Another ripple of kindness! One of these 4th-grade students has a personal connection to St. Jude's and wanted to organize a fundraiser to support the children's research hospital. The answer- ABSOLUTELY!
On Thursday, January 25th, the team will be selling elephant-themed water bottle stickers and charms for $1.00. Proceeds will go directly to St. Jude's. Thank you! 🐘💜
5th graders are working on their Astronomy project. Each 5th grader is creating a model (poster, slideshow, or 3D model) that explains a Spectacular Sight in the Sky. Their project explains either a Blood Moon, the Northern Lights, a Solar Eclipse, or why a Meteor flashes across the sky. - Mr. Janski, Grade 5 Teacher

Students from Mr. Freeman's 3rd grade class were having fun acting out a scene from a Second Step lesson to show and explain what it means to have empathy and respect for one another.

#KindnessMatters
Kindness keeps rippling at Wells Road! Here are 2 more students who want to make our community a better place.
We are accepting donations to the Simon Foundation animal shelter until Tuesday, November 21st.
We are grateful for your support! 🐾
Students in Mr. Faber's class have been hard at work extending their thinking and reasoning using vertical whiteboards. The boards have allowed students to effectively collaborate and share their thinking with other groups in an easy way. Students love to be standing up to work on math or writing.
Students investigated how differences in lava types explain differences in the shape and eruption patterns among volcanoes. In the activity, Bubble Trouble, students compared two different types of "lava" -- thin and thick. They use this information to figure out why volcanoes have different shapes and how the type of lava explains why some volcanoes explode. - Mrs. DiNuzzo, 4th Grade Teacher
From our friends at GMHS . . .
Students in Mrs. Carrozzo's third grade groups are having fun being word detectives and sorting words by vowel sound and syllable type. Understanding and being able to tell the difference between short and long vowel sounds just by listening is important for reading and writing! Knowing the distinction between short and long vowels also helps students when trying to determine the type of syllable. Students are enjoying working together to figure out how to sort these pictures and words!
Great visit to all the schools today for some Halloween fun!
Fifth grade students spend NOW time working with peers on challenging math problems and logic puzzles. - Katie Busbey, Instructional Specialist
In Miss. Belanger’s 3rd grade class, the students are practicing creating arrays from multiplication problems!
