Students in Mrs. Homan's class collaborated and practiced their math skills in some fun math centers! Rock star second graders!
As we wrap up our units on life-cycles, practices of science, and math equations, the students in Mrs. McIntyre's First grade class demonstrated all their new gained knowledge! The students used their 5-senses to describe an apple. What does an apple sound like? They used scientific vocabulary to order and describe the life-cycle of an apple. Using a math strategy of choice, the students created a mathematical story problem about apples on and off a tree. They were so creative!
🌎ECO HEROES TAKING ACTION🌎
Eco Action Team, unite!
Jensen Beach Elementary School is working to become a nationally certified eco-school and its Eco Action Team is leading the way!
Tonight, the team had its second meeting to discuss what students have done so far to learn about their surrounding ecosystem and what actions they want to take to reach their goal of being an eco-school.
Becoming a nationally certified eco-school isn't an easy task, but these students (with the help of teachers, parents and community partners) are ready for the challenge!

⚠️NATIONWIDE ALERT⚠️
Around this time tomorrow, the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission are planning to test both the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA).
The test will occur Wednesday, October 4, at 2:20 p.m. It will be conducted in two parts, with one set to go to cell phones and the other to radio and TV stations.
FEMA says the alert will have a unique tone and vibration to make the alert accessible to all recipients. Phones should receive the message only once in the 30 minutes after the test begins on Wednesday.

The First Grade Students in Mrs.McIntyre's class were having great fun being scientists. They were exploring with science tools and planting tomato seeds. The students would squeeze the tomatoes to get the seeds out. Watch out-It can get messy!

2nd graders in Mrs. Clark's class practiced their adding skills in centers using different strategies. Ask your kiddo to show you all the ways they can add!
Mrs. Engel's first graders extended their learning about the life cycle of an oak tree with the life cycle of an apple tree in these STEM stations! They were practicing their addition and subtraction skills, figured out the sequence of how to plant a seed and how it grows, and read their mini book about how apple trees change each season, then made their trees match the season on the page. 👏👏
Mrs. Clark's class finished their unit on animal habitats by creating habitat dioramas. Students presented their habitats sharing facts they learned through research. All habitats were very unique and creatively designed! Way to go 2nd graders!

🇺🇸CELEBRATE FREEDOM WEEK🇺🇸
The Florida Legislature has designated the last full week in September as "Celebrate Freedom Week." During this special week, the Martin County School District will proudly incorporate meaningful activities and lessons to reinforce the principles our nation was founded on. 🇺🇸📖
Celebrate Freedom Week highlights the significance of the Declaration of Independence. Through our social studies classes, students will participate in an age-appropriate in-depth student of the intent, meaning and importance of the Declaration of Independence. Each morning throughout the week, students will recite the following words of the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Families that do not wish to have their child participate in the oral recitation of the Declaration of Independence must provide written notice to their school no later than Friday morning, September 22.

🛤️RAIL SAFETY WEEK🛤️
Sept. 18-22 is Rail Safety Week, and with GoBrightline starting service from Miami to Orlando on Friday, this is an opportune time to remind families how to be safe near railroad crossings.
🚅 Drivers, pedestrians and cyclists should be aware that rail traffic runs in both directions.
🚅 Stay off the tracks and NEVER go around crossing gates.
🚅 Only cross the railroad at a designated crossing.
🚅 NEVER stop on the tracks.
🚅 Avoid distractions.
Brightline trains can travel up to 110 mph. With service starting to Orlando, more high-speed trains will be passing through Martin County.
Let's all be on board and stay safe near train tracks! Share this post and spread the word!
