The students in Mrs. Lagano's 5th grade class are in the final stages of their scientific study of the Phenomenon of the Super Blue Blood Moon. So far, they have discovered that several phenomenons occur at once when this very rare event happens. To showcase their learning, the students will be working on a variety of choice projects such as 3D models, movies, slideshows and creative writing. They cannot wait to get started and to share their knowledge of the Super Blue Blood Moon!
Winter Solstice STEAM day was a success across Wells Road School! The students learned about Newgrange in Ireland. This mound of stone, earth and rock was built 5,200 years ago and at sunrise on the Winter Solstice a 60 foot corridor is illuminated which leads to a special chamber deep within. Each student at Wells Road created their version of Newgrange. - Amy Lupoli, Science Coach
The students in Ms. Hayden’s classroom have been learning about morphemes. They use matrices to explore word structure and build interrelated words.

What's Going On In This Picture?
Looking to build your child's prediction and inferential reasoning skills? Check out this fun resource from the New York Times. Each week they post a different picture without the headline or caption. You and your child can look for clues to predict what you think the headline and caption are. - Sara Gildea, Resource Teacher

5th grade writers teach lots of information about an expert topic including facts, numbers, quotes and tips. We are writing nonfiction chapter books on a variety of topics including ice fishing, planting, football, Minecraft and special places like Ireland. - Caroline Martin
Thank you Mrs. Foskitt and our amazing 5th grade violin players! Such a wonderful showcase for Wells Road in the Spotlight! 🎻
Students in Mr. Faber's fourth grade class work together to find equivalent fractions. This is a big unit for fourth graders as they need to apply many different math skills.
Fourth grade students conducted a collision lab to understand how rivers are formed. The students poured 100, 200 and 300 ml of water into a bottle, let it roll down a ramp and collide with a cup. They then recorded the data and determined the average distance that the cup traveled. Super scientists at work! - Amy Lupoli, Science Coach
Tomorrow, Friday, November 22, is World Kindness Day. If you can, wear something with kind words on it. Let’s always remember that Kindness Matters!

Fifth grade students completed class puzzles to hang in Mrs. Busbey's room. The students colored the pieces, played a game to figure out the words, and then worked as a class to put them together. A great activity to start developing our own games and puzzles in Genius Hour!
