Crosby Elementary

Students in Mrs. Garay and Ms. Mercado's homerooms chose 8 adjectives each to describe their mothers (or another person they care about). They wrote the adjectives on the petals of a flower to be the card to accompany a small Mother's Day present. The students had meaningful discussions about how their parents act and what adjectives go with those behaviors. #CrosBees #HarvardPOG #Empathy

Students from Ms. Woodman and Mr. Ochoa's classes have fun doing an experiment about fossilization, creating their own fossils. #CrosBees #HarvardPOG #CriticalLearner

Mrs. Johannsen's 2nd and 3rd grade students talked about “Where Will Your Wings Take You?” They shared what the want to accomplish in life and some talked about where they would go if they could fly. They had adventurous dreams that will take them to amazing places in the future!
