Guest Speaker and Everest Expert, Dr. Anil Yallapragada

Third Graders had a very exciting visitor join us in the classroom this week! Dr. Anil Yalapragada visited Third Graders Friday to discuss his travels through India, Nepal and through the Himalayas. He was an especially exciting guest for us as he reached the summit of Mount Everest in his travels! Scholars were thrilled to hear stories of his experiences and even see some gear he used on his incredible climb!

We are Creative!

This week Third Graders discussed the importance of creativity. When we are creative, we find new and unique ways to see and do things in our world! These bright scholars know that creativity is a skill that will help them to navigate challenges. Third Graders discussed all of the ways they use creativity in their daily lives. Ask your young scholar how they used their creative brain today!
