Students in the 2nd grade classes researched ants and created their own ant colony. They had to give two entrances to their ant hills plus chambers for resting, a nursery, the queen, and food. This goes along with our reading curriculum where they are learning about insects!
Their creativity and excitement was inspiring!

📊 Attendance Matters!
Data from FutureEd shows that chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of the school year) is improving nationwide, but no state has returned to pre-pandemic levels yet.
📌 Why this is important:
Every day in class matters! Being present helps students stay on track academically, build relationships, and feel connected to school.
👀 Curious about our state?
Parents and community members can use the interactive tracker to see where Illinois stands and how attendance compares across states!
