Last week, Kindergarten's Book of the Week was Jack and the Beanstalk. Peek in at Mrs. Glueck's class working hard on a STEM project. These scientists had to make a prediction of how many applejacks would fit on their “beanstalk”, then they conducted the experiment. After, they recorded their data.
And still more Dot Day smiles!
We just had to share more Dot Day fun!
In honor of Dot Day, first grade experimented to see how many dots of water a penny could hold. Check out Mrs. Rhea's scientists! STEM learning at its best!!
We wanted to take a minute to recognize Officer Cook. He's here not only keeping our school safe but also building positive relationships with our students. We appreciate you!
Just a reminder- tomorrow is Dot Day!
Mrs. Perez's 4th graders had a blast exploring the sensory properties of guava! It was an eye-opening experience, and they learned that science can be as delicious as it is educational.
A huge shout out to the 162 volunteers that went through our training the past few weeks. If you are interested in volunteering at Vaughn, it is a requirement that you do the training.

Literacy integration with technology and communication leads to STEM learning in Mrs. Peeler’s room! Students constructed models with Mr. Potato Head to review parts of the body and identified words on their iPads to build their communication.
September's Big Idea for the Month is Friendship. Take some time this month to talk to your child about what it means to be a good friend. Each Month, a character quality is highlighted by our counselors and teachers using the program Core Essential Values.
Our 3rd grade scientists have been exploring the fascinating journey of plant growth. They've been hands-on, planting seeds, nurturing them, and closely observing the changes that take place over time. At Vaughn, we're not just growing plants; we're also budding data scientists! 📊📈 Students have been learning how to collect, organize, and analyze their data. They are also developing critical thinking skills as they ask questions, make predictions, and seek answers through experimentation.
They're not just learning about plants; they're learning how to think like scientists!
Get ready to embark on a colorful and creative journey as we join the celebration of Dot Day on Sept. 15th. What's Dot Day, you ask?

Eagles, wear your polka dots or favorite color and prepare to let your imagination soar.

2nd grade finished their Folk Tale Unit with a dress-up day and STEM challenge. Students worked on building a pen that would contain Paul Bunyan's Blue Ox using given materials and parameters. Looks like these characters had a lot of fun!
