The students in Ms. Novack’s room got a real treat! They performed their reader’s theater in front of a professional actor! Marie from Chicago Med offered amazing feedback and gave the fourth graders some tips, such as using your voice to show emotions and different ways to move your body to show a setting (like how your body might move if you are sitting on a bus). Thanks to the wonderful fourth-grade performers and Ms. Novack for the invitation!

Super proud of these first graders who read to Ms. Darlene, our Health Coordinator, and Ms. Kim, the office. It can be hard to read out loud, especially to an audience, but this group did it calmly and happily! We are very pleased by the growth in confidence these first graders have shown.

We are celebrating students who are living out Habit #6: Synergize® from Leader in Me!
These students understand that together is better. By listening to others’ ideas, valuing different perspectives, and working as a team, they create solutions that are even stronger than they could make on their own. 🤝✨
Whether collaborating on class projects, solving problems on the playground, or encouraging teammates, they show that true leadership means working with others, not just alongside them.
We are so proud of the way our students combine their strengths to achieve great things!
