Grade 4 Market Day! 🏪💹 As part of our Grade 4 Economics unit, students experienced Market Day as both producers and consumers. Students developed business ideas, created and marketed goods or services, and also made thoughtful choices about how to spend their money. Throughout the experience, students demonstrated important values such as responsibility, fairness, and collaboration as they considered pricing, local versus imported materials, environmental impact, and what mattered most to them as consumers. Market Day highlighted how economic choices reflect our values and impact our community. #Grade4Learning #MarketDay

🎭🎶 Grade 8 Interdisciplinary Unit: Identity Through the Arts 🎨✍️ In this Grade 8 IDU, students explored how personal identity can be expressed through music, performance, and visual art. By creating and analyzing self-memoirs, students shared authentic experiences and perspectives while developing their voices as artists and writers. Planned and taught collaboratively by our Grade 8 Arts and Language & Literature teachers, this interdisciplinary unit encouraged creativity, reflection, and meaningful connections across subjects—showing how powerful storytelling can be when different disciplines come together. #KASDragons #Grade8IDU #InterdisciplinaryLearning #StudentVoice #ArtsIntegration

🫀 Biology in Action: Heart Dissection Lab 🧬 In Biology class, students explored how substances are transported in living organisms by comparing mammals, fish, and plants. To deepen their understanding of the human body, students investigated a pig’s heart, closely examining its structures and how each part is adapted to support its function. By engaging multiple senses through hands-on learning, students were able to strengthen their understanding and make meaningful connections between structure and function—because learning truly sticks when it’s experienced, not just observed. #KASDragons #BiologyInAction #HandsOnLearning #ScienceLab

🌱 Grade 8 Community Project Exhibition 🌱 The Grade 8 Community Project gives our students the opportunity to advocate for causes they truly care about. Through this exhibition, students proudly shared their work with friends, parents, and the KAS community—showcasing how their ideas and actions led to real, meaningful change. We extend our sincere thanks to Mr. Kolas, Dr. Hsieh, and Mr. De Dios for their guidance, encouragement, and support throughout the project, helping students turn passion into impact. A special thank you as well to the PTA for their help in making this exhibition possible. We are incredibly proud of our Grade 8 students for using their voices to make a difference. 💙 #KASDragons #CommunityProject #StudentVoice #ServiceLearning #KASMiddleSchool
