First grade is learning about the patterns of the sun. Students discovered how people in the past, and cultures around the world, used sundials to tell time and track the sun’s movement. Our Firsties are ready to head outside tomorrow to observe and record how the sun appears in different ...locations in the sky throughout the day as the Earth rotates. Hands on learning is helping our young scientists explore the world around them!

Second grade had a delicious hands-on learning experience this week as they learned how to make bread and homemade butter. Students kneaded dough and shook jars of ingredients to create their very own butter. What a yummy snack to enjoy at the end of the day!

Our 8th grade scientists investigated what happens when objects collide, drop, and break during a hands-on cart lab. Using materials such as rice, noodles, CD cases, marbles, and books, students observed changes in motion and shape. They also explored how the objects and the subsystems they are ...part of are affected during collisions. Through investigation and discussion, students discovered how forces can cause objects to move, stop, change direction, deform, or break.

Our 4th grade worked on developing their growth mindset by reading the story, “The Magical Yet.” They learned that being brave, showing strength, persevering, and using their intelligence can help them grow and achieve their goals. Together, they even created a Magical Yet Potion to remind them... that they may not be able to do something yet, but with hard work and perseverance, they can keep learning and growing!
