Today was Grinch Day! Students and faculty dressed up like the Grinch or characters from Whoville.
Mrs. Crook’s class has been learning about Ancient Rome and made Roman Dioramas to showcase what they have learned about aqueducts, the Coliseum, Roman army and the amazing roads they built during that time. They loved integrating 3D art into their learning.
'Tis the season for elves and shelves! Our resourceful second graders had the opportunity to build a shelf for their elves. We discussed how shelves need joints, support, and concepts about vertical and horizontal. The goal was to construct the tallest shelf possible that would hold their elf so that children could not reach the shelf. After making a blueprint as a team, they started building.
Mrs. Maguet's class did a Christmas science experiment. They put candy canes in four cups with warm water, cold water, vinegar, and oil. They watched to see which cup dissolved a candy cane the fastest. Warm water dissolved the fastest, then vinegar, then water, and oil didn’t dissolve at all!

Two girls, Lea and Jennika, came to me and said that the lunchroom staff are not appreciated enough and we work really hard. They wanted to do a fund raiser for us to buy us tall stools so we can sit while we serve. I explained that we can't do that and then they said they wanted to buy us all good shoes. Long story short...I encouraged them to write heart felt letters to the lunch ladies thanking them for working so hard.
2nd and 4th graders worked together to make a sturdy tower. The towers had to stay up with earthquakes (desk shaking) to win.
Sra. Nelly, who was visiting from Mexico, shared the story "El niño que tocó las estrellas" with Sra. Bartholomew’s 4th grade class. It is the true story of José Hernández Moreno, the son of Mexican immigrants that worked in fields and how he became an astronaut for NASA.
