Ms. Daddario's 1st grade class opened their very own Market Day!
From the first "sale" to the final closing bell, Market Day was an absolute blast.
🌟 Business Was Booming!
Our 1st graders took their roles seriously, and it showed. We saw:
💰 Master Mathematicians: Counting out change like pros.
🤝 Expert Negotiators: Using their best "customer service" voices.
🎨 Creative Creators: Selling everything from handmade suncatchers to jewelry.
🧠 Lessons Learned
While it looked like all fun and games, these students were actually putting some big concepts to work:
Economics 101: They learned the difference between wants and needs.
Social Skills: They practiced eye contact, clear communication, and patience.
Financial Literacy: Balancing "budgets" and seeing their hard work pay off!






🏅 GOING FOR THE GOLD IN PE! 🏅
The spirit of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics has officially taken over our gym! Athletes traded their sneakers for "skis" and "bobsleds" as we competed in our very own Winter Games. ❄️🏃♂️
Students have been representing countries from all over the world 🌎 while testing their skills in:
⛷️ Slalom Skiing – Navigating the "slopes" with incredible balance!
🥌 Curling – Strategy and teamwork were on full display at the rink.
🏒 Ice Hockey – Some future MVPs in the making!
🛷 Bobsledding – Speed, coordination, and a lot of laughs.
It’s about more than just the "medal count"—it’s about sportsmanship, trying new things, and Dreaming Together! ✨ We are so proud of how our students supported their teammates and cheered for every country. 👏
Check out these snapshots of our winter champions in action! 📸👇
