5th & 6th Grade STEM:
We are off to a great start in STEM. We have been reviewing the foundational concepts of STEAM - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Students have been engaging in creative activities that help them to think outside the box.
We are starting our unit on online safety. This is a crucial topic as students are spending more and more time online. During this unit, we will cover important aspects such as protecting personal information, recognizing online risks, and practice responsible behavior online. It is encouraged that you discuss online safety with your students at home. Please reach out with any questions!
5th Grade Art: They continued working on their google doodles! they are looking so cute!
6th Grade Art: We started our concentric paintings to go with our soon to be concentric prints!
5th and 6th Grade PE
This week in PE our intermediate students played a variation of dodgeball where there are four teams competing against each other instead of two. This required teamwork and creativity and was fun to see our students grow! Next week we will be playing matball.
