Spotlight of the Week
We'd like to thank all 232 Daley School family members who attended our Fall Family Fun Night last Thursday. We loved seeing everyone having a good time creating their own glitter jars in room 310, enjoying the 7th grade poetry cafe in room 204, and observing living things under the microscope in room 109. But the night didn't stop there! Families had fun playing a round of music bingo in room 312, as well as using the metric system to create their own rainbow-colored test tubes! In room 122, families had a blast playing math games, and karaoke time in room 222 gave families a chance to showcase their vocal skills! In rooms 107 and 108, characters most certainly came to life, Zen time in room 132 was calm and relaxing, the quiddler competition in room 218 was exciting, and the roller coaster STEM challenge in room 103 had families working together to create the best roller coaster vehicles possible! Thank you all who stopped by our newly restocked library to meet our new library teacher, and for visiting the cafeteria and auditorium to help make our PTO bake sale and book fair a success!

On Friday, Mrs. Prato's grade 6 students conducted a science activity where they looked at brine shrimp under the microscope! Students were challenged to identify whether brine shrimp can be classified as living things. To do so, students needed to gather evidence about the characteristics of life, such as how brine shrimp respond to the environment around them, if/how they acquire energy from food, if they reproduce, and if they grow. During the activity, students observed brine shrimp from several life stages, as well as the brine shrimp's behavior when fed red-dyed yeast, and that brine shrimp are attracted to light. |

Our grade 7 split team have been working on representing proportional relationships with tables, graphs and equations. They learned to compare proportional relationships and non-proportional relationships with tables, graphs and equations. Students learned that the term constant of proportionality is the unit rate that can be represented by an equation of the form Y=kX and that its graph lies on a line through the origin, and that the unit rate or the constant of proportionality represents the steepness of the line. Ultimately, students will learn to use the equation to solve problems involving constant speed, unit price and measurement conversions. |
|
Our grade 8 split team students have been working on dilations of points and polygon figures on a plane with no grid and on coordinate plane. Students applied scale factor, and center of dilation to draw images of figures under dilations on and off square grids and the coordinate plane. They learned that angle measures are preserved under a dilation, but lengths in the image grow and shrink by the same scale factor. As a result, students discover two figures are mathematically similar if the ratios of their corresponding sides lengths are proportional and two corresponding angles are congruent. |

Our "Bee the Change Recognition" is for students and staff only.
Staff and students must use their LPS account/email to complete the form.
