The teams are set and the rivalry is already brewing at the W! Start making plans now to dress up for SUPER WEEK as we cheer our teams on to victory! Although we're focused on the Chiefs and Eagles (Go, Chiefs!), students are also free to don their own favorite teams or Taylor Swift!
Last week, our amazing fifth graders modeled the formation of canyons and deltas using a stream table! They connected the water cycle to the processes of weathering, erosion, and deposition, exploring how water shapes our planet.
Their excitement and curiosity brought these concepts to life!
(Shout out to Mr. Young, our Ready, Set, Teach high school intern!)
