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!

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.
Students in class 163 are learning about different holidays and traditions honored during the month of December. Last week was about Hanukkah. Students were asked to locate tools, materials, and ingredients from around the room, as they were listed on the recipe. They also helped grate potatoes, add ingredients to the batter, and taste the latkes. Students got to complete a recipe review afterwards showing which ingredients were used, if they liked it, if the recipe was easy to follow, and if they would like to make it again.
Excellent job by all!
Class W143 read a story about the first Thanksgiving Day Parade. Each student created their own balloon for the parade by requesting materials and then commenting on the activity! The class walked by the New York City streets to music and had so much fun! Excellent work to all!
From all of us here at Hawkswood School to you and yours - a Happy and Healthy holiday weekend! Enjoy.
Class 170 did an Arts Integration lesson with Miss Monique. They learned about the parts of a leaf and created two mosaics. The first lesson was a nature walk to collect the leaves and identify the real parts of a leaf. Next, the students learned about mosaics and each student made a mosaic with the leaves they collected. Lastly, each student made a mosaic out of colored paper and labeled the parts of a leaf. Beautiful work!
Please enjoy some photos from the Halloween Parade Day!
A wonderful in-person Halloween parade for the first time in a while! Stay tuned for student photos!! They are all rolling in 🎃
Enjoy and be safe!
