Our school counseling team is ready to jump into this new school year with all of our students and families! We are excited to share with you that we will be using a program called Character Strong that includes lessons and activities that will help students tackle challenges and be successful inside and outside of school.

Today Mr. Hellman’s Social Studies class started learning about energy. We learned that there are two types: potential and kinetic. We used the example of a defensive football player (Mr. H) and a quarterback (student). Before the ball is hiked they are both at rest but ready to go or use energy (potential). Once the ball is hiked both players are moving and expending energy (kinetic). Mr. H finished with a game winning tackle!
The 5th graders had their first STEM challenge in science today! Using spaghetti noodles, string, tape, and a marshmallow, they worked in teams to build the tallest structure. The only twist: the marshmallow had to be on top! It was awesome to see their creative designs and hear them collaborating with other students.

Today in Mr. Hellman’s math class the students discussed how math can be powerful. The class brainstormed ways that math is used in every day life including things such as Engineering, professional sports, retail and more. It was a great lesson for students to see that math is everywhere, especially fractions when dividing a pizza!
