Chalk in First Grade

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on
This year we learned about some uses of rocks.  For a Fun Friday, we MADE OUR OWN CHALK!  We had to mix it and pour it into molds and wait 2 WHOLE WEEKS for it to dry.  Last Friday, we finally got to go out and draw with our homemade chalk and then we got to take our chalk home!  The students had so much fun creating designs.

Science in 3rd Grade

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

This Term, as a third grade, each teacher has been rotating to each 3rd grade class to teach a specific science unit. In one of the units, students have learned about different types of forces of motion and how they are used regularly in everyday activites (pull, pull and gravity.) In the Force and Motion unitt, students have also learned how to identify different types of simple machines and and the forces of motion they use. At the end of the unit, to assess what students have learned, students were asked to design and create their own catapults.

Sixth Graders Learn about Greek

Submitted by sarah.ledingham on

Mrs. James's sixth-grade class did a social studies unit on ancient Greece. These last two weeks we were split into six different “city-states”.  The city-states were Athens, Sparta, Argos, Thebes, Corinth, and Delphi. All of the city-states would be given contests and tasks to compete for points. The table with the most points, in the end, would win.
