Elementary students made the best of indoor recess during these cold winter days by turning classrooms into spaces full of laughter and creativity. Board games, drawing, and building activities kept busy hands and smiling faces engaged. Even without going outside, students showed great teamwork and imagination while enjoying time with friends. Indoor recess proved that fun can happen anywhere when students have positive attitudes and creative minds.

This last week the Entomologist’s of Camp Wanink shared their expert knowledge of bugs with Mrs. Maleski’s first graders. Mrs. Waninks' class worked SO hard on their informational books and it shows! She was so proud of them!
Shout out to Mrs. Maleski’s first grade friends for being GREAT listeners.
And an additional shoutout to Mrs. Malloy for helping the students create absolutely BEAUTIFUL covers for their books during art class.
It was a true team effort in showcasing all of this hard work and knowledge!
