Parents stepped back into the classroom and became scientists for the day during 5th Grade Parent Day!
They got a glimpse of the exciting learning happening in our science classrooms and even took part in an experiment to observe signs of a chemical change. From bubbling reactions to lively discussions, it was a wonderful reminder that the joy of learning is a lifelong journey. No matter your age, there's always something new to discover. 🌟🔍
