PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - DISCOVERY!
Each week, we will be highlighting one of our programs or offering resources for parents to illustrate The Radcliffe Way!
Radcliffe's Discovery classrooms are in full tilt as we embark on the fourth term of the school year. Oh my, where has the time gone?!? In Ms. Richardson's classroom, students have been exploring the continents and learning about different cities, landforms, cultures, and food! Students in Mr. Boyle's classes have been learning about Earth's changing seasons, cloud formation, global winds, and air masses. Students helped to design an investigation regarding angle of light and its effect on temperature and related that to Earth's tilted axis and the change of seasons. Students have also used their Chromebooks to create Google drawings of cloud formations and a short movie clip of heat transfer.
"Welcome to the Jungle," as you enter Ms. Johnson's classroom, students are learning all about Mexico. Students have created a life size jungle filled with animals found in Mexico. Students are also learning about the people, food, and lifestyle of that region. Ms. Usilton's classes are in the final days of their Westward Expansion topic, creating a timeline of events and posters describing the lives of Native Americans, and mobiles showing checks and balances.

AROUND THE CREEK
Cameron does division using racks and tubes that were generously purchased for the math program through the Giving Board. Manipulative tools help Cameron and other students see how division works. Click
here for our Online Giving Board to support valuable tools like this in the classroom!
 Little Creek's Four's students
are studying birds in spring and collected natural materials to build their own bird nests!
So much fun in the Little Creek Infant Room with some rubber duck sensory play!
Kelsey, Lily and Aisling created Fairy Houses during recess!
Ellie made her own dust bunny, who helped her create rhyming words!
Lorenzo is learning the six kinds of syllables. To expand on them, Lorenzo spells each syllable and identifies it as closed, open, vowel team, r controlled, silent e, or -cle. He then puts the syllables together to create the whole word. To incorporate vocabulary, Lorenzo then makes a structure of the word using Legos.
