First grade boys completed turkey themed word searches and other turkey themed projects in Library this week.

Third grade girls practice their skills identifying complete sentences and sentence fragments by competing in a virtual escape where sentences and sentence fragments were the clues to escape.

Seventh and eighth grades learned about the different states of matter. They then used plasma balls to demonstrate how plasmas interact with the electromagnetic energy from the human body.

On Monday, in honor of Veterans day, Major Gavin Ellman visited our Kindergarten to talk about his experiences in the US Army. The students learned about his uniform, his training and his experiences in the army. He led the students in some pushups and jumping jacks and showed the students his army issued siddur and pictures of the kosher food he ate in the army.

Second grade girls are hard at work finishing up their fiber art hearts. They shaped pipe cleaners into hearts and are not completing the challenging task of weaving yarn into beautiful designs and patterns around their hearts.

I walked into the library while second grade girls were giggling and playing with clay. They told me they were doing an activity from the book they just read: "The Busy Life of Ernestine Buckmeister". You see, Ernestine participates in way too many afterschool activities; it is exhausting. One of them was sculpture making. As an extension activity, these girls were forming all kinds of art from the clay: smiley faces, animals, structures, etc. It was fun to see how excited they were about the book and about mimicking the main character.

Team-building, ingenuity, and fun took center stage at today's Middle School Advisory for both boys and girls. It was amazing seeing students play games and participate in challenges that required creative thinking and working together. The boys here were asked to make a car that propels using a set of household materials and no instructions. It was great to see the engineering and bonding required as they attempted to be successful.

Highlights from the week of February 8, 2024

Yes, this pic was taken on Sunday. Yes, this pic was taken outside of school. Yes, this pic deserves a place in this week's window!

Look how enthralled these boys are! And who wouldn't be?!?! The last time this happened they were 6 years old. Now they had the benefit of understanding what they are witnessing since they learned all about eclipses in science class.
