• 00:48 First Chapter Fridays with 5th Grade

  Students listened to me read two chapters aloud from Amal Unbound while they doodled images that came to their mind. This allowed students to process and analyze the text in a different way than our usual annotations.

  Students have been learning about the human immune system and how it functions to help us fight off pathogens. Mucus is an important part of that system so students created a model of mucus and analyzed how accurate a model it was.

• 1:04 Makerspace: March 2-6

  Kindergarten went on a scavenger hunt identifying items designed by engineers and analyzing the structure and function of these designs. 1st graders explored how sound travels by experimenting with a phone made of cups and string. 2nd graders explored the properties of matter, specifically color and texture, of 'monster trucks'. They have fun racing the cars afterwards. :) 6th graders in Rm. 109 finalized their circuit designs and will begin their robotic unit next week! Meanwhile, 6th graders in Rm. 107 have just received their circuit materials and have made great progress in figuring out to make a paper circuit using copper tape, a battery and an LED light. Can't wait to see what we make next week!

  Students in 5th grade chose a scene from Amal Unbound to rewrite from a different point of view to help understand how the point of view of a story can greatly impact that the plot. After students rewrote their scene, students were able to walk around, read each other's writing and then leave feedback.

  This week, 1st graders explored a several stations in their "Light and Sound" unit: Ss rotated between using a stethoscope to hear their heart beat and experimenting with both metal water bottles and plastic bins with rubber bands to determine how different ways that they could make sound.
  2nd graders have begun their new unit on "Properties of Matter". Students have begun to analyze 'color' and 'texture' and will be spending time analyzing these in monster trucks in class! 6th Graders in Rm. 107 did extremely well in their concluding their robot unit. Shoutout to Group A who respectfully debated about the fairness of the constraints and penalties while their robots were going through the collection zone! It was a bittersweet moment for Rm. 107 to say goodbye to their robot chassis'! JMS students also celebrated their February incentive with creating stop-motion videos
