We “toured” our monuments to celebrate African-American scientists, inventors and engineers. Students in grades 6-8 created some beautiful monuments! #science #STREAM

Middle school students at @CAWaterbury are researching scientist and engineers for Black History Month! They will create a one pager and monument for their projects. #science #STREAM

Teaching literature this year for grade 6 at @CAWaterbury, and these one-pagers came out great! Students showed theme, plot, setting, characters and conflict for the story “Greyling” by Jane Yolen. So much better than a quiz! #literature #standup4CAW

[Mrs Rabatin @mrs_rabatin]

So grateful to one of my @CAWaterbury 6th grade parents who donated these books to our classroom! These will come in handy when we need to research scientist and inventors! #scientists #inventors

[Mrs Rabatin @mrs_rabatin]

It was a lab day yesterday for grades 8 and 6 at @CAWaterbury! 6th grade studied how liquids move using heat (to model the earth’s interior) and 8th grade experimented with states of matter!

[Mrs Rabatin @mrs_rabatin]

Thank you to all the families who ordered books this month- I was able to get all of these free for our classroom! I can’t wait to get these into the hands of 6th and 7th graders at @CAWaterbury! #middleschool #literature

[Mrs Rabatin @mrs_rabatin]

6th graders at @CAWaterbury put their building skills to the test! After describing attributes of a scientist, they had to build an index card tower. Here is our winning group! #whatisascientist #standup4CAW

First week is (almost) complete. We had a great time in middle school settling back in and getting to know each other! #middleschool #standup4CAW
