1st grade has been talking about adjectives, words that describe something! We used grapes today and came up with different adjectives to describe the grapes!
2nd grade students using math counters to learn about equal groups and how to write repeated addition equations.
1st grade in reading we have been talking about the layers of the Earth! We used a hard boiled egg for a demonstration today. The eggshell represented the crust, the white part represented the mantle, and the yellow yolk represented the core!
CAL Will Remain the Cadets
Thank you for your comments and suggestions regarding the possibility of changing the mascot. In the end, there is overwhelming support to maintain the current mascot. We have worked so hard to create a positive and progressive school experience that students, parents, and the community can be proud of. The last thing the school district would want is losing our current strong support of CAL and its traditions. Moving forward, we will talk with students about what it means to be a Cadet so that tradition can continue.
Thank you again for your input and "Go Cadets!"
6th grade and 3rd grade enjoyed some time together this afternoon for our "All School" PBIS scavenger hunt reward.
1st grade has been learning about the different layers of the Earth in reading. In science we planted corn in different layers-rock, soil, clay, and sand. We will then watch and see which one the corn grows best in!
1st grade enjoyed having the dentist come talk about brushing and flossing correctly! Learned what sugar can do to our teeth!
6th grade has been learning about elements, molecules, compounds, and mixtures in science. This week they have been working on creating models with marshmallows and toothpicks!
1st grade watched the groundhog video today and learned we have 6 more weeks of winter. No one was very excited about that!
Kindergarten loved the visit from Central Park dentistry! They learned all about how to take care of their teeth!
2nd grade students are learning about Westward Expansion in the United States in Reading Knowledge. Today, they worked together to measure out the size of a covered wagon bed to investigate how it might have felt to travel in for months at a time.
1st grade enjoyed graphing with the bee bots. We graphed different hours of daylight in different areas for science!
❄️❄️Snowball fight! 4th grade practiced our multi digit multiplication with a really fun activity today. ❄️❄️
More information will be coming soon for the details on the science fair!
2nd grade has been busy preparing for their science fair! They began by creating a materials list for the experiment that they will be investigating!
3rd grade began their unit on life cycles, adaptations, and genetic traits! They are starting by researching how the life cycles of animals in our school are unique and diverse, but also all include birth, growth, reproduction, and death. Students are researching using their iPads and library texts!
1st grade has been learning about stars in reading. They have also been learning about the sky and stars in science. Today during innovation club, students got to view the sky from different places in the world using our virtual reality goggles!
2nd grade students started their morning working together to complete puzzles.
1st grade enjoyed donuts for reaching their PBIS reward and had juice boxes with it for doing well on a reading and a math test!
4th grade has been learning about energy and energy transfer in science. They have discussed that when thermal energy (heat) is present it means molecules are moving fast. Today they experimented with food coloring dispersion in different temperatures of water…. That were able to see that the fast moving molecules in very hot water dispersed the dye more evenly and much more quickly than the slow moving molecules in ice water. This was a fun hands on lesson!
2nd grade students have been learning about life cycles in Reading. Yesterday, they wrote informational paragraphs about the stages in a frog’s life cycle.
