   MPACT at Enota M.I. Academy

Gainesville City Schools strives to meet the needs of all our students. One way Enota caters to the unique skills and interests of our community is through MPACT. This semester, MPACT at Enota is discovering the multiple meaning of "faces" as 1st and 2nd grade studies geometry, art, feelings, and idioms. Students created myths, written poetry, looked for symmetry and asymmetry in the world around us, made milk jug masks, studied character traits, and looked at the different "faces" of our personalities.

 

In 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade, students have "dived into" a unit on water. They studied global issues, chemistry, ph, recycling sewage water into drinking water, what happens to an egg in vinegar, and simulated acid rain's effect on buildings and statues with a chalk experiment. Fun things and lots of learning are happening in MPACT!

Getting into the St. Patrick's Day spirit, New Holland's 1st and 3rd grade students collaborate on a special project to trap a leprechaun.

 

This project required students to use the STEAM skills of measurement, probability and geometry to make the trap.

 Recipe for Success 
  
Students in Miss Dodd's 5th grade Skills Focus Class had a baking day on Friday. They had to find recipes that could be cooked in the microwave, write down the ingredients and directions, and then follow through with the recipe that they found. They made brownies, cookies, cupcakes, and s'mores.
