100th Day Love

We celebrated the 100th day of school on February 5th. Miss Linville's kindergarteners challenged themselves to read 100 books in 1 hour on the 100th day. The students came to the Media Center and loved spending time reading their favorites! For each book read they read, the students added a book to the chart. Afterwards, we counted by 10s to make sure we had made it all the way to 100. Congratulations, readers!

5th Grade Ecosystems

5th graders in Ms. Fava's class have been learning about food chains and food webs as part of their Ecosystems unit. The class visited the Media Center last week to use a great multimedia learning website from Scholastic called Science Studyjams. On day 1, we watched this video on Food Chains as a class. We paused the video often to discuss important ideas and vocabulary in collaborative pairs. Students also wrote about their learning in their science journals.







One day 2, students worked in collaborative pairs to watch the Food Webs video. They made comparisons to the food chains video and extended their thinking about complex food systems and the environment. Great job, 5th graders!

The Studyjams videos are wonderful learning tools to help reinforce the Science essential standards. There are also videos available to support the Math Common Core standards.
