After studying the science of weathering and erosion, fourth-grade students in Mrs. Cotton’s class at Manchester Elementary School brought Earth’s dynamic forces to life! Using salt dough, students sculpted detailed models of various landforms, including towering mountains, erupting volcanoes, and other geological features. Through hands-on creation, they deepened their understanding of how natural processes shape and reshape the Earth over time.

It was Congress 101 in Ms. Warren's third-grade class at Manchester Elementary School as students began reading "How Congress Works" by Phillip Jackson. They explored the roles of the House and Senate, comparing their responsibilities and procedures. Through thoughtful analysis of the similarities and differences, students gained a deeper understanding of the foundational structure of our government including how laws are made.
