MakerSpace Toy Lab

Today in Science we are building toys related to gravitational, elastic and magnetic potential energy. This is based on STEAM- Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.

Congrats to our Salsa Winners- All from Currie's Homeroom!
Cam and Sophie- Tied for 2nd
Mya- 1st Place!

We also made mold/ cast fossils today in Science and celebrated Pi Day in math.

Glacier Labs

Today in science we made glacier lab models that represented glacial plucking and glacial abrasion.


Thank you to the families that sent in soap (our bedrock).

Happy Halloween From Science Class

Today in Science we dissected owl pellets. We used them to discuss the owl's food web. Students found skulls of rodents and birds, plus other interesting bones.

The Joker had a skull too!

September and October Updates

Wow the first month of school flew by! Here are some updates from Room #220.

In September, we had a visit from Hannah Schauer, a wildlife biologist from the DNR. She spoke about Black Bears in Michigan.

 In ELA we are participating in the Global Read Aloud- A Long Walk to Water. One of our characters carries water to her family up to 16 hours per day in Southern Sudan. As a prereading activity we carried a 5 gallon bucket 1/2 full of water back and forth across the mud pit for only about 5 minutes. Wow- what a work out!

 In Science we learned about Balance in the Ecosystem playing a game where only the strong survived. Did you?

 Today to finish our section on Symbiotic Relationships, we played a Mutualism, Commensalism and Parasitism Challenge. Here are winners from each class.

Community Involvement Guest Speaker

Thank you to Lt. Bankowski from the Bedford Fire Department for visiting our class and talking about her job.

Pi Day Celebration

Congratulations to our Pi Day winners! They got to squish a Pi(e) into Miss Roberts face.

Trace Fossils

Today we made trace fossils using shells and a special mixture that represented drying mud.

Here are some photos of our Trace Fossil Lab.

Magnetic Earth

We got to enjoy the warm February weather today with a lesson in Compasses and our Magnetic Earth. Our Science Classes oriented around the school yard. Here are some photos from the day. 

Exam Schedule

First Semester Exams will be on Thursday and Friday of this week. Make sure your child has a healthy breakfast and a good night's sleep. Both days are half days.
