Featured Friday!

☁️ **Creating Clouds in Science Class!** 🧪

Our students brought science to life with a simple but fascinating experiment — **creating a cloud inside a water bottle!**

Using an empty water bottle, students twisted the bottle to compress the air inside, pushing the air molecules closer together and increasing the pressure. When the bottle was opened and the pressure was suddenly released, the air rapidly expanded and cooled, allowing water v***r in the air to condense into tiny droplets — creating a visible **cloud right before their eyes!** ☁️

This hands-on experiment gave students an exciting way to explore concepts like **air pressure, temperature, expansion, and condensation** while connecting them to the same processes that help form clouds in our atmosphere.

Sometimes the best way to understand science is to see it happen! 🔬✨

🐻🍂 Fat Bear Week Meets Social Studies! 🌎🌲
Our students put a fun twist on learning with Fat Bear Week! 🐻 While learning about some of the world’s largest and most famous bears, students are also exploring how natural resources, landscapes, and ecosystems are connected. 🌎🌿

Students are discovering how bears depend on their environment for food, water, and shelter—and how the landscape around them helps support an entire ecosystem. 🐟🌲🏔️

Through hands-on learning and engaging activities, students are exploring:
🗺️ Landscapes – mountains, rivers, forests, and coastal regions
🌱 Natural Resources – water, plants, fish, and other resources found in an environment
🐻 Ecosystems – how plants, animals, and their surroundings work together
♻️ Environmental Connections – why protecting natural habitats and resources matters

Fat Bear Week is giving our students a unique opportunity to see that social studies isn't just about people and places—it’s also about understanding the world we live in and our connection to it! 🌎💚

🐻📚 Learning is always more engaging when we can connect it to the world around us!

🎶 WELCOME BACH! 🎶
As we welcomed our students back to Music this year, they were greeted with a special message on the whiteboard:
“WELCOME BACH!” 🎵

And no… I did NOT spell “back” wrong! 😉 Some students thought I had made a mistake, but there was definitely a method to my musical madness!
This year, I’m excited to introduce a Composer/Musician of the Month! 🎼
During the first week of each month, we’ll take some time to get to know our featured composer or musician—learning about their life, their music, and what made them unique.

For the rest of the month, students will:
🎧 Listen to a piece written or performed by our featured musician
📚 Learn a fact or two about their life and music
🎶 Explore different styles, sounds, and musical ideas

Throughout the school year, students will also be exposed to many different instruments, musical styles, and sounds, giving them opportunities to discover just how wonderfully diverse the world of music can be! 🎺🎻🥁🎹🎸

My hope is that by the end of the year, our students will have discovered a whole new collection of composers and musicians, expanded their musical knowledge, and maybe even found a few new favorites along the way!

And what better way to start than with Johann Sebastian Bach? 🎹
Welcome Bach, everyone! Let the music begin! 🎶❤️

Kicking off the school year with both science and fun! 🧪

Our middle school science students put the scientific method into action using an activity they already love: bottle flipping!

Students began by asking the question: Which water level is the most successful for landing a bottle flip? Each student made a hypothesis about which water level they thought would work best. Then, they put their hypotheses to the test by completing four different trials and recording their results.

After testing was complete, the class came together to discuss their findings, compare results, and determine whether their original hypotheses were supported.
Students had a great time learning through hands-on experimentation, and our results showed that a bottle filled about 1/4 of the way was the most successful at landing!

A fun way to start the year while showing students that science can be found in the activities they enjoy every day!

Today, we Remember September 11, 2001

Today, we pause to remember and honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families, friends, and communities forever changed by that day.

We honor the courage and sacrifice of the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, first responders, service members, and everyday citizens who stepped forward to help others in a time of unimaginable tragedy. We also recognize the survivors and all those who worked tirelessly in the days, months, and years that followed.

May we continue to carry forward the spirit of unity, compassion, courage, and service that brought people together in the aftermath of September 11.

We remember those we lost. We honor those who served. We will never forget.

🎉☀️ ️ What a radical ESY! ☀️🎉

Ms. DeCaprio’s class had so much room for activities this summer! Students celebrated a spooky-fun Summerween Theme Day, Winter in July activities, cooled off during Water Day, cooked up some delicious treats, and used their imaginations as mad scientists creating colorful potions! 🧪🌈

The fun didn’t stop there! Students enjoyed Carnival Day, rocked out with DDR, challenged themselves on the rock wall, and found their rhythm during an awesome Drum Circle! 🥁🎶

It was a summer filled with learning, laughter, creativity, and plenty of unforgettable memories! 💙☀️ We’re sad to see ESY come to an end, but what a RAD summer it was! 😎✌️
