Arlington Elementary School -

🎉 Learning was in full swing today in Ms. Walker’s 3rd grade math class at Arlington Elementary! 💬🏖️ Students dove into group discussions, bounced ideas around (literally!) with a beachball covered in question stems, and took turns describing content to their peers. 🧠💡From critical thinking to collaboration, these young scholars are mastering the art of engagement—and having a blast while doing it! 👏

🎀 Today at Arlington Elementary, we proudly wore pink to honor Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 💗 From students to staff, our halls were filled with compassion, courage, and a sea of pink—standing together in support of fighters, survivors, and those we've lost. 💪

📣 Reminder: No school for students on Monday & Tuesday (Oct. 13–14) due to teacher planning days! 📝
👥 Parents: Don’t forget your scheduled data chats with teachers next week—check your confirmed time slots with teachers and come ready to connect!

🔬🧪 Our 5th graders have been diving into science! From exciting science experiments in the classroom—completing investigations , testing hypotheses, and thinking like real scientists! Then, they took their curiosity on the road with a field trip to the Marine Science Center 🌊🐠, where they got hands-on with marine life and learned about coastal ecosystems.
