Mr. Taylor's class explored physics in ecology by investigating different types of energy and energy transfers in our environment.
They then put their understanding into action by playing Silent Ball, using the activity to identify and review the different forms of energy we encounter in the world around us!

"What if the most important lesson in PE this year isn't about throwing, catching, or running?
Last week, our students began the year with a lesson called "Be the Bee."
It comes from an old story: ask a fly what it's seen, and it will describe every pile of trash in the yard. Ask a bee, and it will describe every flower. Same yard, but each one is wired and trained to notice something different. Students learned that people are the same way. Some are quick to spot what's wrong with others. Some are quick to spot what's good.
Through our activity, students practiced being the bee with each other: noticing effort, encouraging a struggling teammate, and calling out good plays instead of mistakes. It's not about ignoring challenges or mistakes. It's about choosing, on purpose, what you look for in the people around you.
Each class received a small bee to put up in their class as a reminder to be the bee. When you have a chance, ask your student about the story of the bee and the fly!

Mrs. Shoemaker's students listened and watched a read aloud of the book The Dot, then each student turned the dot on their paper into a picture!
Ms. Blair’s 3rd Grade class uses the Zones of Regulation for their daily Social-Emotional check In. What an awesome way to check on every student!
