EXPLORE'S K-5 WEEKLY FOCUS

Climb Every Mountain: Our October Theme in Action

This week, our entire school community continued on with our theme, Climb Every Mountain, but this time, we brought the learning outside. Students continued to try to climb mountains by engaging in challenging gross motor activities, and of course, we did all of it with our K-5 grade levels. Modeling is so important for these kids to see and all of our classmates did an amazing job!
