Thank you so much for the Legos in STEM and for other small groups. We have designed airplanes after reading Violet the Pilot. A wonderful book about a STEM girl who creates and makes a very good decision in the end . We plan on some other build challenges. Students just love designing new things with Legos.
Sincerely, Mrs. Moran

During Art/PE, Mr. Martin and Coach Morgan show students how to design paper airplanes on the new big screen in the gym. Then students are given an opportunity to color, design and make modifications to their airplane before the throwing competition. The two types of throws we worked on is throwing for distance and throwing for accuracy.

Mrs. Clouse's class had a blast on our walking field trip to Main Street in Weaverville. Third grade visited local businesses to learn about economic principles such as supply and demand. As you can see, students also had lots of fun taking silly photos along the way! Thank you to Prescription Pad, Keller Williams, and Trout Insurance for welcoming us!

UKULELE UNIT! Ukuleles are fantastic instruments where we can apply everything we have learned as we sing and accompany ourselves simultaneously! This is a fantastic brain workout as we sing with pitch, rhythm and lyrics, coordinating our left hand changing chords and our right hand strumming. Sounds overwhelming? Surprisingly, it's quite natural! Our students gain a lot of fine and gross motor skills, and develop skills for learning other string instruments! Head over to Mrs. Dauphinais' website to see the songs we are learning, and how to play them at home if you have a ukulele (or want to get one!)

You can always see what your child is up to in music classes by following this link - it is updated throughout the year with what we are doing, listening to, and videos as well!

Mrs. Berzinski's second grade class is making kazoos as we learn about sound chains: the source of the sound, the mediums through which soundwaves travel, and the receiver of the sound. We used the soundwaves that kazoos produce to watch salt & sugar crystals bounce atop a homemade drum!

Martha Linsley came in to read to Mr Hintz's class in celebration of Read Across America. She read an amazing book titled "My Great Aunt Arizona" by Gloria Houston. The students loved hearing about a woman who taught in her small mountain town for most of her life. Thanks Ms Linsley!
