🐻🩺✨ Learning in action across our district!

Recently, students from #CommunityHighSchool’s Medical Therapeutics class, led by instructor Kaycee Martin, hosted a Stuffie Clinic for Pre-K students at #CommunityElementarySchool. High school #students performed checkups on stuffed animals brought in by the younger students, including vital signs, height and weight measurements and quick assessments. 🩹❤️🧸

Pre-K students also learned about healthy eating habits and proper mouth care in a fun and engaging environment. 🍎🥦🦷

This hands on activity allowed Medical Therapeutics students to demonstrate the skills they have learned throughout the year, including communication with pediatric patients. Most importantly, both groups of students shared a fun and memorable experience together.💜💛

We love seeing our students learn, lead and make meaningful connections across our schools! ✨

Collaboration, creativity and a little monster magic made for a memorable learning experience! 👾📚✨

Recently, Misty Thompson’s first grade class at #CommunityElementarySchool teamed up with Cindy Friendman’s students at #CommunityHighSchool for a cross-grade project centered around friendly monsters. After listening to stories about friendly monsters, the first graders designed their own characters and wrote creative stories to match.🎨✏️

Using the students’ templates, Mrs. Friedman’s class brought the monsters to life by creating stuffed versions of each design 🧵🪡. The excitement continued when they visited the first graders to personally deliver the handmade stuffies 🤝💛. #Students then read their stories aloud and compared their creations to the finished stuffed monsters, each one uniquely matched their original designs!

This project showcased creativity, #teamwork and meaningful connections between students of all ages 🌟👏. Check out these wonderful moments and friendly monsters!

✨👾 Bringing Stories to Life One Friendly Monster at a Time! 👾✨

FCCLA members and Fashion Design students from #CommunityHighSchool partnered with Mrs. Thompson’s 1st grade class at #CommunityElementarySchool to kick off Read Across America with a creative literacy project.📚✨

Guided by Mrs. Friedman, #students created monster templates, planning sheets and story prompts to support imagination and writing skills. First graders designed their own unique monsters, describing their appearance and personality, then wrote original stories titled “My Friendly Monster.”📝💡

Fashion Design students then transformed the drawings into handmade stuffed monsters, bringing each character to life.🧵🪡

Students later met as reading buddies, using the stuffed creations as storytelling props and comforting companions while sharing their stories aloud.

The project highlighted creativity, mentorship and the power of storytelling across grade levels. 💛💜
