First Grade Gives Back! ❤️🐯🤍

Today, first graders at Lucy Wortham James Elementary loaded up items from their canned food drive for this year’s service learning project. Thanks to our generous Tiger families, nearly 400 non-perishable items have already been collected!

From Page to Projection: Learning with Merge Cubes! 🩻🔍📚

Third graders visited the library for a lesson that connected science and reading in a big way! After reading “Give Me Back My Bones” by Kim Norman, students explored human anatomy using Merge Cubes and iPads. Through their iPad screens, students saw 3D models of the human body appear in the room around them, giving them a hands-on way to explore and interact with what they’ve been learning.

Library experiences like this demonstrate Effective Communication, providing students with opportunities to connect ideas, share discoveries, and make learning come alive through collaboration and technology. #academicexcellence #stjschools #tigerpride
