As spring continues and we hope for warmer weather, our scientists have been involved in several activities to help the Earth and go green.  Grades 3 and 5 did a fabulous job on their Earth Day Projects.    Some of their creative ideas were building birdhouses and bird feeders, cleaning up city parks and neighborhoods, planting trees and flowers, bake sales to raise money for St. Jude's Children Hospital, and clothing drives.  I am so proud of their enthusiasm and great spirit.  They made a big difference in the world around them and were an inspiration to others.

Pre-K scientists are learning about ocean life.  Kindergarten students are studying life cycles.  Grade 1 is working on an exciting unit creating scientific toys to learn about balance and motion.  Grade 2 is starting a unit on air and weather.  Each week one of them will be our guest meteorologist.  Grade 3 i continuing to work on electricity.  Grade 4 is preparing for the Citywide Science Test.  Parents please make sure that your children review and study each day.  Grade 5 inventors are working on their entries for the upcoming Invention Convention.  Good luck to all!!!
