Thank you everyone for your support and enthusiasm today for our wonderful rooftop garden. Congratulations to the acorn toss winners- Mrs. Hickey, Mrs. Hokans, and Mrs. Serrano-Stanco’s classes. Out of 365 acorns we were able to make 218 into the bin. That is 60% or three fifth! I can’t wait to see the garden unfold. Tell me about the different foods you tried.
The garden committee is busy getting ready for the grand opening on Earth Day this Friday. Parents are invited to the vine cutting ceremony from 8:45 to 9:00. Please consider joining the garden committee – kids and grandparents are welcome too!
We had fun in PreK searching for Bad Dog Bart’s treasure. Students traveled in packs and followed a map to different math stations. They preformed math tricks and discovered buried treasures. After the students drew their own maps. It was a great way to integrate social studies and math.
A team of first graders surveyed the rooftop garden to plan out their PBIS safety video. We are in the works of planning our grand opening on Earth Day, April 22nd. Contact Mrs. Neseralla if you can help with the festivities.
The Discovery Invention Convention was a huge success with close to 90 design engineers sharing their amazing inventions. Students showed great perseverance as they presented to 300 children and 100 adults. The judges were so impressed with the presentation skills, problem solving, design revisions and creativity. A special congratulations goes to our nine winners that will be going to compete in the Connecticut Invention Convention State Finals at UCONN.
Luke, Isabella, Eric, Faith, Nathan, Cailin, Vaibhav, Laasya and Alex will show what Discovery Academy students are made of. We also want to send a shout out to our wonderful judges: Christine Holley, Tom Reed-Swale, Diane Leja, Jamie Reichenberg, Noelle Garneau, Tom Brodnitzki, Chaleigh Casas, Dan Aloi and UCONN Engineering Ambassadors, as well as our parent volunteers. Thanks for making my first Invention Convention a huge success – Fondly, Mrs. Neseralla
