When the school’s social worker and learning coach realize that donuts make everything better, they go & make a regular Friday morning even more exciting! Staff was encouraged to bring in donuts from their favorite bakery to share! Thanks Ms. Rubin and Mrs. Sutton! 🍩 #21Learns

Miss Debbie from the Raupp Museum came to the 4th grade classrooms on Monday. Students learned more about Westward Expansion. The students even got to simulate packing a covered wagon for a journey west. #21Learns

4th graders are learning about robotics with our new Edison robots. In these pictures they are experimenting with creating lines for Edison to follow after scanning a barcode. There has been a lot of great collaboration and critical thinking already! #21Learns
