In Science, Mrs. Lugavere's students had a great time exploring the different sizes of the planets. Students had to follow step-by-step directions to create the planets out of play-dough and were amazed at just how much BIGGER the Gas Giants are compared to the Terrestrial planets.



Our 3rd grade students had an exciting and educational visit from the Chesapeake Fire Department! Firefighters shared important fire safety tips, demonstrated their gear, and answered students’ thoughtful questions. The visit emphasized how to stay safe during an emergency, when to call 911, and the importance of having a family fire escape plan. The students especially enjoyed seeing the fire truck up close! Thank you to the brave men and women of the Chesapeake Fire Department for keeping our community safe and helping our students become fire safety smart!
