This week, our third grade teachers collaborated with Ms. Young from our Family Resource Center to teach their students about electricity and electrical circuits. The kids really enjoyed the hands-on experience of creating complete circuits using snap circuit kits.




Mrs. Ledington's class has had a great time learning about angles. Students designed their own zoo layouts by measuring and sketching angles using protractors. They placed their enclosures at specific angle measures to practice how to measure and draw angles in whole-number degrees. This activity aligns with KY.4.MD.6 by helping students apply protractor skills in a creative, real-world context.










Because of our recent missed days, THE CANDY CONTEST IS EXTENDED THROUGH MONDAY, MARCH 23rd. Please consider sending bags of soft candy (no nuts or peanut butter) for the Laurel Heights Easter egg hunt. The class with the most candy donated will get a prize!
This is an event that Johnson is proud to have supported for several years now, and we love that filling eggs for the residents allows our Eagles to learn about the importance of serving others.
🐣 Thank you so much to those families who have already donated! 🐣

Look who came out to play while his Eagle friends were out of school this Friday! Our third grade has been learning about life cycles and waiting patiently for these chicken eggs to hatch. On Thursday, the third graders shared their experiences by taking some of their chicks to visit other classes.
