The elementary STEM club met today for the first time. For the next six weeks, the members of this club will be in "training" for the Chautauqua County STEM Wars. They will represent our school in competitions that include robotics coding, engineering small scale catapults and marble runs, and designing Science posters and a team t-shirt. There will also be an opportunity for team members to share their own creations in a Maker Faire.
Ms. Glasier and Ms. Hamlet's first grade classes participated in a cross curricular distance learning project with classrooms from Long Island. The project was themed around the book The Mitten. Each class read the book, wrote about their favorite part of the book, created their own mitten with animals craft, and chose an animal character from the book to write descriptive clues about. On January 31 and February 2, the classes video conferenced with the classes from Long Island. Every class shared a map of where they lived and taught each other about their communities. The children were amazed at how far away they were from each other even though lived in the same state. Then the classed took turns reading their favorites parts of the book. Finally, they played a guessing game where students read their animal character clues and the other class had to guess the animal. Once the animal characters were correctly guessed, the boys and girls had a chance to share their mitten and animal crafts.
Tomorrow is P.S. I Love You Day. We are excited to see purple spread throughout our school to stand up against bullying, help end depression and ultimately end suicide. 200 schools nationwide will be participating! We are hopeful that more love, kindness and connectedness will bring our school together as a family. Don't forget to wear purple for us, wear purple for the silent battles we can't see.
We have converted Mrs. Anderson’s AIS classroom into a campground thanks to donations provided through Donors Choose. Our desks have become tents and bear caves have been constructed where we will read and work on math skills.
