Hands-on science came to life in Mrs. Hornberger’s third-grade class at Aurora Elementary School. After studying the phases of the moon, students modeled lunar movement using a Styrofoam “moon,” a flashlight representing the sun, and their own heads as the Earth—bringing an abstract concept into clear focus.
Students also created moon calendars and tracked changes in the moon’s phases throughout the month, strengthening observation skills and deepening their understanding of how the moon moves and changes over time. 🌘

In Ms. Gabbard’s reading class at Aurora Elementary School, students were up and moving as they built foundational literacy skills. Through active, hands-on learning, students practiced identifying letters and matching sounds, reinforcing early reading concepts in a way that kept them engaged and focused. By pairing movement with instruction, students strengthened letter recognition, phonemic awareness, and confidence as emerging readers!
