🌱 Jack and the Beanstalk Meets STEM! 🌱
Mrs. Constable’s class took a magical journey into the world of Jack and the Beanstalk with a fun, hands-on STEM challenge! After reading the classic fairy tale and exploring how structure and function work together, students were challenged to build the tallest freestanding beanstalk using only FOUR pipe cleaners! 🌿🏗️ With creativity, problem-solving, and a little engineering magic, students twisted, bent, and designed their beanstalks to see whose creation could reach the highest without falling over! Once their masterpieces were complete, students compared their heights and practiced sequencing them from tallest to shortest. 📏✨ This exciting activity brought literacy, science, engineering, and math together while showing our young innovators that even the smallest materials can inspire BIG ideas! 🌟💚

🎃🔎 Pumpkin Detectives: A Family Science & Writing Adventure! 🍂🧡 Mrs. Johnson's young scientists turned into pumpkin detectives as they explored the exciting world of properties of matter with their families! Using their senses, students observed their pumpkins’ colors, textures, and shapes while estimating and measuring their height and circumference. They made predictions about what might be hiding inside, compared the inside and outside of their pumpkins, and investigated their discoveries through hands-on learning! 🧪📏 Students then put their writing skills to work by using their observations as evidence to describe their pumpkins and share what they learned. What a wonderful way to bring science, writing, creativity, and family time together! We love seeing our students observe, measure, predict, compare, investigate, and write while making unforgettable memories with their families! 🎃🍁👏
Mrs. Johnson's 2nd Grade students were putting their writing and teamwork skills to the test! ✏️📚 Using the CUPS strategy (Capitalization, Usage, Punctuation, and Spelling), students worked to unscramble sentences and turn them into complete, meaningful thoughts. They then collaborated to place their sentences in sequential order, using transition words to help their stories flow smoothly! 🌟 As an added bonus, our sharp-eyed learners even spotted spelling words and red words throughout the story! We love seeing our students think critically, work together, and celebrate their learning! Good job, good job! 👏👏💗

Students in Mrs. Briseño's class worked together to create one design to reduce the sun's warming effect while at the beach. Before building they sketched many ideas and voted on one design as a class to create. Students had pom poms, pipe cleaners, wooden dowels, foil, saran wrap, modeling clay, popsicle sticks, a foam board, glue sticks and scissors.
