JW Brown Laboratory School

We've had a busy 2 weeks with the students studying Atoms, Molecules, & Compounds.

They worked hard testing different formulas & ingredients to make the compound: Toothpaste.

As good scientist always do: they tested & retested, collaborated, researched, documented data that worked & didn't work until they found the right formula that was ready. Then they flavored it.

Mint, Strawberry, Cinnamon, and Lemon were their top flavors.

Great Job, Students, on making your own Toothpaste!

If a store doesn't have it, JW Brown Students can make it!!

Not only are the students learning to research, but they're also working on citing their sources.

Also, find the article that one student brought in. It's a very good read.

Whether on the playground, in the cafeteria or classroom, School Bonds are Important!

Some of the most lasting friendships develop at school. We don't want the transition from one school to another to break those bonds.

JOIN Us For FRIENDSHIP DAY!!

It's going to be a Great Day!!

As we work to strengthen students' ability to read, we recognize that comprehension skills are evenly as important.

After reading their story this week, I put a little spin to their test-which is used to check for
comprehension.

Rather than giving them questions that were prepared by the book's author, I had each student formulate 10 questions that they found answered in the story. I then used their questions to form their test.

Some of the questions were: What was the Tone & Mood of the Story?; Identify and Describe in detail the Protagonist & Antagonist.; When the businessman arrived on time, as predicted, explain the behaviors of the men who accompanied him.

I found that this approach allowed the students to truly think about what the author had presented & not just retell a story they had read. Their questions showed how each of them engaged with the story & its message.

Great questions, Students! Now lets put these answers on paper in your own words!

Today, we went on our 1st Field Trip in 3 years! The students had a wonderful time & they were SO WELL BEHAVED!!!

We enjoyed the Great Performers of Junie B. Jones, The Musical. Afterwards, we had a picnic & went to Books-a-Million!
