PreK
PreK is continuing their PLTW unit on Healthy Habits. They have learned all about teeth! They practiced brushing and made a model of a mouth.
Kindergarten
Kindergarten began their dinosaur unit. They will be studying 5 different dinosaurs. This week they discovered it took 29 kindergarten shoes to fill one T-Rex footprint!
First Grade
First grade has been learning about the Winter Olympics games! They built their own luge hoping it would be the fastest, and tested their own hand-made skiers to see which surfaces it 'skied' on the farthest.
Second Grade
Second grade has been working very hard on research, rough drafts, final copies, and illustrations to become published authors! They are creating Endangered Animal books.
Third Grade
Third graders watched a presentation about polar bears living in the tundra. Then, they did a polar bear simulation by trying to find a seal to eat while standing on 'icebergs'. Some of the polar bears were unable to find enough food and did not survive the simulation.
Fourth Grade
4th grade took part in the new PE unit on Health and Wellness. In this unit, Miss Riddle worked with students on food groups, nutrition, and how to track heart rates.
