Students from Brandt, Connors, and Wallace Elementary Schools are competing in NJIT’s Fifth Annual Elementary STEM Challenge, where 3rd to 5th-grade students use engineering and design principles to solve real-world problems.

This year’s challenge, “Community Problem-Solving,” tasked students with creating solutions using microcontroller technology. With guidance from teachers Ms. Samuel (Brandt), Ms. Barsukova (Connors), and Ms. Versacci (Wallace), teams developed innovative projects:

Brandt’s “Error 404” – A flood detection system to alert agencies about rising water levels.

Connors’ “Wild-bit” – A fire detection device for residential and wildland fires.

Wallace’s “Harbor Wave Watchers” – A tsunami detection system that provides warnings and safety guidance.

Since January, the teams have worked with mentors, testing and refining their designs. After finalizing their prototypes, they collaborated with Hoboken High School’s Innovation Lab to 3D print their models.

We applaud all teams for their creativity, dedication, and the positive impact of their STEM projects.

On Thursday, March 20th, a group of 5th graders participated in an exciting eSTEM Competition at the NJIT. It was a day filled with presentations, activities, assessments, exploration, and knowledge gathering. During the presentations, students had two presentations that the judges were scoring. During the first presentation, students explained a theme that they chose to work on. Their theme was about the preparedness for the wildfires. Using the slides and the Tri Fold, students showed their research and an idea.

During the second presentation, students explained how their device works in preparation for the wildfire. Their design included a Micro:bit, wires, breadboard, adapter, a code, and a 3D Printing piece. In addition, to students observed NJIT students' presentations, visited a cool Makerspace, took an assessment, and learned from the other teams.

Kudos to our Koalas for amazing presentations and professionalism during the competition!!!

The NCAA Division 1 men's basketball tournament, known as "March Madness," is a single-elimination tournament to determine the national champion.

Despite most states restricting online sports and casino betting to those 21 and older, loopholes exist, allowing many teens to bypass age restrictions. Since the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court ruling, over half of states have legalized online gambling. Teen gambling is rising as more teens gain access to betting through cell phones and computers.

Interestingly, only one in four parents have discussed online betting with their teens, and more than half are unaware of their state's legal gambling age.

The Hoboken High School Teen Action Task Force distributed pamphlets about the risks of gambling. Students learned that early gambling can impact mental health, with young adult gamblers who started in adolescence more likely to experience substance use problems.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from Room 107 at 770 Jackson! The students wore green and enjoyed festive activities, starting with a Mystery Letter to identify the sounds in "Shamrock."

They then conducted two science experiments: Crystal Shamrocks, where they soaked pipe cleaner shapes in a borax solution to observe crystallization, and Leprechaun Sand, using baking soda, vinegar, and watercolors to create a fun chemical reaction. The day ended with graphics practice, where students drew shamrock shapes.

Students in Miss Lanza's class read How To Catch A Leprechaun! and then searched the school for leprechaun clues like sparkles, green items, and rainbows. They used their findings to uncover a special surprise back in the classroom!

At the Calabro site, every class had fun for St. Patrick’s Day. On Monday when the children arrived at school, they found their classroom in a complete mess, all thanks to the mischievous leprechaun!

Spring is here, and Room 111 is ready for it! After reading It’s a Beautiful Day to Fly a Kite, students made their own kites and learned that windy days are best for flying. They’re on the lookout for the perfect day to test them out.

The class has also been focusing on weather, with a recent emphasis on the water cycle. They’ve learned about condensation, precipitation, and evaporation, and they’re enjoying a fun new song called “The Water Cycle” on YouTube to help reinforce the concepts!

During Science Week, Ms. Ana’s class went on an exciting journey into Space! The visit of the Mobile Planetarium allowed the students to have an immersive experience of what Outer Space looks like and what can be found there.

Later, the students engaged in conversations about what they learned and documented their answers using drawings and writing.

Room 6 had a delicious trip to Pizza Republic, where students learned the art of pizza-making, from tossing dough to choosing toppings.

After their hard work, they enjoyed eating their tasty creations—what a fun and tasty way to explore the Restaurant Theme!
