All third and fourth graders participated in an outdoor community day filled with hands-on, engaging activities. This special time together strengthens children's social and emotional learning (SEL) skills by sharing a common experience, having fun, and making friends. All students painted rocks, played team building games, went on a nature scavenger hunt, drew their class mascot, danced to music and they even made their very own tie-dye t-shirts!

Students were so excited to share their results with each other! This type of classroom community building is so important in order to create a healthy and vibrant learning environment for all students. Look at these happy faces!

Third and fourth graders are the teachers in our student-led maker workshops. They create a class, organize materials, welcome students and share their expertise. Our talented students have so much fun sharing their creativity!
