Our Elementary STEM students took on the role of aerospace engineers this week! After learning about the Mars rover, our 3rd–5th graders designed and built re-entry capsules to safely bring their marshmallow astronauts back to Earth putting their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test.

Meanwhile, our K–2 students explored gravity with a fun experiment and then engineered parachutes to help their “alien” land safely. To top it off, they even designed a home on the back for their new space traveler!

Mrs.Hammond’s third grade math students have been busy growing both plants and their math skills this month! Students planted and cared for their own little “yards,” taking responsibility for watering and nurturing them every day. Each week, they measured their progress and tracked their results using line plots and bar graphs, turning their hard work into real-life math data.

Toronto Junior Senior High School students and faculty are celebrating SPIRIT WEEK for prom on Friday, April 24th. Today the theme is "RHYME WITHOUT REASON". All of the first floor instructional hall faculty participated and is displaying labels with long "E" rhyme. As pictured, we are KNEE, KEY, ME, SEA, BEE, SEE, "T", SHE, TEA, THREE, MOMMY, TREE, WE!

Our third graders have been working so hard preparing for the state test, so they took a little break to celebrate Earth Day with a nature walk 🌎💚

The fresh air was just the reset they needed before finishing strong!

The first grade students in Mrs. Rosa's class learned about the water cycle. They enjoyed making a craft to end the lesson.

Mrs. Mitchell's Kindergartners have been busy shining! 🌟 Students celebrated 100 iReady lessons with a fun Toy Day, showed great lunch behavior to earn an outside picnic lunch, and wrapped it all up with a special Fun Friday parent celebration with popsicles. So proud of all their hard work and great choices!

Engineering in Action in elementary STEM class!

Our students have been busy thinking like engineers this week! Engineers solve problems, design solutions, and build things that make our world work.

Students in 3rd–5th grade put their engineering skills to the test by designing and building working marble runs using paper towel rolls, tape, and construction paper. They had to plan, test, and improve their designs to make sure their marble could travel all the way through their run!

Our K–2 students explored what makes bridges strong. They watched two exciting bridge experiments, observed what happened, and discussed why some bridges are stronger than others. Then they designed their own bridges that could hold a very heavy train!

It was a great week of designing, experimenting, and thinking like real engineers!

The road to Walton Acres is now open. Bus 7 will make its regularly scheduled stops beginning with today's afternoon run. Thank you for your understanding.

The road is blocked going into Walton Acres this morning. As a result, Bus 7 is unable to enter the subdivision. Bus pick up will be at the entrance to Fernwood Dr. Sorry for the inconvenience.

First grade students in Miss Wagstaff's class enjoyed the sunshine today. They went outside to the courtyard to read books.

Our elementary students became medical pioneers this week during STEM class!

Grades 3-5 tackled the "Broken Bone Challenge," engineering custom splints to repair and strengthen "fractured" craft sticks. Some students took it a step further and made a working "knee".

Grades K-2 became Germ Detectives, using glitter to track how easily "germs" spread and why hand-washing is so important! Students also drew a picture of themselves as doctors.

All Grades got to see a working lung model in action! Using a plastic cup and balloon demo, students observed exactly how our lungs inflate and deflate to help us breathe.

So proud of our curious thinkers and future doctors!

Our Easter Bunny Helpers are out setting up the field! See you at the school at 11am!

Students in Miss Stead's 4th grade math classes hunted for eggs containing math review questions! Everyone did a great job and had fun working together!

First grade students used their detective skills today. Each student hid an object in an egg and wrote clues for their classmates to identify the object. It was a fun way to use our imagination.

Great job Amelia and Jaxon! These two first graders have passed over 200 lessons on IReady! TES is proud of you!

Reading Gifted students in the 2nd grade completed a book study over 6 weeks. Followed by completing a choice board at home. These two students chose to do a new book cover and draw their favorite part of the book onto a shirt. They gave a presentation to the class to try and get them to want to read the book! Way to go students!

Third graders who completed the State Test Prep Challenge earned a chance to pie their teacher! 🥧
Thank you to the families for your support—we know their hard work will show!
