PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - DISCOVERY!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
It's the fourth week of school and Discovery teachers are busy immersing students in a creative space related to their topic. If you walk into Mrs. Johnson's room, you will find yourself surrounded by pictures of student's pets and stick figure family mobiles. The "All About Me" unit has been great fun, as the youngest students are encouraged to share facts about themselves, their family members, and their physical and skeletal system. If you walk down the hall, you will see the construction of a paper mache skeleton led by Mr. Boyle, as students learn about the different structural layers of the human body. Further past the library, Ms. Richardson's students have built a "pop up" Indian village that is being colonized by the English. Currently, a general assembly of students is discussing laws and colonial development. Directly across the hall, the oldest students are in the midst of the Revolutionary War, led by their general, Ms. Usilton. With Chromebooks and open minds, they are in the ranks taking two column notes, utilizing textbooks, and creating historical maps.

AROUND THE CREEK
Paige Holmes rides Fancy during Horseback Riding Enrichment!
Check out these moves from our Little Creek Martial Arts students!
Mrs. Moorman's Reading classes are hard at work! Above, Charlie uses Fruit Loops cereal to work on the "FLoSS rule" (i
f l, s, z, or f are at the end of a one syllable word with one short vowel, you double the last letter, such as "buzz," "mass," "bill"). Next, the "f" and "v" sounds are made with our mouths the same way, so Aidan puts his hand on his throat to feel the difference between the voiced "v" sound and the unvoiced "f" sound.
 This week, the Little Creek Three's class is learning all about apples! They made apple boats and even an apple volcano, from which they learned that when you combine baking soda and vinegar it causes a chemical reaction!
This week, Little Creek's Four's class investigated trees and collected fall leaves that they used to measure each other! They even got to measure Mr. Scott and found out that he is 23 leaves tall!
