Check out what fun activities we are doing in class!

Students in my math class constructed their Volumevilles! Students are tasked with making nets into prisms & finding the volume of each prism in order to build a city! 

We learned about stars and space in science! Students  researched, wrote, and built constellations!  

We used pH strips to test a variety of water samples. We were able to identify which samples were safe to drink.

Learning about the water cycle through a fun water cycle in a bowl activity! Students used clear bowls, hot water, clay, plastic wrap, and ice cubes to model the stages of the water cycle!

We learned that elves drink mixtures of corn syrup and water, and we participated in a fun STEM challenge!

What a fun day in math! We designed and built “gingerbread houses!” Then, we found the volume of our houses! 

Is mass conserved when matter combines with other matter? We investigated the Law of Conservation of Mass!

We researched food trucks, created logos and slogans, found the volume/surface area of their truck, and built our own! 

Look at some of our finished math cartoons! Students had to choose a topic that we learned about this year and draw a cartoon to explain it. We are having a blast!

We finished our amusement park/zoo coordinate grid project today! Students had to plot coordinate pairs and design an amusement park/zoo! They did a fantastic job working in small groups! 

In math class, we are working on a clock project! Students have to create their own equations and inequalities so that x equals the time on the clock! We are having a blast! 

To celebrate the end of MCAS for our sixth graders, we learned about the history of American Sign Language and how to sign the letters of the alphabet! We also learned how to sign our names! So fun!

Today we learned about absolute value! To demonstrate our understanding, our students had to choose their favorite number and define and identify the absolute value of their number! We absolutely had a blast!

We used my favorite manipulatives today: Digi Blocks! We are starting our unit on decimal operations tomorrow and we wanted to make sure we had a good grasp on decimal place value! 

Our students were teachers today! They read and graded other students’ MCAS open response answers using a rubric! Our students rocked it and had a blast!

Can you build the same tower as Mrs. Cavallaro? Students completed a team building activity where each student in their team was assigned a job (looker, speaker, builder, teacher speaker) & had to work together to build a tower!
