Mrs. Flaten's class made predictions as to what would happen to a raw egg in various liquids. Eggs were placed in plain water, water with red food coloring, Coke, Mt. Dew, and vinegar. One of the eggs was covered with toothpaste before putting it in Coke. Predictions included "rot, melt, float, turn brown, turn pink, and float." The eggs sat in the jars overnight and some of the students' educated guesses were quite accurate! One surprise was how vinegar impacted the shell of the egg😯 If you don't know what happens, try it yourself! Students also enjoyed decorating hard boiled eggs and snuggling up with some "peeps"😊 Lots of great learning, creativity and connections!

Miss Russell’s & Mrs. Abate’s 1st graders finished reading Charlotte’s Web, and celebrated with a hands-on STEM adventure! 🕸️📚 As part of the “Spider Balloonists” STEM Challenge, students recreated the moment Charlotte’s babies float away by designing their very own spider “balloons.” Then came the big test - launching them off the balcony to see how they traveled! So much creativity, problem-solving, and excitement packed into one unforgettable project. Yay, first grade! 🕷️

Students in Mr. Melby's elementary music classes recently learned a game called "The Old House Key." During this game, a student leaves the room while the rest of the class hides a key somewhere in the classroom. When the class has hidden the key, the student is brought back into the room to search for it. As the student searches for the key, the rest of the class sings this fun little song: "Something's missing, my old house key. Can't unlock the door, oh woah is me! Searched everywhere that it could be.. I guess I'm climbing through the window with a ha-ha-hee!!" As the student gets closer to the location of the key, the class sings louder to help the student know that they are getting close, and as the students gets farther away, the class sings quieter to indicate that they are getting farther away. This game teaches the musical skill of singing loud and soft, and also teaches the life skills of paying attention and working together as a team to help each other out! Have you ever been locked out of your own house before? Did you have to climb through the window?

Students in Mrs. Johnson's 4th grade math classes worked in groups to connect various vocabulary terms they have learned this year. Groups did a "city tour" where they visited each station and the members of that destination explained why they connected certain terms. This activity created positive math talk throughout the classroom and was fantastic to listen to!

Students in the Media Literacy class are learning about camera shots used in movies and how they help tell a story. Click this link to see our lead actor Ben demonstrating what a "push in" shot looks like. Movies use it to draw the audience closer to a character who has intense or conflicting emotions. It can have the effect of getting pulled into the thoughts of the character.

Our third graders have been diving into the exciting world of the Iditarod! 🐾As part of the fun, they took on a reading challenge—matching the miles their musher travels with minutes spent reading (1 mile = 1 minute). 📚 They had an amazing time tracking progress, cheering on their mushers, and building their reading stamina along the way. Way to go, readers! 🎉
