The kindergarten has been learning about force and motion. As part of this unit, they explored how speed affects force by programming Ozobots to bowl. They explored how the different color codes change the speed of the robot and how the speed affects how the bowling pins are knocked down.
The first graders participated in a distance learning project centered around the book The Mitten. After reading the book, the students identified one animal to write clues about. On February 7th and 8th, each class had a video conference with schools from Long Island and Roscoe, NY. The classes learned about each other's schools, communities, and then shared their clues in a guess the animal from the book game.
Mr. Galofaro's library classes and Mrs. Zappie's Media classes joined together to enjoy National Day of Play!
