🎶🎷 Swinging into learning! 🎷🎶
This spring, first graders in Mrs. Litchkowski’s, Ms. Imbrogno’s, Ms. Boylan’s and Ms. Richards’ classes had the exciting opportunity to learn about the world of jazz with guest musician and music teacher Mrs. Tara Middleton from Philadelphia, alongside our own music teacher, Mr. Naples! 🎵✨
Students explored the many elements of jazz through scat singing, improvisation, rhythm, and creativity. They learned jazz standards such as Watermelon Man and discovered the contributions of legendary jazz musicians like Cab Calloway and Herbie Hancock. 🎤🎹
Jazz encourages creativity, listening skills, and self-expression, and our students did an amazing job finding their own unique musical voices! 🎶👏
A special thank you to Mrs. Middleton and Mr. Naples for providing this memorable musical experience and helping our students develop an appreciation for this uniquely American art form! ❤️🎺

🎉🎓 End-of-the-Year Fun in Mrs. Luvender’s Kindergarten Class! 🎓🎉
As the school year winds down, Mrs. Luvender’s class has been making memories and celebrating all they’ve accomplished! 🌟
Students enjoyed a special 🎲 Board Game Day, playing favorites like Hi Ho Cherry-O, Candy Land, Connect Four, and Paw Patrol Pop-It. These games helped build teamwork, turn-taking, and problem-solving skills while having lots of fun!
🎩 The young artists also showed off their creativity by decorating colorful hats to wear and enjoy.
🍬 One of the most exciting activities was the “Party in a Bag” exchange! Students decorated brown paper bags and filled them with sweet treats, salty snacks, chocolate goodies, and a surprise treasure. Then, they played a fun game of Hot Potato 🎶🥔—when the music stopped, the bag in their hands became theirs to keep!
What a wonderful way to celebrate a year filled with learning, friendship, and growth. Way to go, kindergarteners! ❤️📚✨

🌸🌱 Kindergarten is growing BIG ideas in the STEM Lab! 🌱🌸
Students in Mr. Lombardo and Mrs. Kelly’s kindergarten classes took the traditional spring flower project to the next level by using hydroponics to grow beautiful snapdragons and zinnias! 🌼💧
But the learning didn’t stop there! Our kindergarten gardeners also helped grow several types of lettuce and greens in the hydroponic garden, including leafy vegetables used to make fresh salads today! 🥗🥬 Students were excited to harvest their crops and enjoy the results of their hard work with ranch or Italian dressing.
Through this hands-on STEM experience, students learned about plant growth, responsibility, healthy eating, and how hydroponic systems can grow plants without soil. The STEM Lab has been blooming with curiosity, teamwork, and springtime fun! 🌷☀️👩🌾👨🌾
A special thank you to Mrs. Reza and Mrs. Luvender for coordinating this amazing project and helping our young learners grow both plants and STEM skills! 💚

🦋✨ What a butterfly-filled adventure in Mrs. Zambetti’s Second Grade Classroom! ✨🦋
For nearly 35 days, students became real-life scientists as they observed caterpillars transform through the amazing process of metamorphosis into beautiful butterflies! 🐛➡️🦋 Students tracked daily changes, charted growth, listened to stories, watched videos, sang songs, and lovingly cared for their tiny classroom visitors along the way. 🔬📚🎶
The fun even included a friendly game of Butterfly Jeopardy! 🏆💡
Today was release day, and while our butterflies spread their wings and flew away, a few seemed pretty comfortable staying with their second grade friends a little longer! ☀️🌸🦋
