Students in 3rd grade have been working on Geometry concepts. Here are some figures of exploration with various polygons to see how they can be used in creating everyday objects.

On December 9 students in fifth and third grades saw a wonderful presentation by the Lackey family. Mrs. Lackey, Skip and Katie shared photographs, stories, and cultural mementos from their recent travels to Uganda. The family made the trip earlier this year to bring home Skip and Katie’s new younger brother. While in Africa they saw and photographed wildlife such as lions, giraffes, and hippos. They experienced, first hand, a very different culture that was both beautiful in the arts, crafts, music and dance, and heartbreaking in its poverty.
 
The Lackey family then shared some samples of the native foods they had enjoyed in Uganda. TIS students agreed that this was an outstanding way to experience a unique culture through the camera lens and words and experiences of their classmates, Skip and Katie.

Computer class: Students in 6th Grade are using Publisher 2013 to create 12 month calendar with cover page. Students in 5th grade are using Publisher 2013 to create a Bird place mat (11 x 17).

5th Grade is studying Informative writing. They were assigned an animal to research and then write an informative piece about their animal.  The students have really been enjoying learning about animals such as big cats, elephants, rhinos, sea turtles, and polar bears. They will come back to this project again when we learn about opinion writing.

February is designated as “Heart Month” by the American Heart Association.  We have all been or are currently being affected by someone with heart health issues.  In physical education class students are going to spend 1 hour during the week of February 6- 10, 2017, participating in a ”Hoops for Heart Rate Monitors” event.   Our goal is $1,500.  This system is a way for students to see firsthand the importance of a healthy heart.  It allows them to observe how their heart functions during exercise.   Happy, healthy kids perform better in school!

Throughout the month of October, students in Mrs. Broschart’ W.I.N. group read a novel.  In order to summarize the book, students chose a project to show their understanding of literary concepts.  Some students chose to write poems.  Some chose to create a “Book Box” with drawings and objects to represent the novel.  Power Point slideshows were created too. In addition to those, a few members created an online “Kahoot” quiz show.  

Student from TIS took time out to give out special hand crafted Christmas cards. They also brightened up the hearts at .... with Christmas Carols. 

Students in Mrs.Hobczuk's Social Studies classes have finished a unit on Ancient Egypt. Students learned all about Egypt, including pyramids. Students colored their own Egyptian pyramid and some treasures to put inside. Then they cut it out and put the treasures inside before taping the pyramid together. Their pyramids are all very unique as to how they would want their pyramid to look if they were in Ancient Egypt. 

In our unit on States of Matter, we are learning to classify substances as solids, liquids, or gases using physical properties. We are also describing how these properties can be changed. Some types of matter (like slime) are mixtures. We combined a solid with two liquids to make something totally different. Mixtures don't follow the rules of matter, but they are fun to experiment with!
