4Groenveld's science classes discovering the effects of weathering on rocks!
5Gesualdo/Thomson, we couldn't be prouder of you for showing your compassionate hearts! 💕 Our students collected new and gently used pencils, pencil cases, pencil sharpeners, and erasers that were given to students in Africa who didn't have these valuable resources. ✏️
The 5th grade GATE crew started building their robots! Eventually these bots will deliver ice cold beverages to the staff. A fully automated refreshment bot is headed your way! 🤖🦾
Students in 4G have fully immersed themselves in our biography unit! After thoughtfully interviewing their relatives, Ms. Guarnieri sparked curiosity and inquiry-based learning by sharing artifacts from her own life. Students eagerly observed, wondered, and made inferences by collaborating with one another to build ideas, share perspectives, and deepen their understanding of how we can learn about a person’s story through meaningful details. We can’t wait to see how this curiosity continues to grow as students begin exploring the lives of notable figures!
5 Modesto/Azouri had an engaging and informative Picturing America lesson led by one of our class moms. The students were fully involved and enjoyed creating their own unique pieces of artwork to share with the class. 🎨🖌️🖼️
4O'Rourke at the Dater School Silent Disco!!! 💃 🕺 🪩 🎧
On the carpet, she dove into reading an article with curiosity and courage. Sounding out tricky words, asking questions and never giving up. Learning isn't always easy, but effort like this is what growth looks like in Mrs. McGowan's class.
📢 Last call!! Get your book orders in ASAP to get signed by New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Tarshis! ✍️ 📖
Thank you to the amazing parent volunteers for spending hours and hours setting up the Camp Read-A-Lot Book Fair today! It starts tomorrow and the students are so excited! 🏕️ 🔥 📚
Family Night is also tomorrow from 3-6. We hope to see you all there!
Also- Congratulations to our 5th grade student who won a private shopping event for himself and a friend from Teacher Treasures!
A Teacher Treasure was enjoyed today!! Thank you, Joe, from Sal's Pizza , for opening up early just for us! 🍕
It's here!!! 📚📚📚The Book Fair books have officially arrived, and are sitting in the Dater Media Center waiting to be unboxed! The students are jumping for joy with excitement! 😁😁
Remember to set up your Ewallet before Thursday!
Overheard during a 5th grade Socratic Seminar discussing the finer points of an ancient Greek democracy and an ancient Roman republic: the benefits of voting in all decisions versus electing a consul to represent you, the conditions of plebeians leading to the 12 Tables of Law to make life fairer with the patricians. These are some intelligent 5th graders!
The 5Frandino class acted as scientists while they learned and reflected upon this week's current event topic: Artemis II! 🚀
Dater students are supporting students in Guayaramerin, Bolivia by organizing a Bagel Break. The proceeds will go to buy school supplies. Gracias!! 🥯🥯🥯
Dater students absolutely light up when they spot their former teachers from Tisdale and Hubbard visiting the building for their professional learning. Their faces fill with excitement as they run over to say hello, eager to share how much they’ve grown. These sweet, unexpected reunions are a beautiful reminder that the connections built in those early years truly last. 💙💛🐏
Learners in 4Horton became historians yesterday, investigating the items traded between Europeans and Native Americans and analyzing their impact. They thought critically about who benefited most and supported their ideas with evidence. So proud of their thoughtful discussions and insights!
Don't you love when learning feels like a game? 4O'Hern students did trivia to reinforce concepts they learned before break -- what fun! 🛎️🧠😀
Always so grateful when parent volunteers come in to share an activity with the students. Meet the Masters with a study on stained glass was thoroughly enjoyed by the students in 5Jezequel!! Thank you volunteers! 🎨🖼️
Students in 5Gesualdo/Thomson practice giving their TED talks and sharing feedback in small groups before the "Big Day!"
5Gesualdo/Thomson cleaned up simulated oil spills and reflected on the impacts of them on the environment. Cleaning up a simulated oil spill helps students soak up science concepts in a hands-on way!
