    January 19, 2016 by Ms. Indellicate

    Ms. Indellicate’s 5th grade math classes shared their business plan proposals with their buddy classes. Ms. Thorne’s second grade class and Mrs. Schmunck’s kindergarten classes loved learning about starting your own business.

  3. STEM Activity

    January 3, 2016 by Ms. Indellicate

    Students used the elements of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) to plan a create a “cell phone tower.” The task was the create the tallest tower using the lowest cost per inch of materials. Students designed, built, redesigned, and rebuilt their towers. Once their structure was able to stand on its own, students measured, and used their Chromebook to photograph their work. They created a document with the photo and wrote a reflection of their project.

  5. Ice Cream in a Bag

    November 22, 2015 by Ms. Indellicate

    This Thanksgiving break, pair measurement with good taste-make ice cream in a bag!

    1) Take a small sized sealable (Ziploc type) bag and add

    1/2 cup of milk

    1 tbsp of sugar

    1/2 tsp of vanilla

     

    2) Seal it up, getting rid of as much air as you can. Now double bag it inside a similar-sized bag.

    3) Throw 4 cups of crushed or cubed ice with 6 tbsp of salt in a large freezer bag.

    (The salt is there to lower the freezing point of water)

    4) Put in your little double bag, and seal the large bag around it, getting rid of as much air as possible.

    5) Shake It!

    Shake the bag for at least five minutes before checking on its progress.

    6) When you remove the smaller bag, wipe it down carefully to get rid of all the salt on the outside.

    Enjoy!!

  10. The 2nd Week of School?

    September 15, 2015 by Ms. L

    I’m sure I am not alone when I say that I can’t believe the middle of September has arrived.  I am thrilled to be the new TAG Language Arts teacher here at GM.  I know quite a few families as I have taught older siblings, and I look forward to building community with those families who I am just meeting.

    I consider myself very fortunate to have a kind and exceedingly competent counterpart, Gina Indellicate.  We are both firmly committed to the success of our students in all areas of their lives, not just the academic component.  We hope to see you all at Back to School Night.

    Regards,

    Ms. Lindauer
