Miss Pauling and Mrs. Seibert's friends are working hard on their gardening skills to make the earth a better place! They started by creating mini greenhouses with Mr. Moyer's high school, then moved on to composting! They learned how to make compost by saving nutrient rich food scrapes. They also learned for a successful compost they need a decomposer, so they added red worms! They are so excited for the soil they are creating!
Mr. Moyer's class hosted the first grade students as they are learning about how plants grow.
Today some of our 2nd Graders met virtually with some Middle School students at Newport to learn how to solve the Rubiks Cube algorithm. We had a lot fun making twists and turns to make a daisy, the first step in cracking the Rubiks code.

First grade celebrated the snow flurries on Friday in different ways! First, they had a "snow ball fight" with their current trick words and words of the day from Fundations. The kiddos had to read their words, then crumbled them to play. After playing, they had to pick up a snow ball and read the new word. Then, they made exploding snowmen. They watched the chemical reaction created by baking soda and vinegar inflate their snowmen!
In honor of Women's History Month, Miss Pauling's friends read about the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We learned that she fought for equal rights for women and men of all races. To represent her time in the court system, we made our own scales of justice! The kiddos built a scale out of a hanger, cups, yarn, a ruler, and tape. Before building, they had to create and sketch a plan for all of the materials. Then, they made predictions about how many tokens a classroom item would weigh. We then tested how many actual tokens would balance the scale. Lastly, they subtracted to find the difference between the two.
An amazing group of our high school students traveled to Harrisburg to see a stage production of "The Diary of Anne Frank" and hear from a Holocaust speaker, Lillian Rappaport.

Not pictured are the awesome faculty and staff who accompanied the students today.
Mrs. Nastasi’s freshman English classes hosted a career fair, highlighting their research into a career they would like to pursue in the future.

Student-created projects included live presentations, videos, brochures, infographics, posters, and websites.
