Barf Bag Science!
Our Biology students put the scientific method into action today with a hands-on yeast investigation. Students tested different food sources to see which one yeast preferred. They made a hypothesis, identified their independent and dependent variables, collected data, and then used their evidence to determine whether their hypothesis was supported. They discovered that yeast loved the sugary Coco Krispies loaded with sugar. A little messy, a lot of learning, and definitely a memorable day in Biology!
4th grade science worked together to see how kinetic energy is affected by increasing the heigth of a ramp.
🔴🟡🔵 Celebrating International Dot Day! 🔵🟡🔴
On Tuesday, September 15th, our first graders celebrated International Dot Day! Inspired by The Dot, our class worked together to show creativity, courage, and a willingness to try something new. ✨
It was so much fun watching the first grade classes encourage one another, think creatively, and discover that even the smallest dot can make a big difference! We are so proud of the courage and creativity they showed! ❤️🟠💚

Homecoming for the Structured Learning Center (SLC) class and Unified Special Olympics crew was a busy and fun week!! ❤️🤍💙 (Did you all know that a barber invented the game of Uno in 1971? Our history lesson came to life with a Uno challenge!)
The Structured Learning Center (SLC) students have been BUSY! They've started all of their work experiences (Food Pantry & Leader Courier) , project skills (Goodwill), transition program (VENTURE @ Camp High Hopes) and in school jobs! There isn't enough room to type out ALL the things being learned from these; let's just say we are learning from each other, about ourselves and everything in between!
Lots of wind and lots of trial and error, but we made it!!!!
The Homecoming football game tonight vs DV will be broadcast on YouTube by Fuller Digital Solutions and Jeff and Kendall on the call. Kickoff is 7 pm. Here is the link to the YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@elkpoint-jeffersonhuskies8883
