Student Achievement

Second Grade Students Learn about Rivers

Second Grade student Stelios Tiniakos shared pictures of an experiment that his class did virtually this week. Students in Ms. Zompa and Ms. Steffan's class have been talking about land forms and erosion in science. For one of the lessons, the students talked about how rivers start at high points and end in large bodies of water. The teachers recorded an experiment with paper, markers, and a squirt bottle with water in it. The experiment can be found on the Mystery Science website. In the experiment, you crumble up a piece of paper and then use markers to color the creases. Next, you squirt water onto the markers. Students discovered that the ink and water flows downward from the creases. This is similar to how rivers flows downward from mountains. Great job, Stelios!

Climate and Culture

Slaybaugh Welcomes Phase 1 Students!

This week, starting on Monday, September 14th, Slaybaugh was fortunate to welcome their first students back into the building. For Phase 1 of the "Road Back to School" plan, preschool students arrived for in-person learning. Utilizing PPE and following social distancing, the preschoolers had a great first week back at school with their teachers and classmates. It was so nice to be back together and we look forward to the next phases of the plan!
