đđ¨ Science in Motion! đ¨đ
Mrs. Budreauâs fourth-grade Dolphins put science into action as they explored the connection between energy and speed using balloons! đŹđŹ
Through this hands-on investigation, students observed how changing the amount of energy affected the motion and speed of their balloons. They made predictions, tested their ideas, compared results, and used their observations to better understand how energy can cause objects to move.
Thereâs nothing better than seeing curiosity, collaboration, and a little balloon-powered fun come together for meaningful learning! đâĄđ§
Way to investigate, fourth grade! đđ

đđ˘ A HUMAN NUMBER LINE! đ˘đ Mrs. Budreauâs fourth-grade Dolphins brought math to life by becoming part of a human number line! đŹđđ Students worked together to compare and order numbers up to six digits, using their understanding of place value to determine exactly where each number belonged. Instead of simply solving problems on paper, students became the numbersâmoving, discussing, comparing, and arranging themselves from least to greatest! Hands-on activities like this make learning meaningful while building number sense, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. đ§ ⨠Way to go, fourth grade! We love seeing our Dolphins learning, thinking, and working together! đŹđ #NAUEDolphins #FourthGrade #MathInAction #HumanNumberLine #PlaceValue #HandsOnLearning #LearningTogether

đ§ŞđŹ Fifth Grade Scientists at Work! đŹđ§Ş
Our Fifth Grade Dolphins have been putting science into action! đŹđ As students learn about mixtures and solutions and physical and chemical changes, our Fifth Grade Science teachers took learning beyond the textbook with hands-on experiments!
Students had the opportunity to mix, observe, investigate, and analyze different substances while determining what happens when materials are combined. They explored how mixtures and solutions are formed and looked for evidence to determine whether changes were physical or chemical. đĽźđ§Ťâ¨
Hands-on investigations like these encourage students to ask questions, make observations, discuss their thinking, and connect classroom concepts to the world around them.
Way to go, Fifth Grade scientistsâlearning science by DOING science! đŹđ§Şđđ

Learning is right up our alley in Mrs. Avila's second grade class! Our mathematicians had a blast with Bowling Subtraction! Students started with 10 bowling pins, rolled the ball to knock some down, then used the remaining pins to write their own subtraction sentence. Hands-on learning like this makes math fun, engaging, and memorable!
