6th grade students are busy with their community impact project as part of their I&S class. Some of the 6th graders are visiting classrooms in the mornings to talk about our project to the other students. Others are collecting, sorting and packing the donations brought in by students and families at the elementary campus. Our “Hype Crew” made this video to promote their efforts towards getting school wide support through donations for Fostering Hope Lower Bucks. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/ygoTh2qM6-8. We are collecting donations through May 20!
SLCS sixth graders recently participated in several rounds of the Sixth Grade Spelling Bee in culmination of their studies in spelling and foundational English skills. Yesterday afternoon the finalists from each homeroom were supported by their classmates as they were challenged with Scripps National Spelling Bee’s “Words of the Champions” in the final round of the Spelling Bee. It is always an exciting event! Congratulations to all of our participants who showed off their spelling prowess!
We are proud to share that one of our 6th grade students was honored at this year’s Young Writer’s Award ceremony hosted by the international organization of women educators, Alpha Delta Kappa.

Bach at the ceremony. Congratulations!
The 4th grade students did a fantastic job hosting their "Colonial Job Fair" where they tried to persuade the audience to join their trade! They shared interesting facts and details about what they did during Colonial Times to make a living. Students presenting their research and many even dressed the part! The audience was able to fill out a job application form after learning about all their options. It was an awesome event. You can see more photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3jVSyXBKUQi8WEdf8
During yesterday's 8th grade field trip, students used microscopes to identify living things in Silver Lake. They learned more about carbon emissions and human impact on the environment.
In the "Leader in Me" framework, "synergize" means to combine efforts and ideas to achieve a result that's greater than what could be achieved individually. The 6th grade students have been learning all about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens and were able to share what it means to synergize with Ms. Quinn's class when they worked together on an activity to plan a party. The students had to use their math skills to budget and work together to decide who they wanted to invite and what activities, food, and drinks they wanted to have available. They did a great job working collaboratively, showing that when you synergize and work together effectively, you are able to produce better outcomes than what would be possible alone.
4th graders had a fun field trip to Washington's Crossing where they got to see real life reenactments and experience what life was like during Colonial Times. They are learning all about different Colonial jobs now. You can see more photos from the field trip here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/23VnJMXmgfhGN7jg6
The 6th grade hosted a Greek Mythology Wax Museum exhibition that was a great success! The students researched and created visuals that displayed the name of their mythological figure, a Bio Poem, pictures and descriptions of any symbols or animals associated with their figure, their domain(s), and any special powers or other facts and details that demonstrate why they are unique. The students could dress and act the part in their presentations, and they went all out! The museum visitors had a scavenger hunt to complete by filling out information they learned as they visited the various exhibits and listened to the presentations. Fantastic job everyone!

Students in 5th grade Science worked in groups to plan, design, and construct a tool they thought would help clean up an “oil spill”. Students were provided with a few materials and they had to create something they thought would help clean up the oil that had “spilled” into the ocean. In this unit they have been learning about environmental issues such as pollution and deforestation, and the importance of our protecting our renewable and nonrenewable resources.
The National Theatre for Children performed Project Energy to teach 2nd and 4th grade students all about energy! Through their interactive and engaging presentation they explained the difference between nonrenewable and renewable energy resources like wind, hydro, and solar power. They also addressed the importance of energy conservation. It was both entertaining and educational!
