Classroom Highlights
-
What’s Cooking In The
Middle School?
Middle school
students participated in a cooking activity that
connected with their summer reading books. The
wonderful aroma of individual pizzas filled the halls of
SHPS. Social skills were observed as students worked
together in small groups, took turns and cooked their
special recipes. The best part though was eating the
finished products!! Special thank you to Mrs. Rosa Carra
and Mrs. Rosalie Fierro for bringing the
Cooking
With Class
adventure to our classrooms.
-
Our
4th Grade
Students
are taking advantage of our new science textbooks and
the virtual online lab to explore Matter and Energy.
-
This week in
Language Arts, the 5th
grade
will discuss the summer reading. We will pay particular
attention to "Frindle," and the main character, Nick's,
classroom antics before he entered the 5th grade. We
will talk about his attempt to transform his 3rd grade
classroom into a tropical island, and use that as a tie
in to the personal narratives. We will end these
discussions with a cooking class! Recommended by the
Middle School, "Cooking with Class," under the direction
of Mrs. Rosa Carra will help our 5th graders to cook up
a tropical dish.
