🧪 In Mr. Yue's chemistry class, our students explored identifying and describing chemicals using their five senses.

With samples like vinegar, rubbing alcohol, ammonia solution, and bleach, they discovered the typical chemical and physical properties of each. Hands-on science makes learning stick, and this experiment definitely sparked curiosity!

ASL Fashion Show Fun! First time! 👕✨Wow! Today was such a blast! Our students walked the red carpet wearing aprons decorated with different words and letters tied to ASL handshapes. Each student proudly showed off a word starting with their letter, turning learning into a creative, confidence-boosting ABC fashion show!

We also shared this moment with our parents by teaching them about Deaf Awareness Month and practicing the ASL alphabet together. Thank you to all the parents who joined us and celebrated alongside our students! 🙌🤟

It was so much fun watching their excitement and seeing ASL come to life in such a unique way.
