Miss Winter, who is currently student teaching in Ms. Habowski's 2nd-grade class, is doing a math unit on geometry. She did an interactive lesson where the students used clay to build 3-dimensional shapes. She then used the shapes built by the students to teach them about faces and vertices of each 3-D shape.
The sixth-grade students gathered in the hallway for a celebration announcing the students of the month. They listened to music and gave a drum roll for their fellow classmates. Congratulations to the four winners: Morgan Laughlin, Karley McHale, Yanqiu Chen, and Noah Wydra!
Check out a few of the many works of art produced by our Senior Studio artists.
Learning to read in Kindergarten and LOVING it!!!
Wendy, Jess, and the food service team prepared eggs for the HS students. They are so colorful—Enjoy!
8th Grade students within Mr. Williams' afternoon S.T.E.M. classes learned firsthand the effects of Gravity, Inertia, and Weight while welcoming in the season of Spring. Students were tasked with creating a contraption that to protect their Spring Chicken (an egg) from three, increasingly taller launch points. Led and organized by student teacher Mr. Lepovetsky, students used the scientific method of research and higher-level engineering strategies to design and build protections devices that could withstand the impact created by gravity and safely protect their Spring Chicken until they have made their safe landing. While braving the weather elements and testing their devices in front of the middle school and off the football stadium bleachers, students successfully “cracked” the code on the effects of gravity and safely grounded their Spring Chickens without any scrambled results.

This week in Mr. Rarig’s 8th grade Advanced STEM class, students constructed dowel rod towers to hold weight. Later in the week, they made a trip to the weight room to test how much weight their tower could support.
