🎨 Adding a splash of color to our week!

Our Kindergarten Falcons are continuing their colorful learning journey! They're practicing reading, spelling, and spotting their color words all around the classroom. Watching these little learners build their reading confidence one bright word at a time is the best part of our week.

Our 6th grade Spanish students brought high energy and quick thinking to Name Game Speedball! To prep for their very first assessment, Falcons tossed, caught, and called out names—practicing asking and answering "What is your name?" in record time.

Combining movement with language skills is just one of the ways Salem students build confidence and have fun while learning. Fantastic effort, 6th grade! 🦅⚽✨
