The kindergarten class recently completed their Shapes module in math. For a hands-on ending activity, the students created flat and solid shapes using toothpicks,
marshmallows, and candy corn. They may or may not have eaten a few of their building
materials :)
Mrs. Paul’s 2nd grade students developed a sense of wonder for biodiversity in science. Students gained practical experience in identifying animals and sorting them into scientific groups. They applied their knowledge in an engineering design challenge making bird feeders!
1st graders have been studying how animals have adapted to camouflage. This helps animals both hide and hunt. We decided that turkeys in the woods
would need to hide from hunters so they would not be eaten on Thanksgiving!
The AP Pre-K classroom is hard at work collecting, sorting, and weighing plastic lids and caps in hopes of getting a Buddy Bench for their playground. So far they have collected 25 lbs of plastic lids and caps. Lids/caps can be dropped off to their classroom now through February!
The 2nd Graders at Alhambra Primary planted a Tulip Test Garden. Our students learned about how tulips grow best and found the perfect spot for planting. We will be comparing our results with different schools around the United States!
Alhambra Primary is participating in a Trex Plastic Film Recycling Challenge! The more recycling we collect, the better our chances are at winning a Trex bench! We will recycle items such as grocery bags, bread bags, Ziplocs, and more. Please send in your bendable plastic!
