Kindness starts with understanding one another.💛 Our 2nd graders recently welcomed Gretchen Dodgion, mom of their classmate Madzie and a Nurse Practitioner who who trains health care professionals how to care for people with Down syndrome and other disabilities. Gretchen read a book and spent time talking with students about Madzie and the many wonderful things that make each of us unique. The conversation grew from students wanting to learn more about how to be thoughtful, inclusive and supportive friends. Together, they explored the importance of celebrating differences, showing kindness and recognizing that everyone has their own strengths and superpowers. Students will also have the opportunity to take home books about Down syndrome to continue the conversation with their families. We love seeing our students grow in understanding, kindness and care for one another. #WorldKindnessDay #weloveck

📚Our students have been loving their visits to the newly reopened library and tech space! To celebrate, one of our 6th graders created a special display featuring books with blue and yellow covers! We love seeing the excitement of finding a new book and watching this space become a favorite spot for our students. We’re so grateful to everyone who donated to help bring this space to life. Your generosity is helping create a place where curiosity grows, new interests take shape, and a love of reading can flourish!💙💛 #weloveck

Our 4th graders took their learning beyond the classroom with a field trip to the Ice Age Trail at Lapham Peak! After learning how glaciers helped shape Wisconsin’s landscape, students got to see those landforms up close and explore the features they had been studying. Back in the classroom, they put that knowledge to work by creating their own salt-dough landforms, bringing Wisconsin’s glacial history to life in a whole new way. A great combination of exploration, creativity and hands-on learning! #theckdifference
