How did the Environmental Science class do with their week of creating water filters?
Well, I don't think that they should quit their day jobs and invent the new LifeStraw, but there certainly was improvement. There was a consensus on what materials worked better than others.
Using natural items such as dirt and gravel helped --> very similar to how the earth naturally filters water.
Funny though, one water filter sprouted a little plant

Elementary Enrichment Day on Friday, September 18th! It's time for our Soccer Spectacular! And best of all...it's free this year!
This past week in kindergarten, we played a game called Knock it down. It teaches us more or less, up to 6. We rolled a dice and built a snap cube tower according to what we rolled. If our tower had more than our opponents, we got to knock their tower down. It is so fun to compare the size of our towers and use our math words more and less.

Our math students put their ratio skills to the test by scaling recipes and making their own cookie dough! From calculating ingredient ratios to measuring and mixing, students got to see how math works in the real world—and enjoy a sweet reward for their hard work. From the science lens, this was a great way to begin our unit on atoms and elements. They used this opportunity to turn the macroscopic, into edible chemical reactions. This helped them recognize how elements interact in the world we live in while deepening their understanding of ratios in math! Thank you Mrs. Isaacson for inviting us to have this team learning experience.
Meal Accounts: A Change For This Year
Every student's lunch balance was brought to zero last week thanks to 1GPA, so every family starts fresh.
Going forward, a student may charge up to 100 dollars in meals before the school offers an alternate meal. That is a change from prior years and it is written into our Free and Reduced Price Meal Policy, which the Arizona Department of Education has approved.
If your balance runs low, you can add funds through Campus Pay or send payment to either school office.
If your family's situation has changed, a free and reduced meal application can be filed at any time during the year.

What a fun time at the first Junior High dance yesterday! A big shoutout to our Student Council for their hard work behind the scenes and to all our students for showing great spirit and participation. Thanks for making the first dance of the year one to remember! 🙌🎶
What would you build with 20-3x5 cards, 15-3x5 card quarters, 20 small paper clips, 5 large paper clips, and a 6-inch piece of masking tape?
Earth and Space students were tasked with using all of their materials to build the tallest building that would survive an Earthquake.
Using a Chladni Plate for the Earthquake, students started out at 30 Hz and went down in number.
The lower the Hz, the more "shaking". The lowest achieved was 15 Hz before the building fell off the plate --> that is a lot of shaking.

Oh the Tangled Webs we Weave . . . .
Biology took made-up creatures, gave them attributes based off of the appearance, and then created a Food Web.
Typically, a Food Web is thought of as a pyramid, but students quickly discovered that it was a tangled web.

We are incredibly proud of our elementary students for their hard work. Through daily determination, they are closing achievement gaps and mastering tough grade-level skills. Your growth is truly inspiring!
To support this progress, our school uses purposeful digital tools. We use these tools during designated classes and specific times to provide targeted, individualized practice tailored to each student's needs - about 1/2 hour and 15 questions per day per child.
However, we want to emphasize that these tools are used with specific intent—they will never replace our teachers.
Technology provides data and practice, but only our teachers provide the inspiration, guidance, and heart that truly help our students thrive.
Thank you to our dedicated educators and hard-working students!

Kindergarten made slime to help us remember letter i says "iii". Having a physical object is a good way to make connections in our brain with abstract concepts. Letter i doesn't like slime because it is "icky". Now kindergarten students know to wrinkle their nose and say "i" just like letter i says to slime.
