Some of these include an Entrepreneur Fair, an area and perimeter unit where students will create a garden for our school, and a 5th Grade Writing/Art showcase.

Students at the Early Learning Center enjoyed going on Leprechaun hunts; searching for the pot of gold. Ms. Katie's class found all the clues with rhyming words and their pot of gold was hidden in the classroom. Ms. Krista and Ms. Jessica's class is learning to add and subtract with dice and Cat in the Hat.
Students are enjoying taking a book home to read with family from our Lending Library. Our Lending Library was made possible through the WHAS Grant and we are thankful for their support.

Foster Heights 1st grade students in Mrs. Miles and Catanzarito's class participated in passion projects requiring them to research a topic of their choice and present their learning to their peers and Foster Heights families.
