Fourth graders in Ms. Ross and Ms. Smolin’s classes at South Bay Elementary School have been studying the American Revolution during their social studies lessons. The fourth graders each choose an important figure during that time period to research. The students used their computers and library books to conduct their research and compile their informational books, which they shared with classmates upon completion.

In recognition of Global Day of Play, South Bay Elementary School created a cardboard arcade on Feb. 7. Inspired by the true story of Caine’s Arcade, enrichment students in grades three, four and five created their own arcade games made of upcycled materials. The cardboard arcade was set up in the school’s cafeteria. Classes came down to visit and each student received a fun pass to play each game one time. The arcade was filled with everything one would expect including skeeball, basketball free throws, a crane machine, air hockey and a ring toss.

South Bay Students Put Simple Machines to the Test

Third graders at South Bay Elementary School are studying simple machines as part of their science curriculum. The classes recently engaged in a hands-on STEM lesson to test their knowledge of the machines. In Ms. DeLapi’s class, the third graders learned about force and motion and created their own levers using a ruler. The students stacked objects on different side to see how much force it would take for the lever to move up or down. In Ms. Roselli’s class, the students created ramps and tested how friction would affect the distance their toy cars traveled. They first measured the car’s distance on the plain ramp, then retested it using sandpaper and a cotton towel.
