Pritchett families gathered for a fantastic inaugural Family Book Club! It was a beautiful reminder of how food connects us to our cultures and to each other. 📚✨

The discussion centered around the delightful story, "Bilal Cooks Daal." Participants enjoyed reading the book together and then shared meaningful conversations about the special and important foods in their own homes. We even used colorful lentil beans to create mosaics 🎨 reminiscent of the daal Bilal cooks in the story!

Thank you to the amazing organizers, Ms. Boznos, Mrs. Takeuchi, and Ms. Blair, for planning and hosting such a warm and engaging program.

Mrs. Simon's talented choir students brought the concert practice right to the District Office! 🎹 She rolled the piano into the Board Room and gathered around to perform a special preview for their upcoming concert.

It was a joy for our staff, including their former principals and other district leaders! They enjoyed being a part of the audience and cheering them on. It's moments like these that truly connect our schools to the district office. Way to make a #D102Impact. Thanks for the incredible performance! 🌟👏 #EveryDayEveryStudent

Students in Mrs. Solvsberg and Ms. Campbell's classes completed writing pieces about personal identity! They explored what shapes them as individuals, connecting their self-discovery directly to essential storytelling skills. 🧠

Our young writers crafted incredible narrative pieces, focusing on the five core elements of a great story: Character, Setting, Plot, Conflict, and Theme. It's amazing to see them connect their personal journeys with masterful writing! 🎉 #102Impact #D102 #EveryDayEveryStudent

There was explosive fun in Ms. Atkinson's speech group! 🎃🌋 Her students completed an amazing, hands-on pumpkin volcano activity! They mixed baking soda and vinegar inside a carved pumpkin to create a bubbling chemical reaction! ✨

It was an interactive way to practice some key speech and language goals: sequencing ➡️, following multi-step directions 📋, and articulation 🗣️.

The students loved being involved in every step, especially the measuring! They left group time with explosive smiles! 😄

Structured Playtime Fun! ☀️🤸‍♀️
Kindergarten at Pritchett and Tripp starts every morning with valuable structured play! 🏫 Our teachers intentionally teach playground rules 🚦, teamwork 🤝, and expectations for classic games like Tag, Red Light/Green Light, and Duck, Duck, Goose. 🦆

They also dedicate time to learning how to use all the playground equipment safely! This intentional approach boosts essential motor skills and helps our youngest learners build cooperation, confidence, and social skills that are key for classroom success! 🚀 #EveryDayEveryStudent #D102Impact

Mrs. Feder's art class at Pritchett kicked off the year with an awesome shadowing project! Our students became 3D masters, learning multi-step skills: swirling colors, careful cutting, expert layering, and adding that final 3D shadow effect to make their favorite paper crayons look like they're standing right up! Way to go, artists! 🥳 #EveryDayEveryStudent #D102Impact
