Kid President's 20 Things We Should Say More Often

On Tuesday, I shared the following video with the class:

The students loved it so much, we watched it twice in a row!

This video was a great way to wrap up our second IB Unit of Inquiry, "How We Organize Ourselves"!  Throughout the past 6 weeks, we have talked about actons that we can take for the common good.  

Enjoy! 

First Grade Food Drive - 2013

The first grade food drive was a HUGE success!  Thanks to the generosity of the families and staff of Boulevard School, we were able to donate 364 cans, boxes, and packages of food to the Heights Emergency Food Center in time for Thanksgiving.

Together with Mrs. Deep's class, we wrote a letter to the students and staff of Boulevard School asking them for their help with our food drive.  Then, we made posters advertising our food drive.  We hung them throughout the school.

 

 

 

 On Tuesday, November 26th, we counted the 364 cans, boxes, and packages of food to be donated to the Heights Emergency Food Bank in time for Thanksgiving.

 

 

Field Trip To The Woodbury Science Lab (Magnets & Motion)

Last week, our class took a field trip to the Woodbury Science Lab.

Thank you to  Laini Krakovitz and Steve Zelin for chaperoning!

Mrs. Hochman taught us about motion and magnets.
We inquired, hypothesized, and experimented.
We also had time to explore the many different items in the lab.
