Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  It was another busy week of learning at Diamond Creek. Our 5th Grade students had the opportunity to dissect sheep hearts on Thursday. This is always an amazing learning experience for our 5th grade students and even encourages some of them with future professions! We are thankful for amazing doctors and parent volunteers who help make this learning experience so meaningful for our students. On Friday, our 2nd grade students worked very hard to welcome our Grandparents to Diamond Creek and help them feel extra special!  I have to bring kleenex with me as I'm walking through the 2nd grade classrooms listening to all of our Grandparents share special memories and thoughts of their grandchildren.  Thank you to our 2nd grade teachers for all of their hard work helping this day be extra special for everyone!

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  WOW! Our students have worked hard this year! I truly enjoyed walking through all of the classrooms at Open House last night viewing some of their work.  Thank you to our teachers for all of their hard work with our students and thank you to all of our families for walking through last night. Our students were very excited to show you their masterpieces! We still have 13 days to go and we will continue to work hard, but also celebrate all of the learning our students have accomplished this school year.  Our 2nd grade students are gearing up for Grandparents Day coming up this Friday and our 1st grade students have been working hard on their Spring Sing songs.  We look forward to these events as well. On Friday, our choir students performed for all of the 1st through 5th grade students. This choir is truly amazing!
