Happy Read Across America Week!

Thank you to Quakertown Elementary 3rd grader, Crovernan, for sharing his book recommendation, "Dog Man: Unleashed,” by Dav Pilkey.

In “Dog Man: Unleashed,” Dog Man tries to stop supervillain Petey the Cat. When asked what his favorite part was, Crovernan replied, “He chases Petey the Cat and ends up in jail!”

Thank you, Crovernan, for sharing this story with us, and keep up the great work!

Happy Read Across America Week, Quakertown Elementary!

Happy Read Across America Week!

Thank you to Quakertown Elementary 2nd grader – Gabby – for sharing her book recommendation, "A Bad Case of Stripes,” by David Shannon.

“My favorite part is when she turns into a gumball machine!” said Gabby, and she immediately showed the illustration. Gabby explained that the story centers around a little girl named Camilla Cream, who loves lima beans but doesn’t want to eat them. And as a result, she starts turning colors! “My other favorite part of the book is when she grows a cat tale!”

Thank you Gabby for sharing your love of “A Bad Case of Stripes” with us.

Happy Read Across America Week Quakertown Elementary!

What is Design Thinking?
Design Thinking is a dynamic, hands-on learning approach that helps students become creative problem-solvers. It emphasizes empathy, real-world relevance, and iterative design — guiding students through a process of empathizing, defining, ideating, prototyping, and testing. By working on open-ended, real-life challenges, students build confidence, learn to consider diverse perspectives, and develop critical thinking skills. Design Thinking is often paired with Computational Thinking pathways — preparing our kids for college, career, and life beyond school.

Thank you for helping our students turn old toys into fresh, imaginative creations!
