Things that glow in the dark can seem like magic, but they’re really chemistry! The sixth graders are investigating if the temperature can speed up or slow down the rate of the reaction of glow sticks.
Sixth graders learned that molecules are two or more atoms chemically combined. They were tasked with identifying the different elements and the number of atoms in each molecule. Next, they had to build models of the molecules using toothpicks & marshmallows!
Student council has many fun activities planned for this month! Today Mrs Huntoon hid ornaments around the building. When found they are turned in for candy canes. Look at how many were found already!! (They will not be so easy to find next time!)

We have a 2nd student who filled their 1st stamp page!! Congratulations!!
Keep up those ROARS!
At the beginning of Trimester 2 (November 21st) we kicked off our new ROARS rewards program. ROARS stands for Respect Others Act Responsibly and be Safe.
Each student was given a ROARS stamp sheet. Each sheet contains 30 boxes in which a staff member can place a stamp. Students may earn stamps by displaying the characteristics of ROARS. When a student fills up their stamp page (30 stamps) they can either cash in their stamp page for a reward or save it and get a larger reward (3 stamp pages gets a larger reward).
Today we had our first student fill up their stamp page! We are so proud of her and all of our students who are getting very close to their first reward!
