Ms. Reyer's 4th graders prepared for parent-teacher conferences by creating their own PowerPoint presentations to share with their parents when they come in tonight or tomorrow. We hope to see you there so they can show off their work! #celebrate379
Earth and space students don't trust atoms in thermodynamics because they make up everything and are always in motion! They learned about them in the energy transfer lab that they did last week. It was also a tasty lab since they used chocolate chips on foil over a tea light to watch how the thermal energy spreads. Using colored water, they learned how warm water and cooler water react in room temperature water. This class always makes the day fun! #celebrate379

Mrs. Trembath's chemistry students conducted an experiment last week to test thermal energy transfer. This class follows the law of thermodynamics: No energy is wasted here! Their finding was that the amount of heat transferred depends on the object's mass and composition. #celebrate379





Mrs. Bybee is starting a unique experiment with her freshman advisory group called "The Milkweed in the Classroom Project".
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s Milkweed in the Classroom Program is a free, turn-key habitat education program for the classroom. Program support includes all the materials to grow native plants in the classroom, online training on growing native plants in the classroom, and a curriculum that meets all national science standards. The results of this program not only benefit pollinators by providing quality foraging and nesting habitat, but also provide opportunities for youth to get outside and gain an appreciation for wildlife and conservation.
This week, they started cold stratification of their seeds. The goal is to plant them outside in May. Stay tuned for updates! #celebrate379

This leads up to a max-out session about every quarter. Some of these students also choose to participate in powerlifting, an out-of-school activity in which lifters compete against other schools across the state. #celebrate379
6th graders have been learning about weather and climate in science. This week, they got to make their own wind vane or anemometer. They are very creative and worked hard to ensure all the criteria were met for their designs! #celebrate379

4th graders across the district came together to celebrate Kansas during the annual Kansas Heritage Day. Students participated in a wide range of activities relating to pioneer life and Kansas history, including making butter and apple cider, participating in a one-room school lesson, and learning about President Eisenhower’s campaign. Garfield and Wakefield students shared lunches around the “campfire” and had a memorable day celebrating our state! #celebrate379
