Primary Studio

Happy Friday, Primary Families!

It was wonderful seeing many of you at last night’s Parent Appreciation Event! I always love getting the chance to share stories in person about your child’s adventures and growth throughout the school year.

This week, we finished reading Book #19 of the Magic Tree House series, Tigers at Twilight, which beautifully wrapped up our exploration of Asia.

The heroes learned that, thanks to conservation efforts, the Indian One-Horned Rhino is no longer endangered. However, they also discovered that tigers remain highly endangered and discussed thoughtful ways humans can help protect these incredible animals. The compassion and thoughtfulness these young heroes show continues to amaze us every day. 💛

Next week, we will begin exploring Australia and Oceania!

We hope to see many of you at tomorrow morning’s graduation ceremony!

ES Blue Studio

ES Blue continued their deep dive into famous physicists such as Isaac Newton
 and Albert Einstein.

This week, learners worked hard creating their own scientist profiles, and they are excited to share them with families during Exhibition next week!

The heroes have also been putting tremendous effort into mastering:

  •  Waseca work 
  •  Math goals 
  •  Other learning milestones 
All with the goal of earning more free work opportunities in Session 7.

ES Green Studio

This week, the ES Green heroes finalized planning for their upcoming May Party, with learners volunteering to bring supplies and food items for the celebration.

The cottage also celebrated several major badge completions, including:

  •  Math Badges 
  •  Reading Badges 
  •  Writing Badges 
Huge congratulations to these hardworking heroes!
