Last week third grade took a trip to the Ecological Marine Aquarium (EMA) ! 🌊🐟🦑 Taking students to the beach for a day of learning and hands-on experiments was incredible. From dissecting fish and squid to meeting reptiles and sea creatures, and even catching fish with a seine net on the beach, it was a blast! And of course, we couldn't resist a visit to Soundside Park too!
Ms. O'Brien's 3rd grade class is busy sorting polygons based on their attributes. They were measuring their sides with rulers, labeling parallel sides, and labeling any right angles they saw and then charting their answers!
Grade 5 students in the AIG math group used their time over the last few months learning to work together to logically solve the problem of engineering a marble roller coaster from paper. Students designed, tested and redesigned their projects several times to achieve optimal results. They explored energy transformation while considering friction and gravity. They considered each other’s ideas, abandoned plans and deliberated new design ideas and solutions. Most importantly, they had lots of fun creating something new and unique.
