Our 4th graders are in full inventor mode! 🛠️✨
This week they dove into our new unit, Eureka!, collaborating to design and build models of famous inventions — the telephone, airplane, microscope, clock, radio, and paper. Students practiced teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering while learning the stories behind each invention.

FIRST award of the night goes to… US! Sportsmanship Award out of over 250 Iowa teams. These dancers don’t just show up—they show what it means to lead with kindness. Caring Comets through in through! 💙☄️

PBIS assembly success! 🌟
Today we learned about being bucket fillers (not bucket dippers) — kindness is our focus this month. We also celebrated meeting our canned food drive goal — thank you, families and students! As a fun classroom reward, one student per class got to silly‑string Mr. Ryan. 🎉

If we reach our puffball goal this month, we'll celebrate with hot chocolate and a movie — keep filling those buckets! ☕🎬
