🍂 Mrs. Rosenberg’s class traveled way back in time today! Students learned what life was like as hunter-gatherers 🏹. It wasn’t easy—imagine not always having enough food to eat or even breaking bones while hunting for survival. Our Wildcats got a glimpse of just how tough life was in the earliest days of human history! 🐾✨

✨✉️ Email Etiquette in Action ✉️✨
Mrs. Newman’s ELA students put their editing skills to the test today! 📚 They reviewed a sample student-to-teacher email, spotted errors, and discussed how to make it more professional and polite. 🖊️
Learning how to communicate clearly and respectfully is just as important as grammar and punctuation—and our Wildcats are doing an awesome job practicing both! 🐾💻
