A few more from last week's Happy Day....we are back and ready to hit the books today!
Another successful Happy Day in the books! Thank you to all who made today extra special. The Middle School wishes you a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Middle School Environmental Students had a blast at the New Jersey School of Conservation!
In 6th grade Science, students recently used crayons to simulate the rock cycle that happens in nature. During the process they created sediments, sedimentary, metamorphic, igneous rocks and melted them down to magma to observe all of the different processes involved in the rock cycle. What an engaging activity to help students internalize the various rock formations!
Thank you to all who are supporting our "Basketball for a Cause". Our gym is packed with spectators, our court is filled with passionate athletes, and our donation pile is quickly growing! Thank you Student Council, P.E. teachers, and Police Department for making this possible!
Today we welcomed Responsive Classroom to work alongside 25+ K-8 educators on teacher/student language. Educators learned activities and strategies that help
students practice core speaking/listening skills, explored and practiced effective teacher
language that deepens student academic engagement and learning and collaborated across building levels in breakout sessions.
