Week six brought a grounded rhythm β friendships growing, routines solid, and curiosity leading the way. From primary through upper elementary, students explored fall nature walks and ant investigations, strengthened addition and division, tested sink-or-float hypotheses, launched procedural writing, enjoyed music and buddy learning across grades, and closed the week with an At the Zoo Field Friday.
Primary, lower elementary, and upper elementary each followed fall observations into science, math, writing, and outdoor play.
