NOVA Academy at Red Apple School students spent the last couple of weeks digging into the world of archaeology by creating their own ancient civilizations, crafting custom artifacts, and learning how scientists use evidence to uncover the past.
They put their skills to the test yesterday with a hands-on archaeological dig at Samuel Meyers Park! Classmates excavated each other's hidden artifacts and pieced together clues to decode the civilizations created by their peers.

Our 1st graders spent time today giving back to our school community by helping clean up the playground! 🌎🧹 Students worked together to take pride in keeping our outdoor spaces beautiful and safe for everyone.
They also wrapped up their butterfly unit by learning more about the butterfly life cycle before releasing their butterflies into nature. 🦋 What a wonderful way to connect learning, teamwork, and caring for our environment!
