Our Pre-K scientists had a blast learning about push and pull with balloons and their big breaths!

Who knew learning about force and motion could be this much fun? Future physicists in the making! Giggles + learning = the perfect combo.

Our ALE students spent this week learning about friendship—how to care for one another, work together, and celebrate what makes us unique. They wrapped it up by making a fun “friendship mix,” because friendships are better when shared! #SCUCproud

First grade is full of future scientists! Students dug into the world beneath their feet as they explored soil through hands-on investigation. Through questioning, touching, and comparing, students observed different types of soil, discovered tiny living things, and learned how soil helps plants grow. Learning is best when we dig right in!

Meredith Aldis from Fox 7 News made a special visit to her mom’s class, Ms. Aldis’s classroom, and brought the exciting world of TV news to life! She gave students a behind-the-scenes look at who works in television news, what a news reporter does each day, and shared some of the fun, memorable stories she’s had the chance to cover. Students were engaged, curious, and thrilled to learn what it’s like to be part of a fast-paced newsroom and see how stories make it to the screen.
