This week, our 4th graders took on division by using base ten blocks to divide three-digit dividends with partial quotients! Hands-on learning helped students visualize the division process, deepen their understanding, and build confidence in their math skills.
📸 Check out these mathematicians in action!
Today, Mrs. O’Bryan’s 3rd graders were fully engaged as they dove into their texts with focus and determination! 🔍 Using the CER Model (Claim, Evidence, Reasoning), they carefully analyzed the material and crafted thoughtful responses that highlighted their growing critical thinking skills. 📝
The learning didn’t stop there—students collaborated with their peers, sharing ideas and building on each other’s insights. 🤝 It was inspiring to watch them support one another and learn together!
This week's teacher spotlight goes out to Mrs. Hodges. "I am so grateful for Mrs. Hodges! She co-teaches with me daily, and is always there to support me and our students.

We are so lucky to have you, Mrs. Hodges!" -Mrs. Dixon

This week's student spotlight goes out to Julia Altez. "Julia jumped right in to help during reindeer games without hesitating when I lost my voice! She took over and made it so much fun for kindergarten and 1st grade students. She showed patience, compassion, and kindness to all of the classes that came into the gym for their game. She even hopped in to be a part of the game with them. Thank you so much, Julia, for stepping in to help me while making it fun for all the other students at the same time! " -Mrs. Boston
