Students learned how to write haiku and cinquain poems. We\u2019ve also introduced the different Lab Fair categories as students continue working on their writing and begin thinking about projects they might like to enter.<\/p>\n<p>We had such a fun Valentine\u2019s Day celebration, thank you for all your help in making it special! Students worked together on a LEGO heart-building challenge, and it was great to see so much creativity and teamwork. We also enjoyed cupcakes and drinks from the Fizz, along with Cuties, while students passed out candy and their Valentine treats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"jetpack-slideshow-noscript robots-nocontent\">This slideshow requires JavaScript.<\/p><div id=\"gallery-10930-1-slideshow\" class=\"jetpack-slideshow-window jetpack-slideshow jetpack-slideshow-black\" data-trans=\"fade\" data-autostart=\"1\" data-gallery=\"[{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.thesummitprep.org\\\/4th\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/IMG_9113-scaled.jpeg?fit=1920%2C2560\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10931&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_9113&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.thesummitprep.org\\\/4th\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/IMG_9115-scaled.jpeg?fit=1920%2C2560\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10932&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_9115&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.thesummitprep.org\\\/4th\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/IMG_9117-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1920\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10933&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_9117&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.thesummitprep.org\\\/4th\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/IMG_9119-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1920\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10934&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_9119&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;},{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/i0.wp.com\\\/www.thesummitprep.org\\\/4th\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/sites\\\/25\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/IMG_9121-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1920\\u0026ssl=1&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;10935&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;IMG_9121&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;itemprop&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}]\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\"><\/div>\n<p>On a personal note, thank you for all the kind birthday wishes and for making Teacher Appreciation Week feel so special.
