Yesterday, Mrs. Cook's second grade class made a trip to the high school as part of a Science & Literacy place-based unit created by Mrs. Jeannie Lindsey, which is centered around the invasive green crab!
High school student Shannon M. & science teacher Ian Hudson presented facts about the invasive green crab issue. The students were able to get an up-close look at these “invaders” and were very engaged with the learning! 🦀

On Wednesday, the RJES Space Club met with Claire Mallon, an aerospace engineer who works on satellites! 🛰
After some uncertainty, we were able to establish the internet connection and make it happen, and we're so glad we did! Claire told the students all about how satellites are built and how many different people with many different jobs work together to build, launch, and monitor them.
The students were then able to ask Claire questions about both satellites and space. Thank you to Claire for taking the time to meet with our students- we can't wait to do this again!

Today, Mrs. Henry's 3rd Grade class met with School Counselor Mr. Joe to learn about what makes a good teammate! They practiced climbing an "ice wall" while connected to one another, while an ice monster moved around them. Students had to solve problems, communicate, and use teamwork skills to ascend the wall. If a peer "fell," they had to hold on tight and work together to bring them back up. Afterward, they talked about what their team did well and how they used their teamwork skills!
Thanks Mr. Joe for a fun class!
