Our students have been hard at work with their Science Lessons. This class learned about rain, fog, and snow, as weather conditions. After answering comprehension questions, the students participated in a hands-on experiment where they made a "Snowstorm in a Jar," using oil, water, paint, food coloring, and alka seltzer tablets. Students worked on following directions to mix, pour, and measure items to complete this experiment. Well done, all!

Class 127 learned about how pollution, specifically plastic bags, impacts the ocean and its inhabitants. The class spoke about how each person can help reduce pollution and improve aquatic life and how important that is for the planet. Class 127 then made 'Ocean Cups" with blue jell-o and Swedish fish as an extension activity! Great job!
Hawkswood teachers completed a training yesterday; they were asked "What drives you?" Within seconds, various responses popped up on the survey!
Here is a look at the wonderful things that drive our staff each day - students, collaboration, growth, and success to name just a few!
Welcome Back, Everyone!
Looking forward to a wonderful 2023-2024 school year!

Class W135 continued their science unit on magnets by doing an experiment. Each student created their own sensory bottle, adding magnetic items, oil, and water. They then took magnets to move the items through the liquid. Everyone enjoyed the experiment, and decided to keep it! Great work!

Class 127 has been learning about the Arctic Habitat and its wildlife this month. They learned about Narwhals, Beluga Whales, and Arctic Foxes. Specifically, the three animals are all mammals despite not all living on land or water. The students learned about the animals' life spans and diets as well. After that, Class 127 made a "Blizzard in a Jar" where they measured water, baby oil, added drops of food coloring, and broke Alka Seltzer tablets into the mixture to observe a chemical reaction. Good Work.
