The students made a prediction what would happen if we blew water on the Skittles. Some said it would make a rainbow and others said the Skittles would move. As a class, Mrs. Garcia and Mr. Suarez talked with the students about experiments, predictions, findings and conclusions. The same thing was also done with M&Ms, but instead, the M&Ms were submerged in water and the students had to predict what might happen next.

Our 5th grade students are starting their service project in honor of the Super Bowl LI coming to Houston. We're helping to make a difference in the lives of local children this Super Bowl season.

Pre-K 3 through 1st grade were invited to do some holiday shopping at 2nd grade's St. Nick's Marketplace!

The students also discussed the benefits of giving versus receiving while selling their products to the younger students.

Read how students are creating and writing unique songs to show that composition does not need to be the culmination of years of studying music theory. Instead, they are acquiring the skills to grow as composers.

Students were given their recorders and recorder music for "Ode to Joy." Ms. Mary Ann Addis asked the students, “How would you perform this song if I gave you these beakers, a jug of water, and markers?” Read more!
