A group of 2nd graders accepted the challenge to learn how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. They partnered with a group of middle schoolers from Newport and over the last 2 weeks spent time learning the algorithms from them over Zoom and practicing on their own. Today the middle school students visited Greenwood and continued to guide them through the algorithms. Amazing to see these second graders take on this challenge. After all this hard work and determination their smiles say everything! Thanks to Mrs. Rumberger and Mrs. Foor for setting this up and to a very helpful group of Newport middle school students!

Miss Pauling and Mrs. Seibert hosted an astronaut day on Friday. They studied features of outer space all week, then put their knowledge to the test! First they drafted applications to become astronauts. Then, they soared through space completing phonics centers based on their fundation skills. They tested their comprehension with space themed fill in the blanks. During math, they created space graphs and interpreted the data they collected. They also created their own constellation math word problems! For STEM, they studied the properties of light by creating constellations out of paper plates!

Today first grade took a field trip to the Whitaker Center. They got to experience so many hands on STEM based projects! The kiddos loved seeing some of their favorite book characters in an interactive display called The Questioneers. They also got to experience different storm simulators, which was a huge hit! They also watched a 3D documentary about journeying to space. It was a great day!

Miss Pauling and Mrs. Seibert's friends are working hard on their gardening skills to make the earth a better place!

They also learned for a successful compost they need a decomposer, so they added red worms! They are so excited for the soil they are creating!
Mr. Moyer's class hosted the first grade students as they are learning about how plants grow.
Today some of our 2nd Graders met virtually with some Middle School students at Newport to learn how to solve the Rubiks Cube algorithm. We had a lot fun making twists and turns to make a daisy, the first step in cracking the Rubiks code.
