🦖 Learning Like Real Paleontologists! 🦴
Our first grade DLI students were fully immersed in hands-on learning in both English and Spanish while exploring the fascinating world of fossils!
First, students created their own dinosaur fossils, learning what paleontologists discover and the stage in which fossils are found. Then, they stamped animals and plants into clay to model another way fossils can form and to better understand how this process happens in real life.
Next, students became true paleontologists by carefully excavating fossils from a “rock.” Their rock was a chocolate chip cookie, and they had to slowly carve out the chocolate chips just like scientists carefully uncover fossils in real life. 🍪🔎
Finally, we wrapped up our exploration by enjoying a delicious “Layers of the Earth” pudding, where students identified and named each layer while learning about Earth’s structure. 🌎
What a fun, engaging, and delicious way to learn about science! Our young scientists did an amazing job investigating, discovering, and thinking like real paleontologists. 👩🔬👨🔬✨

Congratulations to the members of February's SRO Club! Thanks for showing great character!
This week, Mrs. Boggs' class wrapped up an exciting and educational Presidents unit! The students spent time learning about five different U.S. presidents and their important contributions to our country.
To put their new knowledge to the test, the class participated in a mock election and voted for their favorite president! It was a fun and interactive way for the students to practice democracy and see the power of their vote!

Students in Mrs. Oelker’s DLI classes spent some time learning about Cesar Chavez and his important work advocating for farmworkers. They discovered how he used his voice in English to speak with farmers and in Spanish to connect with workers --- bringing people together through language.
These incredible DLI students put their own bilingual skills to work by answering questions in their CKLA workbooks in BOTH Spanish and English! We are so proud of their hard work and dedication. Look at them go! 🌟

Our Kindergarten Dual Language Immersion students are making powerful connections across languages through Rachel the Shy Jellyfish!
🩵 In Spanish, students used the story to explore emotions, build vocabulary, and strengthen social-emotional skills.
📚 In English, we bridged the same text to sharpen our CKLA focus on digraphs, turning phonics practice into meaningful, connected learning.
One story. Two languages. Endless growth.
This is what authentic bridging looks like—building confident, compassionate, and biliterate learners every day! 🌎💙

This week, Mrs. Clark's afternoon class has been talking about the Winter Olympic games. What better way to end this discussion than to experience our own? Together, with Ms. Smith's class, we held an opening ceremony, tried speed skating, hockey, downhill skiing, and finished the day with a presentation of medals, certificates, and an Olympic torch snack! Our students really showed great sportsmanship, care for others, fairness, and fun!
