🖤🐾 PANTHERS ON THE PROWL! 🐾🖤

Our Panthers have shown INCREDIBLE growth on the ATLAS Interim Assessments — and we could not be more proud! 💪📈

Across Math, Science, and Literacy, our students are rising to the challenge, growing their skills, and proving that hard work truly pays off.

✨ So many students demonstrated outstanding growth.

✨ Hundreds of total points gained.

✨ Strong percentages of students making measurable progress.

This didn’t happen by accident. It happened because of:

✔️ Focused instruction

✔️ Intentional practice

✔️ Encouraging teachers

✔️ Supportive families

✔️ Determined students

Panthers, you are doing the work — and it shows! 🐆🔥

We are so proud of the growth we’re seeing now, and we cannot wait to watch that hard work shine on the ATLAS Summative this spring. The best is still ahead! 🌟

Let’s keep pushing. Let’s keep growing. Let’s stay on the prowl.

Last week, 4th grade Literacy classes wrapped up their American Revolution Unit. 🇺🇸
-To showcase their learning, students researched historical figures from the Revolution and created informative posters.
-Some students also completed a 5-week writing project where they read vignettes, took notes, and typed their work.
-They also took social media back to the Revolution. Students created a “social media” post as if they were living during the Revolution - combining history and imagination in the best way!
We are so proud of their effort and creativity! Ask them who they researched and what their post said! ✨

Reading can take you places! Mrs. Smith's 3rd grade Next Level Book Club students dove into a mystery set in Chinatown, so we brought the story to life! The kids explored the culture by learning how to use chopsticks while enjoying some delicious ramen along the way. Learning has never been so fun! 🍜🥢

Ms. Soulmani's and Mrs. Bynum's 4th graders went beyond the American Revolution to explore the broader Age of Revolutions! They welcomed Mr. David Hernandez, Rider Resident at Freshman Academy, who was accompanied by Ms. Harris, World History Teacher.

Mr. Hernandez taught about Enlightenment ideals and how students can embody those principals through strong school citizenship. Using a "Wonder, Learn, Act" framework, students connected historical movements for freedom and rights to positive actions they can take in their own school and community bringing history to life in a meaningful way!
