Heritage Hill Elementary -

Mrs. Bach's 5th grade class at Heritage Hill is putting their new skills of Tableau from Wit & Wisdom on display for principal, Mrs. Lastra. Using their bodies and props, students create a living picture of a concept or scene from the literary work they are currently studying. Mrs. Lastra served as a guest judge to decide which group created the most realistic scene depicting a characters feelings from their recent reading. This is a great way to incorporate critical thinking skills and collaboration along with creation, description and planning to bring a text to life. Great job Mrs. Bach & 5th grade students! #VikesLeadTheWay #AAGV

Discover What Owls Eat! 🦉 Fifth Graders at Heritage Hill became nature detectives! When owls eat their food, they can’t digest everything—like bones and fur—so they spit out little bundles called owl pellets. During our owl pellet dissection, students gently took apart a real pellet to see what the owl had for dinner. They found tiny skulls, bones, and other cool clues that helped them learn about food chains and animal habitats. It was a fun, hands-on science adventure! #VikesLeadTheWay #AAGV

Students in Mrs. Buchanans class had fun delivering a special treat to different classrooms at Heritage Hill on Friday! The students made Magic Potion Punch together, then spent time serving it to adults throughout the school! #VikesLeadTheWay #AAGV
