Fill Your Bucket Friday

Recently, some of our Jefferson eighth grade students visited a former 3-5 teacher and were able to read them notes of gratitude and tell them how much they were impacted by their teaching. This wonderful activity was part of the eighth graders SEL time.

Fourth Grade Landform Project

Students in fourth grade learned about landforms recently in their social studies class. As a final activity, students created a landform of their choice. Students were then able to observe their classmate’s projects and write down their findings.
