Hello 2022!

2022 is off to a great start! 

Narragansett's 5th Grade students created a Stop Motion Video for Mrs. Sawyer's Career Unit.  CHECK IT OUT!

WHAT CAREERS ARE YOU INTERESTED IN?

4th Grade mathematicians learned about area models.  They also made a connection to archeologists who use this skill.  Archeologists can use area models when planning to excavate a dig site.  After calculating their own dig site using an area model, they searched for "artifacts."  

4th Grade ELA worked on opinion writing about this interesting topic, Should people eat bugs?  The students stated their opinions with thoughtful reasoning.  Well, what do you think?

 

ENDING THE YEAR ON A HIGH NOTE!

SAIL's been busy this month with various activities to keep our brains challenged and our curiosities engaged.  

We analyzed the poem "Bear In There" by Shel Silverstein.  We looked for alliteration examples in the poem and created our own. We finished the lesson by making an origami bear.    

Students at Village are working on prime and composite numbers.  They're writing down a number's factors to determine if it's a prime or composite number.  

5th Graders at Narragansett are working on a special project for Mrs. Sawyer's Social Skills class.  They are creating a Stop Motion video about careers.  

Students at Great Falls participating in the SAIL Study and Research Lab.  They are working hard to investigate a curiosity as they fill out their Discovery Slips.
