1st grade is gearing up for some "Seussy" fun celebrating the author Dr. Seuss this week!
We finished reading "Hoot" today, so for the 6th grade, that means it's the day to make unusual pancakes. In our novel, there is a company that makes some interesting flavored pancakes. Today, we added marshmallow fluff, plenty of candy, cookies, red and black pepper, chex mix, and much more. Some were more tasty than others, but we sure had fun!
After a month of research and designing, the 1st and 2nd graders are pretty proud of their Arctic Habitat. The 2nd graders researched and designed each section of the Arctic, complete with food chains. The 1st graders researched the adaptations of Arctic animals and together they decided where in the Arctic landscape each animal would be best suited.
The 5th grade finished the novel "Nory Ryan's Song" which follows the main character and her family as they try to survive the Irish potato famine. We concluded our study today by making potato candy. It was very sweet but also delicious!
Sports Nutrition has been completing their Lunch Unit this quarter which has included recipes like salad in a jar and calzones! Nice work students!
6th grade Science Showcase. Wednesday, February 26 12:30-2:00 in the Art/Science room at the Elementary School. Please attend and listen to these young scientists present their projects!
Happy Birthday, George Washington!
