5th grade students wrapped up our physical science unit with a Chemical Change Cafe. We read the book Pancakes Pancakes by Eric Carle and made pancakes on griddles in the classroom. Students observed pancakes cooking to determine if there was evidence of a chemical or physical change. They wrote a claim and used evidence from the lab to support their ideas. Parents graciously donated time and helped flip pancakes. Mrs Chavez even came by to get a taste of science.

Meet Kylin, the ultimate Super Bowl investigator! 🏈 This young man from Mrs. Allen's class had a mission—he wanted to know who the 5th grade thought would take home the Super Bowl trophy! 🏆 So, Kylin went around to every class, asking students to cast their votes.
After gathering all the votes, Kylin got down to business and made an awesome graph to show the results. And guess what? The 5th graders are all in for the Chiefs to win! It looks like they’re ready to cheer on Kansas City for the big win! 🎉 Let’s see if they’ve got the inside scoop on this one! 🏈👀

Mrs. Allen is a shining star in our school community! As one of our AMAZING Special Education teachers, her love and dedication to her students is truly inspiring. Every day, she brings warmth, kindness, and a heart full of love to her classroom! 💖✨

Our first grade friends have been having a magical time celebrating Christmas Around the World! They’ve already "traveled" to Mexico, where they learned about fun piñatas, and to Australia, where Christmas is celebrated with summer fun and beach vibes!
The Elves are back at school, and they sure know how to make an entrance! They started their day high up on the rooftops, keeping a watchful eye on everyone below. But the fun didn’t stop there—they were spotted all over at lunch, bringing smiles and a little bit of holiday magic wherever they went! We are truly blessed by great admin here at Bethany Elementary!!
Mrs. Hanger’s first graders have been having so much fun learning about the writing process! They’re writing letters to Santa and following 3 important steps: first, they map out their thoughts, then they write a rough draft, and finally, they create a shiny, perfect final draft on their special Santa paper. Such a creative way to share their holiday wishes!
