Our study of multiplication has begun! This week the students learned that multiplication is really just repeated addition and it can be shown in a variety of ways. Here the students are lined up in an array to show equal groups.





Students then made arrays to show a multiplication fact and their classmates named the fact for each array.






Below: Students are adding windows to a city skyscraper as part of our Array City. Keep posted for a photo of our final product.
Culture Boxes: The Third Graders presented their Culture Boxes to all of the Lower School students. Each small group of students rotated to different stations where a Third Grader shared information about his/her box. Thank you, Third Graders. We learned lots!









Science with Mr. Zwilling
The students were very attentive as Mr. Zwilling did a variety of experiments to teach us the properties of liquid nitrogen.

Science: Simple Machines In science class the students have been learning about the six types of simple machines: screw, lever, inclined plane, wedge, wheel and axle, and pulley. After learning about inclined planes, the students were given the challenge to create an inclined plane so that a car at the top of a box could travel down the ramp and continue rolling.                               First the students discussed what classroom materials to use to create the inclined plane. Next, they got to work making their ramps and made sure that the car successfully traveled down the ramp.
