Pre K: This week the students learned about how to take care of the Earth in preparation for Earth Day. We talked about different ways to reduce, reuse, and cycle, as well as how we can help make the world a better place. We also planted some lettuce up in our Plaza Garden!
Kindergarten: We did not have Kindergarten this week due to the 3rd Grade Passover assembly. We look forward to seeing them again after break! 1st Grade: This week we went to the garden and planted a "pizza" garden made out of different vegetables. We look forward to using the crops on a celebratory pizza at the end of the year! 2nd Grade: This week we went on our whale watching trip! We saw so many whales and dolphins. It was great seeing them in their natural habitat after learning about them in class. For pictures from the trip, please go to www.flickr.com/rick_hagerty 3rd Grade: This week we continued our unit on measurement. We learned about measuring volume and capacity using graduated cylinders, flasks, funnels, and beakers. It was a lot of fun! 4th Grade: This week the students continued to learn about the body systems. We look forward to ending our unit after Spring Break. 5th: This week the students continued to work on their energy resource project. They will have one class period after break to tie up any loose ends before the project is due. 6th Grade: This week the students continued to work on their projects. Their conclusion, data tables, and graphs are due after break!

We listened to audio of humpback whales, read a book on different whales, and measured the length of a variety of whales using meter sticks. 3rd Grade: This week we began our unit on measurement what will supplement their math curriculum. We learned about the different units of the metric system, and practices measuring mass using triple beam balances. 4th Grade: This week the students learned about more about the digestive system! We watched an awesome Magic School Bus video, and did a fun taste experiment using Jelly Beans! 5th: This week we began our energy resource research project. Please see Google Doc for details on the timeline and guidelines. 5th Grade Project Guidelines 6th Grade: This week the students turned in their Question/Hypothesis/Materials/Procedure portion of the project. They are now free to start their experiments at home! 6th Grade Science Fair Pre K: This week the students learned about teeth in honor of February being Dental Health Awareness month.
