Meghan Marc has accepted a Teacher's Assistant position. Ms. Marc has a Bachelor's degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Mass Communications from UCF. Her early interest in writing was sparked at just 8-years-old, when she wrote whimsical stories about friends and family, which ultimately motivated her to study writing in college. Ms. Marc is a strong advocate for literacy and wants to encourage students that the art of storytelling is powerful and amazing. She has done wonderful work as a substitute teacher, and we look forward to welcoming her to the team!
Fourth grade students are learning about their new literature circle unit in reading class!
In recognition of National Handwriting Day, 5th grade students analyzed what our handwriting tells us about ourselves, wrote thank you letters, and brought in their favorite writing tool.
Fifth grade students became graphologists and analyzed their peers’ cursive writing samples in order to compile a list of personality characteristics. Then students debated as to whether their graphology reports had any truth to it! 
Third grade students worked on designing some ideas for their upcoming Science Expo projects. If you look hard you can see steam coming out of their ears!
