Happy Earth Day! 🌳🌱🌎☀️ Today, we learned about how native plant species in NJ are endangered, and made seed spheres as one way to help enrich the soil and help more plants grow!

Getting our hands dirty for our March Wonder Wednesday! Our NJ regions activities were so much fun. In our station, we read about the Ridge & Valley region, then planned and produced an animal habitat for a native species of the region whose home has been damaged by humans 🐢🌱💧

For this month’s Wonder Wednesday, Woodbrook’s fourth graders collaborated in small groups and followed the engineering by design process to create a roller coaster that has enough kinetic energy to keep a marble rolling from start to finish! 🎢 #WeAreOneEdison

Just a glimpse at all the collaboration that happened in our classroom today! Starting with Ms. Toth’s creative and critical thinking lesson this morning, to our International Expo project and interviews with government officials using Magic School this afternoon 🧩🧠📝👩🏻‍💻

Happy holidays from us to you! We hope your winter break is filled with as much joy and laughter as our classroom ❤️

Our first Wonder Wednesday was a success! We collaborated with the Community Advocacy Club, parent volunteers, and other classes to investigate ways to reduce food waste. The applesauce we made was the result of leftover apples from school breakfast & lunch! 🍎😋
