On Friday, April 4th, Bryant College athletes joined students for recess to play games and talk about teamwork and being a good sport! They helped make recess EXTRA fun! Huge thank you to Karin Wetherill (RI Healthy Schools Coalition), Jessi & Margaux (Playworks coaches), and the Bryant Athletes for making this possible!

Physical Science students at SHS were engaged in learning about light and optics during a lesson taught by Mr. Guertin from Rhode Island College (RIC) during his final week of student teaching.
A few of the stations included: light dispersion, refraction & color mixing and the science of shadows. Although many of the students have observed or experienced these phenomena on their own, Mr. Guertin's lesson explained the mechanism behind each of them with this kinesthetic lab.
Congratulations to our middle school students who earned Spartan Shout-outs this past week!

Mr. Lee from the Scituate Watershed Education program visited Hope students to educate 3rd graders on keeping the Scituate Reservoir and the surrounding watershed clean. Students had the opportunity to manipulate a model to learn about how pollutants affect the environment and reservoir!
Students at North Scituate debated on the topic of "Should children be paid for chores, yes or no?" Students picked a side, then researched and argued it. Prior to the debate, students brainstormed sentence starters with their teacher. There were three jobs for each team, and students discussed who would take on each job. Principal Soccio was impressed to see the level of respect for each other's opinions while arguing their own points. Students worked well together to ensure everyone's voice was heard.
Under the guidance of Hope Art Teacher, Mrs. McCann, students in grades K-5 have been creating a beautiful mural on the wall in the K-2 hallway! Each student designed their own flower representing something about them, used transfer paper to copy their design onto the wall, and then added color and detail to their design on the wall!
The author Jen Calonita, a Scholastic and Disney author, did a virtual visit with Ms. Cuttle's 4th grade class at North Scituate Elementary!

They really enjoyed the time with her and are looking forward to her newest book, Island of Ever, coming out this month. As well as her next The Taylors book that will be at the book fair in the fall!
Another successful High-Five Friday at North Scituate Elementary School! Thank you to our HOSA Club and Biomedical students for spreading some smiles and high-fives to our elementary students.
