4th Grs took part in an Erosion Awareness T-shirt Design Contest as a culminating project of their Erosion Unit.  The competition was top-notch this year and the judges had a difficult time picking their winners.  Congrats to all of the 4th graders on amazing designs!

4th graders learned about the impacts of erosion on Niagara Falls and how getting energy from the Falls has slowed erosion. They wrote letters to their future selves about the changes they'll see in 50 years to the Falls! Next up...Field Trip to Conesus Lake

It was great to explore Graphic Design careers during our 4th Grade Innovators event today. Students learned about local companies that do graphic design and even got to design their own 3D longhouse!

Exploring open and closed circuits is so much more fun with you use Makey Makey Inventor Kits. 4th graders used the kits to play the bongo drums and the piano.

John Kirkwood came over to JK to share his knowledge about careers in Health Sciences to our 4th Graders. He gave the students insight on how to get into these careers, as well as, what they can do right now to prepare. Students made edible DNA during the event.  @BataviaJK

Robotics skills were being used by some of our 4th Graders as we took part in STEAM Jam at Tech Wars today. Coding at its best to feed safari animals!

Paul Bunyan sent a letter to our 2nd graders asking for their help! Babe the Blue Ox got trapped in ice and needed our students' science skills to help break Babe free of the ice. Salt, sand, water, and friction all helped to save the day!

Our 5th Annual 3rd Grade Magnet Invention Convention was held today! Great collaboration with @JkLibrarian and our art and music department. Ss presented their inventions and advertisements, sang a magnet jingle, and shared their abstract artwork created with magnets.
