RES 5th graders put their science skills to the test during their study of genetic traits! Students investigated whether they have the “super taster” trait using PTC paper. If they tasted bitterness, they carry the trait, if not, they don’t! After testing, students analyzed and graphed their results to see how many classmates carry this dominant trait. Hands-on science, real data, and lots of curiosity in action!

On Wednesday, Mrs. Byrum, our School Counselor, visited Mrs. Harrison’s 1st grade class for a fun and interactive lesson on friendship! Students learned how to make new friends, join in, and include others. Together, they created a “recipe for friendship” and practiced kind words they can use, like “Can I sit with you?” and “Come play with us!” To wrap up the lesson, students showed their learning through creative artwork. We’re so proud of their growing friendship skills! #SchoolCounseling #FriendshipSkills

Today in Mrs. Leggett’s Kindergarten class, Mrs. Byrum, School Counselor, shared an important lesson on putting INTEGRITY into practice! Students explored real-life scenarios and asked themselves the following questions: 1. What would you do?, 2. What's the right thing to do?, and 3. Would your choice change if no one was watching? We’re proud of our students for learning that strong character is built one right choice at a time! #WisdomWednesday #SEL #CharacterEducation #Integrity
