Jones Elementary
The 3rd grade at Jones Elementary have been studying space this month. Last week they made a trek to the Merrillville Community Planetarium and now they have finished their study with their annual Third Grade Space Fair.
Each student was required to complete two projects at home. However, they were given time during the school day to research some of the following project choices; making a game, creating a test, building a solar system model, composing a song or rap, or by writing a science fiction story about a trip to outer space, just to name a few. All of the projects were out of this world!
Kyle Elementary
Some of Mrs. Banaski's 2nd gr. class achieved their AR goal for the 2nd Trimester.
Saylor Elementary
Saylor 2nd graders were visited by Lindsey Thomas from South Shore Arts on Monday. Students made self portraits of themselves inspired by the book "The Skin You Live In" by Michael Tyler. The portraits reinforced the story after reading the book in class. The project was a fun and creative way to celebrate how diverse our students are.
