🧼🧠 Mrs. Caula’s 2nd-grade class took a deep dive into the “S” in their schoolwide PBIS acronym NEST, Safety First! Students explored how to stay safe at school, including a key lesson on keeping hands clean and germ-free.

Their learning led to their very first science experiment: Why Soap Works. Students discovered that soap removes oils from our skin that trap dirt and germs, making handwashing a crucial part of staying healthy and safe.

Hands-on learning that sticks with science and safety, working side by side.
