To celebrate filling the marble jar, students decided to have a stuffed animal celebration. Each student -and Mr. Geyer, too – brought a favorite stuffed friend from home. Usually toys are not allowed at school, but for one special day of celebration, we made an adjustment to the rules.

We played together.

The stuffed animals helped us with our school work.

We introduced our stuffed friends to the class.

We had a crazy dance party.

We finished the day quietly by watching some Toy Story shorts with our toys.

What a fun day!!

Science is an important subject in elementary school. 3G took their first steps towards scientific experimentation with an exploration of milk using some simple investigative tools. It is truly amazing how much milk can be altered and how we can describe these changes through observation.

After many weeks of hard work, 3G presented their assembly to the entire elementary school. The assembly showcased their studies about the brain and how humans learn.

One of best parts of the assembly was 3G’s original song lyrics for “Protect Your Brain,” an earworm to teach others how to take care of this vital organ and understand how we learn.

Look who filled the marble jar today!! 3G earns marbles for making strong choices and for going above and beyond. Today, they filled the whole jar earning a celebration of their choice… a stuffed animal party at school!

Congratulations, 3G!

Fun Day is always an experience to look forward to and remember fondly. This past Fun Day was no exception. Students across the school broke up into their color houses – red, yellow, blue, and green – for the first time this year.

I was on the Blue Team!

The games in the gym were a highlight of the day!

With Miss de-Bourne’s help, all the students worked together on a collaborative art project that will go on display at school. This was messy and fun!

3G is an artistic bunch! We continued our watercolor unit by studying some art history. Students attempted to paint in the style of Ancient Egyptians, Ancient Chinese, 1700’s Europeans, or modern Caribbean artists.

Learning to round to the nearest tens and hundreds is a little bit tricky and little bit dry. Adding a dice game certainly improves enthusiasm!

IPC Brain Research

Students were highly focused when researching how to keep brains healthy. It can be a lot of fun to dive into expository books and articles. The brain is pretty cool! 🧠

3G reflected on the importance of elders in their lives with Mrs. Fishburn during Religious Studies. Students were in touch with their crafty side while making these flowers.

3G loves Music Class with Ms. Kumagai. Recently, they played some games together at the end of a long day.

In our IPC Brainwave unit, students are learning about the mysteries of the brain. We practiced making connections in our thinking with a hands-on activity connecting each other with string, forming a network of “neurons” becoming stronger and stronger.
