Vocabulary came alive in the classroom today! Mrs. Sparks and Mrs. Duncan hosted a gallery walk where students explored vocabulary as if it were a work of art. They didn’t just memorize definitions-they connected, analyzed, and dug deeper into meaning. Our classroom transformed into a museum of knowledge, making learning both creative and engaging. What an amazing way to stretch our thinking and build lasting connections with words!

This is your chance to share your creativity and sell your handmade items in a fun, family-friendly space, and best of all, at no cost to you! Sign-ups are in-person, and those who sign up for the event will receive a permission form for parents to sign in-person.
