We appreciate Officer Threatt!
Our Kindergarten students showed they appreciation with a poster and basket of goodies for Officer Threatt.




Ms. Rallings 3rd Grade Friends were spreading positive affirmations about their friends.
Who said Valentines can’t be educational?
During our Valentine rotations we sorted & graphed candy hearts. We did a sink or float activity to see if our candy hearts would sink or float in sprite, water, & vinegar.
We also made a valentine days “love potion” to help start our unit on fractions.
Last but not least, we made friendship bracelets to show our love for our friends.
