Here are some photos to help your child understand how to create his/her portion of the Travel Extravaganza game board.  It is my hope that the children will have a lot of fun with this project.

Fun with First Grade Friends

The students traveled to the HOD on Friday, April 15th to participate in an anti-bullying activity with the first graders.  The students read books with their partners and designed posters to represent their understanding of the lessons presented within the books.

Ozobots have arrived!

The students were very excited to explore the latest addition to our technology offerings, the Ozobot. The students watched the Ozobot in action and then worked to program it on their own.  We look forward to exploring more ways in which this technology can enhance our learning.

Our Class "Rocks"

The students have taken on the role of junior geologists in our current science unit. We had some fun recently as we modeled the different kinds of rocks with some fun snack foods.  The students made metamorphic rocks out of Starburst candy, igneous rock fudge and sedimentary rock sandwiches.

Google Expeditions

We were so lucky to have a visit from a Google representative today.  The children were able to test out a new product for Google Cardboard called Google Expeditions.  We were able to take virtual field trips to Canada, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef and the Moon.  What fun!

King Philip National Honor Society

Several students from the National Honor Society at KPHS came for a visit yesterday to teach our students about energy.  The students viewed a powerpoint presentation and then went to the cafeteria to experiment with potential vs. kinetic energy.
