🌿 Science in Action with Mrs. Young’s Class 🌿
This week, students in Mrs. Young’s class explored two exciting labs!
🔆 In the Photosynthesis Lab, students observed how light impacts the rate of photosynthesis. Using a flashlight as sunlight, baking soda for carbon dioxide, and bubbles to represent oxygen, they saw the process come to life.
💨 In the Cellular Respiration Lab, students compared the air we inhale to the air we exhale, making clear the powerful connection between the processes of plants and animals.
Hands-on learning is helping our Tigers see science in action! 🐯







Mrs. Hallman’s second grade class is diving right in to nonfiction text features! The students explored exciting nonfiction books about Marvel legend Stan Lee and beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss.
Their ultimate challenge? A Nonfiction Text Features Scavenger Hunt! Students picked a nonfiction book of their choice and went on a hunt to find all the text features they’ve been learning about this week. 📖✨
Way to go, second graders—you’re becoming nonfiction pros! 👏🐯

Working in teams, they explored key stations—hot line, prep, storage, and dishwashing—matched tools to their proper areas, and decoded real menu vocabulary. 🍴📋
Coach McLean shared, “The scavenger hunt helped our students connect career skills with real workplace spaces.”
Culinary Arts Instructor, Mrs. Cindy Hart and her students also showcased professional table settings 🍽️ and reinforced the importance of kitchen safety ✅.
The visit wrapped up with a debrief on teamwork, communication, and professionalism—skills at the heart of the Transitions course. 💡🤝

👏 Kason Pack is doing a superior job in band class! He is ahead on his Ningenious note practice and is a great example of what it means to be ready to engage.
