Working Together and Reaching Higher

Soften That Sound

First grade students wrap up their work as “acoustical engineers” in our STEAM classroom with Ms. Lyczynski. Before they began their culminating project they learned how to soften a sound and a lot of new vocabulary like decibels, pitch and volume. Ms. Lyczynski was very impressed with their use of the working vocabulary detailed designs, working as a team, and willingness to make changes to their designs if needed! Students were able to test the efficiency their “piece of technology” on an iPad application. Pictured here are Mrs. Arruda’s students working to improve their prototypes!

Collaborating Mathematically 

Fourth grade students, Sarah K. and Noelle S., challenge themselves with looking at how line plots help us to see and compare a set of data. Practice makes perfect as they seek to analyze quickly and easily.

She Shoots- She Scores!

Second grade athlete, Meya Perry, shows her skill in the “basketball Unit”.  This week students practice shooting and rebounding.  Attention to form is key!  Mr. Kepnes encourages students to remember the acronym B.E.E.F.  Students must be attentive to B-ase, E-lbow, E-xtend and   F-ollow Though.   I do believe she’s got it!

Grand Opening!

The “Kennon’s Kids Emporium” opened this week at Palmer River School.  Stocked with trinkets, toys and school supplies- the students in room 12 created a shopping experience that could not be beat!  Students created the store, applied for jobs with an opinion writing activity and even interviewed for their position.  Both Mrs. Miguel and Mrs. DuBois were honored to be invited as the store’s first shoppers.  What a memorable learning activity for all.
