Clayville, Hope, and North Scituate Elementary schools all enjoyed their school holiday chorus concerts before the winter break! It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces!
Mrs. Battey's 8th graders participated in a lab that was an extension of an article they read on magnetic fields! Each class was amazed to learn that there was iron in birds. They were asked to brainstorm how to extract the iron from Total cereal. First, they used a hand lens to try to view the iron. Then, they thought if they crushed the cereal, the iron would be attracted to the magnet. Again, no success. Then they thought of adding water.. SUCCESS!
Yesterday 8th grade students had the chance to explore our high school's CTE academies! Students were able to rotate to different classrooms and learn about the experiences that they can be a part of when they enroll in Entrepreneurship, Biomedical Science, Engineering, or Computer Science at SHS!
Even with the power outages that took place before our winter break, art students were determined to finish their art projects. Students even used their phone flashlights so that they could keep painting!
Clayville's Mrs. Forgue, and her second graders, were incredibly busy before the break! Students practiced their red card words from Heggerty with snow writing! Red card words are not decodable, unlike most English words. Instead, they're words that students need to develop automatic sight word recognition for, which they do by looking at irregular spelling patterns and phoneme-graphing mapping each word. In Mrs. Forgue's class, the focus is on literacy, but students build knowledge quickly with sensory-based activities like shaving cream writing!
SHS Chorus visited North Scituate Elementary for High Five Friday before Winter Break. After high fives, the Chorus led students in grades 3-5 for a few Disney Sing-Alongs. Thank you for a fun-filled morning! Huge thank you to Sgt. Parenti, Ms. Norton, and First Student for making this possible.

Our middle schoolers donated 154 non-perishable food items to the local food pantry at Trinity Episcopal Church in North Scituate. Student Council plans to continue coordinating food drives at various times throughout the year!
Last week, 8th grade students in Mrs. Battey's Science class spent time investigating how magnets can cause objects to have kinetic energy!
Students in Computer Integrated Manufacturing have been cycling through stations to learn manufacturing techniques! For each station, students go through an academic phase where they watch a video demonstration and take a safety and technique quiz. Students then move on to the next station where they are given technical drawings for something made using the technique in question.
Students practiced doing electronics soldering by attaching components to a silicon board, then splicing two wires together and waterproofing them with shrink tubing. They also practiced plumbers' work by pipe soldering different types of copper connectors to make a 3D shape, and check if the shape holds water.
Our middle school students have completed their amazing pull-toy projects! We loved their creativity!
It's a wonderful time of year to commit acts of kindness and our Club Linus students are doing just that! They have been busy at work preparing blankets for hospitalized, children and other children in need.
Human Body System students enrolled in the Biomedical Pathway have begun investigating the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system and its control over the muscular system. Students also got creative and sketched the lobes of the brain and control centers on swim caps and wore them around school showcasing their work!
So proud of our middle school students for earning Spartan Shout-outs! Great job everyone!
Students in Ms. Fochler's Algebra III with Trig class enjoyed a fun math activity where they used M&Ms to investigate the relationship between degrees and radians for angles in the coordinate plane.
Thank you to everyone who volunteered for our middle school holiday Bingo. It was such a fun time!
Our Culinary Arts students worked in teams to design and assemble structures that they baked from scratch! Faculty will vote for the best design, construction, and landscape this week!
