Last week in STEAM, our students had an un-BOO-lievable time exploring Ms. Amber’s STEM bins! From water beads to slime to oobleck, each sensory bin was filled with hidden surprises — think creepy crawly spiders, wiggly eyeballs, and spooky rings galore! 🕷️👀💍
The best part? Our ILC students joined in the fun, exploring right alongside their peers and showing that hands-on learning is for everyone! 💙
We’re so lucky to have Ms. Amber at Parkview — she makes Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math come alive every single week. Thank you for sparking curiosity and creativity in our students! 🌟
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must postpone our Trust for Troops event to a later date. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and support, and we’ll share the new date as soon as it’s confirmed.
Thank you for standing with us in honoring our troops.

Families can park in the CHS student parking area.
In the first game, each sound or letter was called out, the kids had to listen carefully, process the sound, and quickly locate it on their cards. The competitive nature of the game kept everyone engaged, but more importantly, it provided them with hands-on practice connecting sounds with their visual representations.
The second bingo game took things a step further by incorporating their weekly CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words along with three sight words they’ve been focusing on. Students had to identify and mark the correct words on their cards as they were read aloud. This game encouraged both decoding skills (for the CVC words) and the instant recognition of sight words—those words that don’t always follow the typical phonetic rules and must be memorized for fluent reading.
Mrs. Whittle’s 5th grade students have been hard at work in Social Studies and Science, engaging in collaborative learning stations!
Students read and discussed current events in their groups and participated in a hands-on science experiment to explore how matter changes. They investigated whether mixing substances creates a new substance and discovered how scientists use mathematics and computational thinking to prove that weight is conserved during these changes. ⚗️📚💡
What an incredible learning experience for our 5th graders — teamwork, critical thinking, and curiosity all in one! 💙

Hailing from the generous and powerful House of Altruismo, last week’s top earner was Nuevo, one of our amazing kindergarten students! 💚🖤
Nuevo’s excitement was contagious when he learned he had won! He received a Golden Token, which he used in the Book Vending Machine to choose a Scooby-Doo book—because even givers love a good mystery! 📚👻
He also picked out some House Swag, proudly showing his Altruismo spirit for everyone to see. 🖤💚
The House of Givers celebrates Nuevo for leading with kindness, effort, and heart. Way to make Altruismo proud, Nuevo—you’re shining through your generosity! 💫 #thehappyschool #PvE
