Third graders in Mrs. Glenn’s class explored the phenomena that perhaps bigger pumpkins would have more seeds inside of them. We took data and made hypotheses about what we thought. Then, we took 4 pumpkins of various sizes and counted the seeds inside. We found that the biggest pumpkin had the least amount of seeds and the smallest pumpkin had the most seeds!  But the other two middle sized pumpkins did not follow that pattern. We decided that perhaps the size of the pumpkin doesn’t determine the number of seeds inside. 

We’ve been having so much fun in PE. The kids have been loving being back to school, back to the gym and back to playing fun games. To name a few we’ve played star wars, ninja turtles, guardians of the galaxy, Space jam, among us, frozen and have had fun doing fun fitness challenges.

In second grade we are getting ready for Halloween and learning grammar. Students learn all about collective nouns and explored different collective noun names! 

The past couple of weeks in 5th grade, we have been studying the properties of matter.  In the last week, we have done several experiments. The most recent experiment is determining how an acid affects a penny. Each day, students have been adding a bit more vinegar to the surface of their penny. They record their observations each day in their science notebooks.  It has been fun to explore the properties of matter together!

Our class love science so much, it’s bleeding into the art we choose to create on the blacktop! Among the many talents Mr. Mann’s students possess, artistic flare is among the best! We love to draw as we learn, and learning through drawing helps us  understand the world around us in a much deeper way! In our science units, we are constantly drawing models to explain and explore phenomena that occurs in the natural world - and we are becoming artists at the same time!

First graders had some fun apple tasting and graphing! 

Mr. Haslam‘s class is Mobilized with activity this month. One of The latest activities the students have engaged in, is writing letters to their commanding officer, Ms. Balli. Even Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker got in on the action. As the students hone in on their writing skills, they continue to fight in the battle of good versus evil. The force is strong with these little Padawan’s. Bright sun‘s parents, and may the Force be with you. 

In computers we learned parts of the computer and how a computer works.  We had a chance to look inside of a real computer and see how everything is connected.  

Students have been working hard on having good behavior in the library in order to earn a maker-space day! There were many different activities they could choose from, and they had a great time working together building and creating.
