Our 2nd and 3rd graders have been diving into early Missouri history—exploring everything from the Louisiana Purchase to Missouri achieving statehood! 🇺🇸
Students collaborated to build a living timeline of key events, strengthening their understanding of how our state came to be. They wrapped up their learning with an engaging gallery walk, sharing insights, asking questions, and learning from one another.
We love seeing history come to life through hands-on learning and student collaboration!

This week our 7th graders dug into science—literally! 🪱🍫
They made “dirt cake” to explore fossil layers and understand how scientists study Earth’s history. Each layer told a story, just like real sedimentary rock!
