Math meets real life! Sixth graders are exploring ratios in real-world applications and showing off their brilliance. During Red Ribbon Week, they’re proving that being focused and drug-free never goes out of style. #sthelenawinning
Our teachers are growing stronger through Professional Learning Communities, role-playing how to deliver lessons with excellence. We’re modeling what it means to lead with purpose. #sthelenawinning
Our sixth graders are showing that smart is the new cool—using science to draw models that explain motion and force while celebrating Red Ribbon Week. At St. Helena, we know drugs are tacky and learning is classy! #sthelenawinning
Pajama Day reading doesn’t mean rest—it means RACE! Learners are using the RACE strategy to craft strong written responses: • Restate the question • Answer it completely • Cite text evidence • Explain their reasoning #sthelenawinning
Today we said “yes” to dreams and “no” to drugs for Red Ribbon Week! Even though it’s Pajama Day, fifth graders are wide awake and working hard! Learners are recording observations on the growth of their plants as they strive to answer their phenomena question.#sthelenawinning
