Mrs. Esteppe’s 2nd grade class had an unforgettable hands-on learning experience as they explored the life cycle of a chicken! 🐣
Over the past few weeks, students carefully observed eggs in an incubator and eagerly awaited the exciting moment when the chicks began to hatch. The classroom was filled with curiosity, excitement, and lots of smiles as students watched the life cycle come to life right before their eyes.

⚽ Student Spotlight ⚽
Today we are shining the spotlight on some of our students who play soccer at Winter Park: Alyssa, Gemma, Rylee, Sadie, Liam, Fernando, Karter, and Alex!
When asked about their favorite part of soccer, they shared that they love being with friends, playing with classmates, experiencing new teams, and the excitement of defending and shooting.
They also talked about some of the challenges that come with the game, including tough competition, receiving a bad cross, keeping up their confidence, having dad as a coach (😂), and even getting juked!
We love seeing our students stay active, build friendships, and grow through sports. Keep up the great work! We are proud of you all!

Mrs. Balgeman’s class took a hands-on step back in time while learning about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the rise of assembly lines during industrialization. Students participated in a fast-paced competition to replicate a detailed blouse, racing against the clock to experience the pressure and precision of factory work. This engaging activity sparked meaningful conversations about efficiency, working conditions, and the human impact behind America’s industrial growth.
