That afternoon, fifth graders will make their second trip to three local streams to monitor water conditions for the South Branch Watershed. A final class trip is planned for June 2 to Sandy Hook as part of the oceanography unit of study. Sixth graders have begun their dissection of animals. They have dissected the earthworm and grasshopper, and students are eagerly looking forward to their continuation with the frog and fetal pig. During the month of April, Mrs. Kormondy, Mrs. Bayuk, and Mrs. Suchovic will assist students with their exciting mask maker activity, mythological beasts.
Literature includes historical fiction, as well as preparation for the publication of a class book.
Teachers are preparing students for the Math Game Day, another well-anticipated activity, which takes place on April 19th. By Any Means Necessary. They are in the process of studying similarities and differences between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. The students are making genealogy charts of the three generations of their families. The charts help students visualize the extent of how many people were exterminated under Hitler's master plan.
