The students in 2nd grade are enjoying using Unifix Cubes to show what they know about place value. They created numbers and bundled tens to make hundreds. They also bundled ones to make tens! The students agreed that math is fun when using manipulatives.
Kindergarteners have been working on developing their social emotional skills. We have been reading books about kindness and discussing good choices versus bad choices. Each time the class or an individual student is caught making good choices (whole body listening, helping a friend, walking quietly in the hallway, etc) the class earns a Warm Fuzzy (pom pom) to add to our class jar. Once the jar is full, we will earn a class reward! A small act of kindness can go a long way!
Our Highlands 7th and 8th grade band students had a great night at LT on Friday 9/17 despite the football game being cancelled. Students gathered with the LT marching band and other middle schoolers from the township to practice with the marching band. They got to experience what it was like to play with great musicians on the marching band field and in the stands. Unfortunately the game was cancelled due to lightning before we could perform the half time show, but the experience was great nonetheless! Looking forward to another opportunity to get together with the LT marching band again soon!

The 7th grade Spanish students wrote a great story in Spanish collaboratively as a class. After writing the story together, they each created a small book with their own illustrations! Awesome job 7th grade!
This 4th grader used science, technology, engineering, arts and math to create a homemade switch to activate a fire alarm. He explained how a circuit works and the difference between AC and DC current. He also explained the reason why you need 3 batteries to make it work using multiplication. Lastly, he used his art and engineering skills to design the switch.
In 4th Grade, our learners completed tableaus to act out different events in the book "Thank You, Mr. Falker." They showed how Trisha's feelings changed throughout the book. The students did a great job sharing when and why the character's feelings changed in the story. Way to go, 4th Grade!
Fifth graders have been discussing theme and character development while reading the novel, Out of My Mind. We have been enjoying the nice days when we are able read outside!
