetry and angles! ❄️📐✨
These creative designs were not only beautiful — they were packed with learning and critical thinking!
👏 A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Lewis for inspiring our students to explore, create, and achieve through meaningful hands-on learning experiences! 💛💙🐬
📸 Check out their amazing snowflake creations below!

😎✨ My Future is So Bright… I’ve Got to Wear Shades! ✨😎

Last week, students wrote powerful 2026 Vision Goals — focusing on what they want to achieve, how they plan to grow, and the kind of leaders they want to become. 📝🌟
Then they brought their visions to life with amazing projects of themselves wearing sunglasses and shirts that read:
👕 “My Future is So Bright! Check Out My 2026 Vision!”
Their projects are full of personality, determination, and hope — and we are SO proud of their hard work and thoughtful goal-setting!

🌟 Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then Be Understood 🌟
Habit 5 means listening first before talking.
At school, students learn to use their listening ears, watching eyes, and kind hearts to understand others.
When we listen:
👂 We don’t interrupt
👀 We look at the speaker
💬 We use kind words to share our thoughts
Pre-K to 5th grade, students practice Habit 5 by taking turns, respecting feelings, and learning that everyone’s voice matters. This habit helps build friendships, solve problems, and grow strong leaders—at school and at home!
👨👩👧 Family Connection
Families can practice Habit 5 at home by:
✔ Listening without interrupting
✔ Asking questions to understand
✔ Taking turns speaking
Together, we grow better listeners and stronger leaders! 🌱
