🐯Hello, Longden Families.
We had another fantastic week of learning at Longden!
Longden is fortunate to have an exceptional group of teachers who inspire and make learning both fun and interactive. In Mrs. Lam's 6th-grade class, students worked as teams on an engaging hands-on project where they used their creativity and a variety of materials—including styrofoam, vibrant paints, thumbtacks, and other craft supplies—to recreate the layers of our remarkable planet, Earth. This project not only allowed them to deepen their understanding of geology and the planet's structure but also encouraged teamwork and artistic expression. The students do a fantastic job of sharing their ideas and discoveries! Check out the videos that highlight their projects and explanations.
📚 Our library is fully open for business, and this past week was particularly buzzing with activity. Excited students streamed in throughout the day, exploring shelves and discovering new books to check out. It was so wonderful to see so many young readers getting excited about books and discovering a love for reading!
