Week of April 24th to April 28th

The next round of PSSA testing will be held this week.  Students will take the Math portion on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.  I know they will do a great job!!!

We conducted a STEM experiment last week – building rafts to keep marshmallow peeps safe and dry.  The students had a lot of fun and came up with some ingenious designs!

Another trip to the Schuylkill Intermediate Unit Maker Space is in the works.  We had a blast on our first visit exploring 3D printing with Leopoly and the zSpace, and using Makey Makey to turn everyday objects (like bananas and marshmallows) into the controllers for playing games and music.

The next Gifted Parent Advisory Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 16th.  We are planning to have students showcase some of the projects and activities they worked on this year including our K’Nex theme park attractions.  Save the date!  I am hoping to see many of you and your students at the meeting.  It should be a great way to show parents exactly what we’re doing, wrap up the year, and set our sights on next year!

Please contact me with any questions or concerns at (570) 874-3661 Ext. 3132 or at nnestor@northschuylkill.net.
