🎨⭐ Creativity Meets History at Summer Learning Camp! ⭐🎨
Angie Jackson from Arty All the Time recently visited students at #CascadeMiddleSchool's Summer Learning Camp and showed them how to use bold, vibrant, art deco inspired techniques to celebrate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary!
#Students channeled their creativity by designing artwork featuring the Statue of Liberty, stars, eagles, flags and the number 250, bringing patriotic symbols to life through color, design and imagination.
Through hands on creative exploration, students are building critical thinking skills while connecting art, history and self expression in meaningful ways. This learning reflects the opportunities public schools provide for students to explore ideas deeply, apply their learning and grow as confident learners.✨

🌟 Why Does Pre-K Matter? 🌟
Going to a structured pre-K program helps children succeed in school long term. 🧠It builds strong early reading and math skills, improves focus and self-control and increases the chances of graduating from high school. Children also learn important social and emotional skills such as managing their emotions, showing empathy and following classroom rules and routines.📚

☀️🔬 Summer Learning in Action at Cascade Middle! 🔬☀️
Students at #CascadeMiddleSchool participated in an exciting week of hands-on learning during Summer Learning Camp!
Students designed and built solar ovens, then used them to make and enjoy s’mores powered by the sun. 🍫☀️
A coloring contest was also held in celebration of the 250th anniversary of America, showcasing students’ creativity and historical understanding through artwork.🎨
The class also welcomed Meteorologist Elijah Kirby, who shared valuable knowledge about weather patterns and safety. #Students learned how to stay alert during severe weather events and where to go in case of weather-related emergencies. ⛈️
This experience highlights the many ways public schools provide opportunities for creativity, hands-on learning and real-world skill development in engaging and meaningful ways. 💡👏
