Mold Terrariums! 🦠 In science, Mrs. Mazza's class planned and conducted an investigation to discover the factors affecting decomposition. Students filled bags with different types of foods and changed the environmental conditions to study how different variables affect mold growth.
It was a fun week in Mrs. Marotta's first grade class! They went on a "trip" to the United Kingdom during ELA. On the plane they made passports, had a popcorn snack, watched a video on the U.K. and read a story, "A Trip to the U.K." They had fun using mirrors to watch their mouth formation when saying short vowel sounds. They also enjoyed buddy reading their story! ✈️
Happy October! 🎃 This month for SEL, we're excited to focus on the theme of growth mindset. Our fifth-grade student council representatives have been visiting classrooms to share the important message that a growth mindset means believing in the power of our brains to grow and learn new things. Embracing this mindset encourages us all to tackle challenges with confidence and curiosity!
