We are thrilled to share that our theme of Pawistively Brilliant is coming to life across our school, as students and staff continue to demonstrate the power of positivity, teamwork, and a growth mindset in all areas of learning. Here’s a peek at some of the exciting ways our theme is shining through!
S.T.E.M. Special: Teamwork Trails
In our S.T.E.M. movement lessons, students are engaging with the book Teamwork Trails by Kylee Kalloo. This humorous and heartwarming story about a dog emphasizes the importance of positive teamwork. Key lessons from the book, such as taking responsibility, staying positive, and being a good sport, are woven into our activities.
This week, students were challenged to work together in a movement activity where they had to move the entire class under a jump rope. It was wonderful to see how encouraging and supportive everyone was, practicing the power of positivity while tackling the challenge. The students’ ability to collaborate and lift each other up was truly inspiring!
Pawsitively Brilliant Buddies: Kindergarten & Fifth Grade Collaboration
Our kindergarten and fifth-grade buddies are also living our theme of Pawistively Brilliant. Both grades have been studying standards related to the sun, and our fifth-grade students have been working closely with their younger buddies to explore the basic principles of shadows. The fifth graders helped their buddies trace their shadows and understand how the sun interacts with different objects. It was a great example of teamwork and kindness as our older students helped their younger peers learn and grow.
Student Council Clap In
Student council also embraced the theme this week. They made encouraging signs and clapped students into the building. Their enthusiasm was contagious and started everyone's day with a smile. We appreciate how they brought our theme to life and set the tone for the week.
A Whole-School Focus
From the youngest to the oldest students, our theme of Pawsitively Brilliant truly reflects the work that happens every day across the building. Whether it’s through collaborative learning, hands-on STEM activities, or supporting one another in class projects, we’re excited to see our students embodying the principles of positivity, teamwork, and excellence.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students strive to be Pawsitively Brilliant every day!
