Classroom 206 students learned how to make butter! They poured the ingredients into jars. Then they took turns shaking the jars until the butter was done. It was a lot of work shaking the jars, but they had so much fun! Once the butter was done, they enjoyed it on some crackers and bread. Yum!
Our Learning Adventures Preschool students love zooming around during indoor recess! This activity helps practice balance and coordination, along with imagination skills as they pretend play.
With Thanksgiving upon us, each Discovery class wrote what they were thankful for on a feather to build a Thanksgiving turkey! A few of the things that our students are thankful for: sunshine, pets, earth, Veterans, oxygen, moms, school, water, shelter, sports, doctors, coats, vacations, and Madden football (lol). We are SO thankful for our amazing students and wonderful Discovery community!

Classroom 301 did “Pumpkin Math” with the help of parent volunteers! The class split into groups and each group was given a pumpkin. The groups:
- estimated how many seeds were inside the pumpkin.
- weighed it.
- measured its circumference.
- counted by 10s and 100s to find the total number of seeds.
Afterwards, the groups carved their pumpkins and weighed them again to find the weight difference.
