Our third graders are hard at work building their multiplication fluency—and they’re having a blast doing it! Students take fluency tests one number at a time, mastering each set of facts as they go. Every time they pass a number, they earn a colorful gumball to glue onto their very own gumball machine, showing off their progress in a fun and visual way.
The excitement keeps growing as the machines fill up, and there’s a sweet goal at the end: when students pass their times 12, they earn a whole pack of gumballs to chew on and celebrate their success! This hands-on, motivating system is helping students build confidence, speed, and accuracy with their multiplication facts—and they’re so proud of how far they’ve come.
Way to make us #MustangProud, third graders!

This past December, the GCJ2 Families in Need Program supported more than 60 children by providing essentials such as shirts, pants, socks, hats, mittens, snow gloves, and laundry supplies, and assistance. This meaningful support would not have been possible without the INCREDIBLE generosity of those who donated financially and those who chose to adopt a child—thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Because of the kindness of our local community, families also received food bags for winter break from Lakeland Community Church, along with Thanksgiving and winter break food bags from Trinity Church -- along with cold-weather items for our Families in Need Program. We are also deeply grateful to The Lost Sock for their thoughtful donation of coupon codes, helping ease the burden for Families in Need who utilize their facility.
Your compassion and generosity make a real difference! Because of YOU, we are able to help these students with a few basic needs to support their daily attendance to school. Thank you for caring for our students and families in such a powerful way!

Our 4K students had a blast during our Messy Science event! They explored hands-on activities that encouraged curiosity, creativity, and lots of learning through play. Students experimented with different materials, made predictions, and observed what happened as they mixed, poured, scooped, and created. The room was full of excitement as they practiced using their senses, sharing with friends, and trying new things. Everyone did a great job being safe scientists and helping with clean-up when it was time to finish!
These 2nd graders worked hard during indoor recess! Thanks for sharing with us your masterpiece!!
4K Messy Science: 4K Outreach // Jan 28 from 12:30pm-2:30pm at BES // There is no regular 4K programming this day // For more information, please contact your child's 4K teacher
