🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 In Mrs. Vallejo's Reading class, students learned that children from serf families in the Middle Ages ate rye bread with water for breakfast and lunch. On Tuesday, the class experienced what that meal was like. Did the students enjoy the taste? Results were mixed. #TheSAGSway

🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 ⏱️ STEM: Testing Our Reaction Time! In Ms. Goodrich's STEM lesson, students became scientists and mathematicians as they measured their own reaction times using just a yardstick and quick reflexes! One student stood on a chair and held a yardstick vertically, while a partner waited below with their hand open and ready. Without warning, the first student dropped the yardstick, and the second student had to catch it as quickly as possible. The point where they caught it (measured in inches) showed how far the yardstick fell before they reacted. Each student completed several trials, recorded their measurements, and then calculated the mean (average) reaction distance to get accurate data. To take it a step further, students used the formula: 👉 t = √(d / 193) In this formula: t = reaction time (in seconds) d = distance the yardstick fell (in inches) 193 is a constant that relates distance and time based on gravity This hands-on experiment helped students connect math and science by using real-world data, applying formulas, and seeing how our brains and reflexes respond in action! ⚡ #TheSAGSway

🟢GIANTS IN THE CLASSROOM🟢 The 3rd grade students in Mrs. Kirkland's Science classes have been learning all about ecosystems during 1st quarter. Each student was assigned an ecosystem to present to their classmates. The students had to create an ecosystem shoebox and write a report to read as part of their presentation. #TheSAGSway

D.E.A.R. Families,

Our next D.E.A.R. Event will take place on Wednesday, October 1st. This event will be called “Spooky Flashlight Fun.” This reminds us to read in fun places, even in the dark with a flashlight. Students and staff are encouraged to bring in a flashlight and their favorite spooky book to help us celebrate reading.

Thanks so much for helping us share our excitement towards reading!
