We are in the home stretch of Charlotte's Web. What is your favorite part so far? Mine is seeing the friendship between Wilbur and Charlotte. They are completely different, and yet they don't let their differences keep them from becoming best friends.

Let's keep things going with Chapter 18. https://vimeo.com/1163365840/da84a1898c?fl=pl&fe=sh

What do you think? Do you talk to animals? Do you think they can understand you? What about animals talking to each other? Dr. Dorian says, "If people talked less, animals might talk more". What do you think that means?

🎵Music isn't just a subject—it’s a universal language that builds community, boosts brainpower, and gives our students a voice.

From the first squeaky notes in elementary recorder class to the breathtaking performances of our high school ensembles, music is the heartbeat of our hallways. This month, we celebrate the dedicated educators who inspire our students and the young musicians who fill our schools with harmony!

Today's reading is Chapter 14: Dr. Dorian. Can you guess who that might be or what role he might play in the story? Let's keep reading to find out.

Recently in Ms.Volos 5th grade science, students investigated physical and chemical weathering using sugar cubes! 🧊🌎
Students observed how forces like wind and water can physically break down rocks, while also seeing how substances like water can cause chemical changes that weaken them over time. Science is always sweeter when it’s hands-on! 🌎🔬
