New Units and Music Concert

School of the Wild and 5th grade adventures have come to a close and we have memories that will last a lifetime. When I look back on my week in the wild each year, I count those days as some of the best in my professional and personal life. Students shine at Lake McBride from the way they inquire about nature around them, to the ways they go out of their way to help others.

Thank you to parent volunteers who came to help during our 6th grade SOW week! I hope you enjoyed the time together with Hoover students.

NEW SCIENCE UNIT - MAGNETS AND MOTORS!

Throughout this new unit, students will be encountering phenomena and formulating questions about their experiences. This unit about magnetism and electricity mirrors the historical development of our understanding and use of magnetism. electricity and electromagnetism. Students investigate magnets and compasses. They'll learn about electricity from batteries, then electromagnetism from motors and generators. Students will reflect on their own involvement with magnets and may discover that like many people, we sometimes take magnets for granted. How might the world we live in be a very different place if magnetism and the electricity it allows us to produce were never investigated scientifically?

Poetry is all around us. Students have begun to draw inspiration, inspire those around them and create poems that lift, crush, highlight and invoke peace. In our April Poetry month, students will learn many different characteristics poets use in their poetry, analyze, reflect and create poetry of their own.
