🎉 Tech Teacher for the Day: Gabe Austin! 🎉 Today we had the absolute best guest take over the Technology Classroom—Gabe Austin, who earned this experience by purchasing Tech Teacher for the Day at our Fall Festival Auction! And let us tell you… he did not disappoint! 💻✨ Gabe jumped right in by preparing computers for our classes and making sure everything was ready for students to learn. He passed out Clever badges like a pro, helped fix tech problems around the room, and kept everything running smoothly! But he didn’t stop there… 🎬 He created his very own stop-motion video, and then turned around and taught another group of students how to make one too—what a leader! 🎄 To top it all off, he added his creative touch by decorating the Technology Classroom Christmas Tree. It looks amazing! We are so proud of Gabe and the hard work, leadership, and creativity he showed today. 💙 Way to go, Tech Teacher Austin! 🚀💻✨

🥧🎉 Pumpkin Pie Taste Test in Ms. Hutchins’ Class! 🎉🥧 This week our kindergarten Cubs in Ms. Hutchins class had a deliciously fun time! Students tried pumpkin pie and voted on whether they liked it or not… and guess what? Almost everyone gave it a big thumbs-up! 👍😄 This tasty activity let our Cubs practice being Effective Communicators as they shared their opinions and Empowered Learners as they made their own choices. Learning is always sweeter when we love, learn, and lead together! 💛📚🐾

🎉💙 More fun from our 67th Day of School celebration! 💛🎈 Many classrooms got creative with academic activities centered around the numbers 6 and 7!
