On Monday, students learned about volcanos in two ways. First, in science, we learned about how volcanos erupt by viewing a video, reading a non-fiction passage, and making a model volcano. Next, in our social skills class, we read a book called "Don't Blow Your Top" and related big emotions to a volcano erupting. Students practiced strategies like deep breathing and counting to 10 when those feelings occur.

The fifth graders are learning about making inferences. One engaging way they practiced this skill was by watching Pixar short films. While watching the films, students were asked to make inferences about different scenes and identify clues from the film that supported their thinking and helped them make their inferences.


🧪🎬 Throwback Thursday! 🎬🧪
Our 5th graders wrapped up their Matter Unit with a little throwback to one of the classics—Bill Nye the Science Guy!
After learning about matter and its changes, students got to enjoy some good old-fashioned Bill Nye science fun to finish off the unit! Nothing like a little throwback science to end a great unit!

In Mr. Cole Johnson's Exploratory Class, groups created cupcake shops with their cupcakes, calculated the price for all the ingredients when making certain number of cupcakes in the dozens. Then each person in the group had a job to make a flyer, menu, or showcase of two new cupcakes for their shop. The projects are coming together and looks really neat.



In Personal Finance, students played the budgeting bean game. Each group is given only so many beans to use in different areas of life (housing, food, transportation, saving, etc.) We had a lot of fun seeing how different groups prioritize different parts of their life and what we would cut if we had less beans.

Congratulations to Mrs. Deurmier's class who won the August attendance award with 99.22% attendance.

The eighth graders are playing wiffle ball this week for PE.
