📢 Cupcake Club Update! 🧁🍪
Mrs. Francisco’s Cupcake Club met today in the library for a sweet twist! Instead of decorating cupcakes, we switched things up and decorated sugar cookies! 🍪✨
Members watched a fun video on cookie decorating and then let their creativity shine as they designed their own delicious masterpieces. Such a fun time with our super creative students! 🎨👩🍳
Great job, everyone! We can’t wait for our next tasty adventure! 💕 #CupcakeClub #CookieCreativity #SweetSuccess

Interactive Storytelling in 6th Grade!
In Mrs Young’s Technology class, Our 6th graders are taking creativity to the next level by using Google Slides to design their own Choose Your Own Adventure stories! Through this project, they’re blending technology and storytelling, making interactive choices that lead to different endings—all while applying the English skills they’ve been learning with Mrs Berry.
This is a perfect example of cross-category learning in action! Not only are students strengthening their writing, sequencing, and problem-solving skills, but they’re also exploring digital design and interactive storytelling techniques.
Can’t wait to see the amazing adventures they create! #FutureAuthors #TechMeetsELA #CreativeClassroom
