📚🌱 Mrs. Sanders' 2nd grade class learned about the life cycle of plants by reading an informational text and planting lima beans! They are observing each stage of growth—seed to sprout! 🌿 #ScienceInAction #GrowingYoungMinds #2ndGradeLearning
"Welcome to the StarBooks Café!"
Before Fall Break, students in Mrs. Sanders 2nd grade class had a Book Tasting StarBooks day where they explored different books and worked on writing a book review. Students also worked with money to buy "coffee" and treats.
In recognition of "Grateful for our Friends" Week, PreK and Kindergarten S.M.A.S.H. students created a recipe for friendship. They included safe hands, love, helping when sick or hurt, kindness, and hugs.

The Sun emits various forms of light, including visible light that we can see, as well as invisible ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While UV radiation is not visible to the naked eye, it can damage our skin and even lead to skin cancer. Sunscreens work to protect us from this harmful UV radiation.
In this PLTW activity, each team explored how nanotechnology enhances the properties of sunscreens. The students then compared the characteristics of non-nano-enhanced and nano-enhanced sunscreens, and conducted an investigation to evaluate the effectiveness of both.
Through a hands-on PLTW project, students gained first-hand experience with the complexities of oil spill cleanup. By creating a simulated environment and deliberately contaminating it with oil, students learned about the devastating impacts of such spills.
In this PLTW lesson, students explored the fascinating chemical process that occurs when salt is added to ice. Through hands-on experiments grounded in applied chemistry principles, they discovered the intriguing effects of this interaction. This engaging activity not only deepened their understanding of the underlying scientific concepts, but also allowed them to apply this knowledge to make their own homemade ice cream - a delicious reward for their efforts.

Safe & Healthy/Fit Schools Committee meeting has been moved to Thurs. Sept. 5th @ 4:00 p.m.
This PLTW lesson challenged students to solve a complex problem by applying the principles of the design process to devise an effective solution. As these young engineers develop critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, they are gaining essential competencies that will serve them well in their academic and personal lives.
