Students have been making macaroni and cheese art paintings this week. They are quite colorful and very unusual. They are enjoying experimenting with color and paint.
We are learning about living things, their characteristics, and the many ways to tell the difference between living and non-living things. Also class 7W had a fun time at our pizza party on Tuesday, October 7th. Thanks parents!

We are learning about how plants need carbon dioxide to live, humans need oxygen to survive, and both need each other to live and grow.

The students have been borrowing one book of their choosing and the second has been a biography. We have talked about biographies. They have been writing about what they are reading, about who they read and what they learned about that person. They have also been experimenting with writing their own biographies. We have had a great time in the library.

We are focusing on a book that reinforces the letter of the week. For the letter “L” we read “Library Lion.” They enjoyed the “Lion’s” loudest roar. For the letter “H” we read “Hurty Feelings.” The students closed their eyes throughout the whole story and imagined the pictures. At the end of the period the students got to look at the actual illustrations. They also took a small book home to color based on the letter of the week.

We have been reading books that focus on the letter of the week. For the letter “B” we read “Franklin’s Bicycle Helmet”. We talked about using a helmet to keep our heads safe. They colored a picture of Franklin on his bicycle.

We have been reading books about fall. We read “Fall Is For Friends” and “We Are Going On A Leaf Hunt.” We have gone over the different colors that leaves turn into and have been creating and coloring our own leaves.

Our High school Photography students are learning how to take professional portraits. We will learn that to take a good picture is not just to “point and shoot.” There is a method that will help ensure good quality pictures. This is what they are learning to do along with the different effects of natural to artificial light.
Eleventh grade Spanish is learning to put into practice what they have learned over the past two years. We will be doing exciting projects to help reinforce this knowledge. This will enable the students to succeed when taking the regents test.
