Kindergarten: This week, we explored some of the 6th Grade science projects, and had a chance to work in centers that focused on different scientific and engineering concepts.
1st Grade: This week, we wrapped up our unit on light and sound by watching an exciting Magic School Bus video all about sound energy. 2nd Grade: This week, we wrapped up our unit on energy by discussing how heat energy is created and playing a few heat related games. 3rd Grade: This week, we finished our magnet design challenge and tested our inventions. 4th Grade: This week, we finished building our morse code devices. We look forward to testing them next week. 5th Grade: This week, we had our Human Development Unit during science and PE class period, and turned in the element research projects. 6th Grade: We had Science Fair this past Monday at Open House. The 6th graders presented their projects extremely well, and we are so proud of all of the hard work everyone put into their experiments.

Kindergarten: We did not see Kindergarten this week, but we look forward to seeing them next Wednesday!
1st Grade: This week, one class went to the garden. They planted seeds from cauliflower and other vegetables to grow new vegetables. The other class learned about light and the difference between opaque, transparent, and translucent objects. 2nd Grade: This week, we finally tested our kites to see how high they could fly! It was a lot of fun! 3rd Grade: This week, we continued working on our magnet design challenge by creating a tool that solves a problem using magnetism. 4th Grade: This week, we continued working on our morse code devices. We look forward to completing them and testing them soon. 5th Grade: This week, we continued to work on our element research projects. The projects need to be submitted to Miss Bolkin and Mrs. Coatney by May 27. 6th Grade: This week, we began wrapping up our science fair projects. Science Fair is this coming Monday, May 23 so those students who are not done with their boards will need to take them home over the weekend to complete. Kindergarten: This week, we learned about polymers by creating slime out of borax powder and liquid glue. The students were able to make their own slime and took it home for further experimentation.
1st Grade: This week, we went to the garden. We planted seeds from cauliflower and other vegetables to grow new vegetables. 2nd Grade: This week, we continued to build our student-designed kites. We are looking forward to testing them very soon! 3rd Grade: We did not see 3rd grade this week. We look forward to seeing them next week! 4th Grade: This week, we worked in the plaza garden. We helped prepare the soil by removing unwanted pests like pillbugs and other slugs. We also added new soil for new basil plants to be planted. 5th Grade: This week, we continued to work on our element research projects. 6th Grade: We are continuing to work on science fair. The students were finishing their abstracts, editing their documents, and began workin on their trifold boards.

1st Grade: This week, we continued to learn about light. We discussed artificial vs. natural sources of light, and experimented with translucent, transparent, and opaque objects. 2nd Grade: This week, we continued to build our student-designed kites. We are looking forward to testing them very soon! 3rd Grade: This week, we began defining problems that could be solved by using magnetic devices. Students collaborated in groups to come up with possible solutions to these problems in anticipation of their Engineering Design Challenge using magnetism. 4th Grade: This week, we researched morse code and telegraphs and began designing our own morse code machines using light, sound, or both. 5th Grade: This week, we began the final phase of our chemistry unit by conducting research on different elements. Students selected an element of their choice to research and present about to the class. 6th Grade: We are continuing to work on science fair. The students began writing their abstracts and began bringing in their trifold boards. |
