First grade students learned about Sonia Sotomayor in STEM for Hispanic Heritage Month. They learned that she was the first Hispanic woman to become a Supreme Court Judge. They also learned that she loved books. Then they worked on their teamwork skills and built a Tower of Knowledge using a limited number of index cards and some books.

Thank you Mason Creek Families! We have 100% of our students logging their reading in Beanstack! We love seeing our students enjoy reading and doing it every day! How does reading at least 20 minutes each day help? Every minute your Wolf Cub spends reading or being read to sets them up for future success!
