During Black History Month, our artists are having fun painting colorful zinnia flowers inspired by Clementine Hunter 🎨🌼
The art room is full of bright colors, big smiles, and lots of creativity! Students are learning about Hunter’s artwork while making their own flower masterpieces. We think they turned out pretty AMAZING 🌸✨
✨ Math in Action in Kindergarten! ✨
Students in Mrs. Johnson’s kindergarten class practiced building the numbers 11, 12, and 13 using double ten frames and cubes! 🔢🧩
After creating their numbers, students shared with the class what number they made and explained how they built it. For example: 1 group of ten and 1 extra cube makes 11! 👏
Hands-on learning like this helps our kindergarteners strengthen number sense, build confidence, and practice explaining their math thinking. We are so proud of their hard work! 💙📚
#FrattFalcons #KindergartenMath #HandsOnLearning #NumberSense
✨ Learning in Action in Ms. Kaplan’s Class! ✨
Our students in Ms. Kaplan’s class have been hard at work practicing math in a fun, hands-on way, using circles to help with counting! 🔵🔴🟡
Visual learning like this helps build strong number sense while keeping students engaged and confident. We love seeing our Falcons learning through movement, color, and creativity! 🧠📚
Keep up the great work, mathematicians! 💙 #FrattFalcons #LearningInAction #MathFun #HandsOnLearning

Today is Internet Safety Day. Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is a horrific crime that targets some of the most vulnerable people in our communities — children and teens. Resources for education, prevention and intervention of CSEA can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/know2protect
If you know of an incident, you can report it at the bottom of any Know2Protect webpage, by calling 988 for crisis support or 911 for an emergency.
The attached list provides ten steps you can take to prevent CSEA and create a safe digital experience for your child.
