What a week! Coming off of 5th Grade Camp and 4th Grade Market Day, and having 6th Grade @ Kings Island and visiting Liberty and Hopewell Junior Schools, we are really moving and shaking! Our students did a wonderful job completing their MAP assessments and were able to have a little extra time outside enjoying playing with their friends in the sunshine.
We are looking forward to 4th Grade's Field Trip and some classroom and school celebrations next week. A reminder, our last day of school for students is Thurs., May 22nd.
Have a wonderful weekend!

A recent unit all about empathy in fifth graders’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) special at Independence Elementary started with this question: “How do we make kindness normal?” Their response spurred a school-wide celebration of “Random Acts of Kindness Week” that had every grade level doing their part. It's exactly the kind of response SEL teachers expect out of the new curriculum they are piloting this year, which approaches each lifelong skill from a different angle at each grade level.
