Pacific Intermediate Jag Club students recently spent their morning connecting with residents at Pacific Care Center! 🤗

Residents enjoyed playing bingo with the students, sharing stories, and celebrating winners as prizes were handed out. The morning wrapped up with donuts and plenty of smiles! 🍩

There is some “ribbit-ing” research happening in Mr. Elbert’s English class at Pacific Intermediate as students explore the life cycle of a frog while developing their informative writing skills. 🐸

Writing a strong essay is a process, and students are building the foundation step by step:
✅ Jotting down key facts from their research
✅ Transforming notes into organized outlines that help structure their ideas
✅ Practicing handwriting and letter sounds to make sure their message is clear

It is great to see our students strengthening their writing skills while learning about the natural world!

Pacific Intermediate 5th grade science classes are diving deep into the mechanics of our planet! 🌎

Students recently completed a hands-on lab exploring Earth’s rotation by creating and using handmade sundials to observe the relationship between the sun’s position and the passage of time.

As they tracked the movement of shadows, students developed an understanding of why we experience day and night. 🌓

The Jag Club at Pacific Intermediate is an organization that focuses on student leadership and community service. Coordinated visits to local facilities like the Pacific Care Center are designed to get students actively involved in their immediate community. This particular event allowed students to interact with an older demographic while providing a structured, engaging morning activity for the care center residents. Following the final round of bingo and the distribution of prizes, the students packed up and returned to Pacific Intermediate for their regular class schedule. Smiles were everywhere as the students and residents enjoyed their donuts and conversation!

Big changes are on the horizon! 🎓✨ Our 5th graders are officially looking ahead to 6th Grade as they explore their elective choices for next year. From fine arts to future-ready tech, they’ve got some big decisions to make! 🎨🎷🤖 📩 Parents: Please keep an eye out for a selection form coming home in your child’s folder today. The Details: • Action: Review the choices with your student and sign the form. • Deadline: Please return the completed paper to school by Friday, March 13th.
