The school year is flying by. Here's what SAIL has been up to this month. 4th Grade ELA students wrote a lighthouse poem inspired by The Lighthouse by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
4th Grade math students learned about how the Fresnel lens revolutionized the light of lighthouses. Next month, students will learn about renewable energy involving tides. Check back next month as we build a tidal turbine!
ELA 5th graders are exploring many topics. Narragansett students are writing myths. Great Falls students are reading Elijah of Buxton, a story about a boy who is the first child born into freedom in Buxton, Canada. Village students finished their book study, A Mango Shaped Space, where a girl learns to appreciate her gift of synesthesia.
5th-grade math students learned about coordinate planes, ordered pairs, the x-axis, and the y-axis. They applied this knowledge to the game Battleship.
