Today, 5th graders developed the idea that chemical reactions create new materials that have useful and interesting properties. We learned that fireworks, rubber, and Silly Putty were all results of chemical reactions, some by accident! We experimented by combining different substances and watched for chemical reactions that created goo. Each student then created their own batch of green goo to take home!

Second Grade Grinches
Learning got Grinchy today in second grade!
We studied the story, picked out the problem and solution, and talked about how the Grinch changed his behavior and made a good choice to be KIND. We look up to the Grinch for having a change of heart and choosing to be kind!
We had phonics Grinch style with green pencils and talked in Grinch voices! We made a diagram of the Grinch, wrote the room with words that start with g (especially our sight words!) and we did some Grinchy math!
NHS Induction Ceremony
Spanish Christmas
The poinsettia is known as the “Flower of Christmas Eve.” The flower is native to Mexico and can also be found in Central America. It is named after the first United States Minister to Mexico, Joel Roberts Poinsett. The flower itself began being associated with Christmas in the 16th century.
Legend tells that a young girl, too poor to provide presents for Christmas, was told by an angel to gather weeds and take them to the church altar. The weeds then turned into beautiful poinsettias and began being associated with the holiday season all throughout Mexico.
“Feliz Navidad, a prospero ano y felicidad” is a traditional Christmas greeting meaning “Merry Christmas, a prosperous year and happiness.”
