In science, third grade has been learning about matter and mass. They learned that air has weight, made predictions about the weight of objects and then used a balance scale to determine the actual weight. They also learned about items that sink and float. To wrap up the sink & float study, students made vegetable soup. Each student brought in one cup of chopped vegetables for the soup. They made predictions about whether their vegetable would sink or float in the beginning and after cooking all day. The class ate our soup and checked to see if their predictions for "after cooking" were correct.

Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in. - Sally Ride

The 7th and 8th graders recently made hobbit houses out of felt and roving wool. Before creating their felt and wool creations, they learned about hobbit houses and took a virtual tour of Hobbiton which is the village that was created for the Lord of the Rings movies. The people in the town loved the village and took it over once filming wrapped up. Students created a hobbit house in their sketchbook using elements from the house they saw on the virtual tour. Once it was complete they created that house on a piece of felt. They used a technique called Needle Felting. The felting needle has barbs in it that push the wool into the felt. The more times you poke the needle into the felt the more form you create. They used wool to add details on the houses.

TWMS art program is exceptional. Students of all ages are exposed to a broad range of materials, techniques and independence in their creations. Learn more about TWMS at www.twmschool.org.

Congratulations!

They rose to this engineering and design challenge by building, testing, and revising their roller coasters while simultaneously demonstrating physics concepts by determining speed, force, acceleration, and energy at various points along the ride. Upon completion of the project, they had to pitch their roller coaster design to a board of directors in the classroom.

The girls fought right until the last buzzer and then the crowd and the girls erupted in cheers and tears. We are so proud of them and their coaches!

Our PreK students are learning all about hibernation and migration. TWMS does not shy away from using the big words. A child between the ages of 2 and 6 has the ability to learn between 6 and 10 words per day (Conversations in Childcare - California Childcare Health Program). That’s up to 70 words a week! But there’s no way a child can reach those kinds of numbers if they are not exposed to language in meaningful, interactive ways. Students created dens for the bears to hibernate.

Did you know that all students at TMWS either have PE or athletics (5th-8th) every day? Movement is essential for learning, and it's fun! Classes recently enjoyed a fun game of Speed Whiffle Ball!

Recently our 2nd graders read and discussed the book ¨Stone Soup¨. Students then used the same ingredients from the book to make their own stone soup in class as a whole group activity. They also created a how-to activity to go along with it. Hands on learning is the best way to learn!
