Important Updates from Administration....
Good Morning,
We miss you and hope you enjoyed our opening video Monday. The administration in an effort to not overload all of you will send weekly updates to keep everyone informed with new information and resources. Please keep sending pictures of the students working. We love seeing the students' smiling faces and miss all of them tremendously. This is a great way to stay connected.
Thank you for your patience during this transition time. The overwhelming response from all of you has been outstanding.
Next week, all classes will move into Google Classroom. In an effort for this to be efficient and seamless, Monday will be a day for all of us to reset as our platform switches. Parents will be familiarizing themselves and teachers will be working on the new platform. NO WORK will be due or assessed on Monday. Please submit work for Tuesday and teachers will reply to any questions or review work on Tuesday. Spend Monday catching up on work, setting up and ensuring your Google Classroom works and students can engage with the many online resources such as MyOn.
Please see attachments of our students' smiling faces and a resource from our school counselor Ms. Sanchez.
Thank you for your cooperation. Have a wonderful weekend.
Ms. Scarlato and Ms. Gallo

Daily STEAM Challenge #4
** Reminder, these are all optional activities**
For today's challenge you will need a small object ( coin, toy figure, etc. ) water, and a freezer.
Put your object into water so it it covered, place your object into the freezer and let it freeze. This may take several hours. After it has frozen, remove it from the freezer and time how long it takes to melt. You can check on your object every hour to see if it has frozen. How long did it take for it to freeze?
You can make a time lapse video of this using a smart phone if available.
How long did it take to get your object out? Do you think it would take more or less time to get out a large object?
Have fun!
