Ms. Latham’s Little Braves were busy building 3D shapes today using nothing but toothpicks and marshmallows! It was the perfect hands-on way to explore vertices and edges.
Who knew geometry could be this much fun (and this tempting)? Great work, Little Braves! 🪶💙

Our Reading Month celebrations reached a new high today with a very special visit from author Leland Clelland! 🌟 It was an extra special homecoming, as Mr. Clelland was once a teacher right here in Chesapeake.
He teamed up with another former teacher, Brook Archbell (illustrator), to create the inspiring book: I AM..Building a Positive Mindset for Kids! ✍️🎨
Our Braves loved listening to his story and were fascinated to learn about the journey of writing and publishing a book. 🏫💭 Thank you, Mr. Clelland, for empowering our students to dream big and think positively!
