Want to hear some incredible discussions and see students leaning into each other for support as they tackle some tough work problems?! Step into 3rd grade math in Cougar Nation! Way to go, 3rd grade! 🧠👏🐾

🧠✏️ Math thinking in action! Our 5th graders took their learning to the vertical think boards—collaborating with peers, solving problems, and then putting their mathematical thinking into words. We’re building mathematicians who don’t just find the answer—they can explain how they got there! Writing in math is awesome! 🧱➗✖️ #BuiltForThis

Mrs. Busby's Cougars practice math skills & teamwork during station time! 💪🧠🐾

🥚🔬Mrs. Smith’s class learned about chemical changes with a hands-on egg experiment! Students observed an egg before and after heat and discovered that cooking it is a chemical change because it can’t return to its original form. 🧪 Best of all—they got to eat the experiment! 🍳😋

🔎👀 Authority Figures: FOUND! ✅ Our 1st grade Cougars took Social Studies on the move with an Authority Figure Scavenger Hunt around campus! 🐾 Students searched for the people who help lead, support, and keep our school running each day. ❤️🖤 Learning is always more fun when you get to explore! 🏫✨

5th grade detectives were hard at work this week-using properties of matter to find the guilty suspect! 🕵️‍♂️🧪

A huge thank you to Rose Heights & The Woods Baptist Church for loving on our staff this week! Donuts, drinks, and our monthly birthday cupcakes...YUM! 🍩🧁
