🗣️ Word of the Week: DESCRIBE 🗣️
Let’s paint a picture with our words! This week, our focus is on the word Describe.
Definition: To tell or write about something; to give a detailed account of what something looks like, sounds like, feels like, or implies.
How can we practice this week?
Students: Don't just say "It was fun." Describe what made it fun! Was it the loud music? The fast game? The funny jokes?
Parents: At dinner, ask your child to describe one specific thing they learned today using 3 adjectives.
Staff: Challenge students to use descriptive language in their answers—let's move beyond "yes" or "no"!

Science ROCKS in Ms. Barberena’s class! 🪨✨
To dive deep into the formation of sedimentary rocks, our students put down the textbooks and picked up 3D Doodler pens! 🖊️💡
By using 3D technology, students were able to physically build their own rock models layer by layer. This hands-on activity helped them visualize exactly how weathering, erosion, and compaction work together to create sedimentary layers over time. ⏳
Check out these masterpieces! Who knew geology could be this high-tech? 🖥️⚒️
